The dynamics of the vibro-impact system which consists of a capsule main body interacting
with a harmonically driven internal mass in various environments is studied in this paper …

The present contribution is devoted to the study of the influence of shape memory alloys on
the dynamic behavior of flexible rotors. In this sense, a suspension composed by …

The paper describes a novel smart rotor support damper with variable stiffness made with a
new multifunctional material–the shape memory alloy metal rubber (SMA-MR). SMA-MR …

This paper performs analytical investigations on symmetric jump phenomena reflecting multi-
timescale dynamics in a nonlinear shape memory alloy oscillator with parametric and …

This paper presents a new mathematical model of a Jeffcott rotor within a snubber ring with
anisotropic support. The derivation and validation of the model are based on an …

Smart material systems and structures have remarkable properties responsible for their
application in different fields of human knowledge. Shape memory alloys, piezoelectric …

Rotating system dynamics are usually related to the contact between rotor and stator, which
induces undesirable behaviors that may both compromise endurance and prevent the …

Helical pseudoelastic shape memory alloy (SMA) springs are integrated into a dynamic
system consisting of a rigid rotor supported by passive magnetic bearings. The aim is to …
