RISNumerical and Experimental Evaluation of the Damping Properties of Shape-Memory Alloys
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents and compares two different uniaxial constitutive models for superelastic shape-memory alloys (SMAs), suitable to study the dependence of the stress-strain relationship on the ...
Seismic Vibration Control Using Superelastic Shape Memory Alloys
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Superelastic NiTi shape memory alloy (SMA) wires and bars are studied to determine their damping and recentering capability for applications in the structural control of buildings subjected to ...
Seismic Assessment of Concentrically Braced Steel Frames with Shape Memory Alloy Braces
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The use of special concentrically braced frames has increased since the 1994 Northridge and 1995 Hyogoken–Nanbu Earthquakes. However, past performance suggests limited ductility and energy dissipation in braced frame systems ...
Computational Studies of Shape Memory Alloy Behavior in Biomedical Applications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Background: Nowadays, shape memory alloys (SMAs) and in particular Ni–Ti alloys are commonly used in bioengineering applications as they join important qualities as resistance to corrosion, ...
