Abstract: Iron-based shape memory alloy (Fe-SMA) is an emerging class of material having a great potential for civil engineering, especially seismic engineering applications. However, the behavior of Fe-SMA strongly depends on ...

Abstract: Shape memory alloy (SMA) is a class of smart materials that can recover large inelastic deformations either by heating (shape memory effect) or unloading (superelasticity). For structural applications, SMA components (such ...

Abstract: Transportation infrastructure is difficult to manage and maintain during the operation period, because they are widely distributed and involve many points. In view of this problem, the current situation for structural ...

Abstract: This study introduces a new type of shear panel damper that utilizes iron-based shape memory alloy (Fe-SMA) with enhanced low-cycle fatigue (LCF) resistance for structural damage control, with a particular focus on the ...

Abstract: The combination of heat transport and heat-work conversion processes in thermal systems highlights the importance of the integrated modeling and optimization method. Following the analogy between power flow and heat transfer, ...
