<title>Damping in SMA-reinforced composites using SMA intrinsic properties</title>

Abstract: The hysteresis between transformation to martensite and austenite in a SMA is discussed here as an intrinsic material property to be used to enhance damping. Initially the SMA constitutive modelling is described on a thermomechanical basis before considering the coupling of the SMA with a host structure targeting in the long term to a composite. The different parameters influencing damping with regard to the applied loads is discussed and conclusions are drawn with regard to how these parameters have to be set… Show more

“…Moreover, since their stress-strain relationships show a large hysteresis loop with the energy corresponding to its area being dissipated, they are expected to be used not only as actuators but also as damping materials or shock absorbers (e.g. Thomson et al 1995, Adachi and Unjoh 1999, Gandhi and Chapuis 2001, Boller et al 2001.…”

“…The damping performance of a pseudoelastic SMA is relatively high because the area of its stress-strain hysteresis loop, which represents the dissipated energy, is large compared to usual metallic alloys, and for this reason the material is used in structural systems for damping enhancement [1]. However, since the SMA stress-strain relationship changes depending on the applied strain rate, strain amplitude, and temperature [2][3][4][5][6], in some conditions of the system we cannot obtain a large hysteresis loop and, accordingly, a good damping performance.…”

“…In the following, we briefly review the research on SMAs for active or passive control. Matsuzaki et al [7], Boller et al [8], and Thomson et al [9] investigated SMAs from the viewpoint of increasing the passive damping of structures. In particular, Boller [8] and Thomson [9] have analyzed the damping increase due to the use of prestressed SMA wires in a structure close to the one analyzed in the present paper, and their results demonstrate that pseudoelasticity can be used to augment passive damping significantly in structural systems.…”
