Adaptive Tunable Vibration Absorber using Shape Memory Alloy

This study presents a new approach to control the nonlinear dynamics of an adaptive absorber using shape memory alloy (SMA) element. Shape memory alloys are classified as smart materials that can remember their original shape after deformation. Stress and temperature-induced phase transformations are two typical behaviors of shape memory alloys. Changing the stiffness associated with phase tran...

Shape-Memory Polymer Composites

The development of shape-memory polymer composites (SMPCs) enables high recovery stress levels as well as novel functions such as electrical conductivity, magnetism, and biofunctionality. In this review chapter the substantial enhancement in mechanical properties of shape-memory polymers (SMPs) by incorporating small amounts of stiff fillers will be highlighted exemplarily for clay and polyhedr...

Microwave Tunable Composites with Melt- Extracted Magnetic Microwires

1 General Introduction A key to the realization of effective microwave tunable devices, among others, is to develop adaptive materials with superior adjustability of electromagnetic parameters. Since there are two fundamental electromagnetic parameters, namely, permittivity and permeability, the tunable property can then be readily approached by manipulating (i) permittivity directly via the el...
