Investigation of the damping behavior of shape memory alloy-nitinol reinforced composite

Abstract The use of Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) recently increased in smart structures. It is essential to investigate the impact viscoelastic material, and transformation temperatures SMA on dynamic behavior, especially damping capability reinforced composite. In this paper, constants material are evaluated experimentally, a model based experimental results proposed for effect wires combination selective activation has been studied using validated experimentally. observed that predicted by close calculated experimentation. Also, varies with SMA. Thus, control composite feasible controlling temperature. work can shift 9.58% activating all nitinol wires.
