Superelastic and cyclic response of NiTi SMA at various strain rates and temperatures
To characterize the thermomechanical response, especially the superelastic behavior of NiTi shape-memory alloys (SMAs) at various temperatures and strain rates, we have performed a series of both quasi-static and dynamic uniaxial compression tests on cylindrical samples, using an Instron servohydraulic testing machine and UCSD’s enhanced Hopkinson technique. Strain rates from 10 /s to about 420...
متن کاملInvestigation on the Cyclic Response of Superelastic Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) Slit Damper Devices Simulated by Quasi-Static Finite Element (FE) Analyses
In this paper, the superelastic shape memory alloy (SMA) slit damper system as an alternative design approach for steel structures is intended to be evaluated with respect to inelastic behavior simulated by refined finite element (FE) analyses. Although the steel slit dampers conventionally used for aseismic design are able to dissipate a considerable amount of energy generated by the plastic y...
متن کاملRate-dependent Thermo-mechanical Modelling of Superelastic Shape-memory Alloys for Seismic Applications
Experimental tests performed on superelastic shape-memory alloys (SMAs) show a significant dependence of the stress–strain relationship on the loading–unloading rate, coupled with a not negligible oscillation of the material temperature. This feature is of particular importance in view of the use of such materials in earthquake engineering, where the loading rate affects the structural response...
متن کاملDesign of SMA-Brace Devices for the Seismic Retrofit of Steel CBF
Received: November 02, 2017 Revised: January 12, 2018 Accepted: January 17, 2018 Abstract: Introduction: Retrofit interventions are often performed by introducing in structures dissipative devices able to improve the global seismic response particularly in terms of energy dissipation capacity. In the case of Concentric Braced Steel Frames (CBF), these devices are generally introduced in the for...
متن کاملAnalytical Prediction of Seismic Response of Steel Frames with Superelastic Shape Memory Alloy
Superelastic Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) is accepted when it used as connection in steel structures. The seismic behaviour of steel frames with SMA is being assessed in this study. Three eightstorey steel frames with different SMA systems are suggested, the first one of which is braced with diagonal bracing system, the second one is braced with nee bracing system while the last one is which the SM...
