Vibration of a Shape Memory Alloy Wire

Experimental Study on Vibration Control of Shape Memory Alloy Actuated Flexible Beam

This paper describes the development of an experimental platform which analyzes and controls the vibration of a Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) actuated and piezo sensed flexible beam. The vibration is controlled using the interactive force of a pair of almost identical SMA wires connected in an antagonistic manner, arranged in parallel to and on both sides of the cantilever beam structure. Data acqui...

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...

Structure and thermomechanical behavior of NiTiPt shape memory alloy wires.

The objective of this work is to understand the structure-property relationships in polycrystalline NiTiPt (Ti 42.7 at.% Ni 7.5 at %Pt) with a composition showing pseudoelasticity at ambient temperatures. Structural characterization of the alloy includes grain size determination and texture analysis while the thermomechanical properties are explored using tensile testing. Variation in heat trea...
