Abstract In this work, a basis is set forth for studying the effect of Shape Memory Alloy pseudoelasticity on the behavior of vibrating systems. A physically based model for Shape Memory Alloy psuedoelastic response is modified to predict the component level response of Shape Memory Alloy springs and is integrated into a numerical solution of the non-linear dynamic system that results from the inclusion of Shape Memory Alloy components in a dynamic structural system. The effect of pseudoelasticity on a dynamic system is investigated for various loading levels and system configurations, and the importance of large amplitude motion is discussed. Promising results from these investigations, and the application of these studies to experimental work in progress by the authors are briefly discussed.

In this study, we discuss the dynamics of a type of hanging truss structural system consisting of rigid and wire members, part of which are SMA (shape memory alloy) wires. This kind of truss structure has the capability of vibration isolation and absorption. Characteristics of zero compressive stiffness of wire members, SMA wire members and hanging configuration of the structure itself contribute to the effect of vibration isolation. The hysteretic loop of SMA wires plays a significant role in vibration attenuation. Mathematical models for this kind of dynamic problem are developed. Calculation process is introduced to take into account the mechanical characteristics of SMA and wire members. Dynamic characteristics are discussed; simultaneously, the effects of vibration isolation and attenuation have been confirmed. On the basis of the numerical calculations, advantages of combinations of various types of wire members, including the truss units having no bracing wires have been demonstrated.

In this work, the effect of pseudoelastic response of shape memory alloys (SMAs) on damping and passive vibration isolation will be presented. This study has been conducted by developing and utilizing a shape memory alloy (SMA) model (a physically based SMA model) to perform extensive parametric studies on a non-linear hysteretic dynamic system, representing an actual SMA damping and passive vibration isolation prototype device. The prototype device consists of SMA tubes undergoing pseudoelastic transformations under transverse loading. To accurately model the non-linear hysteretic response of SMA tubes present in the prototype device, a Preisach model (an empirical model based on system identification) has also been modified to simulate the response of the prototype device. Both the simplified SMA model and the Preisach model have been utilized to perform experimental correlations with the results obtained from actual testing of the prototype device. The investigations show that variable damping and tunable isolation response are major benefits of SMA pseudoelasticity. Correlation of numerical simulations and experimental results has shown that large amplitude displacements causing phase transformations of SMA components are necessary for an SMA based vibration isolation device to be effective in reducing the transmissibility of a dynamic system. It has also been shown that SMA based devices can overcome performance trade-offs inherent in a typical softening spring-damper vibration isolation system. In terms of modeling, the Preisach model gave relatively accurate results due to close proximity in predicting actual SMA component behavior. However, for a generic parametric study, the simplified SMA model has been found to be more useful as it is motivated from the constitutive response of SMAs and hence, could easily incorporate different changes in system conditions.

Abstract The negative stiffness exhibited by bi-stable mechanisms together with tunable hysteresis in the context of vibration isolation devices can enhance the dynamic resilience of a structure. The effects of negative stiffness and shape memory alloy (SMA) damping in base-isolated structures are here explored by carrying out an extensive study of the nonlinear dynamic response via pathfollowing, bifurcation analysis, and time integration. The frequency-response curves of the isolated structure, with and without the negative stiffness contribution, are numerically obtained for different excitation amplitudes to construct the acceleration and displacement transmissibility curves. The advantages of negative stiffness, damping augmentation and reduced accelerations and displacements transmissibility, as well as the existence of rich bifurcation scenarios giving rise to quasi-periodicity and synchronization, are extensively illustrated.
