Shape memory alloys in the form of bars are increasingly used to control structures under seismic loadings. This study investigates the hysteretic behavior and the ultimate energy dissipation capacity of large-diameter NiTi bars subjected to low- and high-cycle fatigue. Several specimens are subjected to quasi-static and to dynamic cyclic loading at different frequencies. The influence of the rate of loading on the shape of the hysteresis loops is analysed in terms of the amount of dissipated energy, equivalent viscous damping, variations of the loading/unloading stresses, and residual deformations. It is found that the log-log scale shows a linear relationship between the number of cycles to failure and the normalized amount of energy dissipated in one cycle, both for low- and for high-cycle fatigue. Based on the experimental results, a numerical model is proposed that consists of two springs with different restoring force characteristics (flag-shape and elastic-perfectly plastic) connected in series. The model can be used to characterize the hysteretic behavior of NiTi bars used as energy dissipation devices in advanced earthquake resistant structures. The model is validated with shake table tests conducted on a reinforced concrete structure equipped with 12.7 mm diameter NiTi bars as energy dissipation devices.

An energetic method is proposed to rapidly evaluate the macro- and microfatigue behavior of aluminum alloy in high-cycle fatigue. The theoretical correlation between the thermal signal and the energy dissipation during the fatigue process is established for the irreversible dissipation mechanism description. The energetic method is applied to predict the fatigue strength and the entire fatigue life of the aluminum alloy. Moreover, the energy dissipation is properly used to evaluate the microplastic behavior at the grain scale, which is responsible for the progressive movements of the internal microstructures. Experiments were carried out to validate the current energetic method, and good agreement was obtained between the predicted results and the traditional results. Thus, the current energetic method is confirmed to be promising for the macro and micro high-cycle fatigue behavior assessment.
