A shape memory alloy adaptive tuned vibration absorber: design and implementation

open access: yes, 2005
In this paper a tuned vibration absorber (TVA) is realized using shape memory alloy (SMA) elements. The elastic modulus of SMA changes with temperature and this effect is exploited to develop a continuously tunable device.A TVA with beam elements is ...
