Free vibration response of a multilayer smart hybrid composite plate with embedded SMA wires

open access: yesLatin American Journal of Solids and Structures
In this paper, free vibration response of a hybrid composite plate was studied. Effects of some geometrical, physical and material parameters on response of the composite plates embedded with shape memory alloy (SMA) wires were investigated, which have ...

Cyclic Behavior of Masonry Shear Walls Retrofitted with Engineered Cementitious Composite and Pseudoelastic Shape Memory Alloy

open access: yesSensors, 2022
The behavior of masonry shear walls reinforced with pseudoelastic Ni–Ti shape memory alloy (SMA) strips and engineered cementitious composite (ECC) sheets is the main focus of this paper. The walls were subjected to quasi-static cyclic in-plane loads and

Analysis of SMA hybrid composite structures using commercial codes [PDF]

open access: yesSPIE Proceedings, 2004
A thermomechanical model for shape memory alloy (SMA) actuators and SMA hybrid composite (SMAHC) structures has been recently implemented in the commercial finite element codes MSC.Nastran and ABAQUS. The model may be easily implemented in any code that has the capability for analysis of laminated composite structures with temperature dependent ...

SMA Hybrid Composites for Dynamic Response Abatement Applications [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Vibration and Acoustics, 2005
A recently developed constitutive model and a finite element formulation for predicting the thermomechanical response of shape memory alloy hybrid composite (SMAHC) structures are briefly described. Attention is focused on constrained recovery behavior in this study, but the constitutive formulation is also applicable to modeling restrained or free ...
