Owing to excellent re-centering capability and good dam** behavior, superelastic shape
memory alloys (SMAs) are emerging as a potential new material to enhance the seismic …

A novel nonlinear tuned mass damper (TMD) with pre-strained SMA helical springs, referred
to as SMAS-TMD, is proposed to reduce the dynamic responses of a single floor frame. This …

In this paper, a tunable metamaterial based on shape memory alloy springs is designed,
which can achieve bandgap tuning by spring's unique shape memory effect. The variation …

This paper proposes a novel self-centering negative stiffness damper (SCNSD), which
combines superelastic shape memory alloy (SMA) and prepressed springs in parallel for …
