In this study, the hysteretic behaviour of shape memory alloy (SMA) plates under cyclic
tension-release loadings was examined to promote their seismic applications, with an …

This study proposed novel designs for achieving self-centering (SC) behavior using
superelastic shape memory alloy (SMA) buckling-restrained plates (BRPs). Compared with …

As a promising candidate in the construction industry, iron-based shape memory alloy (Fe-
SMA) has attracted lots of attention in the engineering and metallography communities …

This paper presents a comprehensive study on self‐centering dampers equipped with
friction springs. The basic mechanical behavior of individual friction springs is first …

This paper reports a comprehensive study on the mechanical behavior, annealing (heat
treatment) scheme, hysteretic modelling strategy, and potential seismic application of …

This study explores the development of a shape memory alloy (SMA)‐based hybrid self‐
centering brace that combines NiTi superelastic cables with viscoelastic dampers. First, the …

This paper reveals the great potential of using NiTi shape memory alloy (SMA) bolts for self-
centring connections against seismic action, with the main focus on the influence of …

This paper presents the behaviour of steel moment resisting and braced frames under pulse-
like near-fault earthquakes. The key properties for characterizing near-fault ground motions …
