This paper discusses the manufacturing process and mechanical performance of a novel
self‐centring damper equipped with a group of kernel elements, namely, shape memory …

Abstract Recent Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA) for Chile has indicated a
significant increase in PGA values currently adopted in the country. Thus, assessing the …

We introduced shape memory alloy (SMA) assisted nonlinear energy sink (NES) with
negative stiffness for seismic vibration mitigation. The ability of dissipating energy through a …

The present paper deals with optimum performance of the shape memory–alloy-based
rubber bearing (SMARB) compared with the conventionally adopted lead rubber bearing …

The application of shape memory alloy (SMA) in seismic-resistant devices has received
extensive attention due to its unique superelastic and shape memory effect. The poor energy …

Vibration control of structures under near‐fault earthquakes by employing a friction
pendulum supplemented with thermally modulated shape memory alloy (SMA) springs as …

This article introduces an innovative system for enhancing the seismic performance of a
structure through facilitating large rotational (rocking) motion to occur without risking …

The merits of modular building construction in terms of improved quality control, high energy
efficiency and minimising on-site construction activities are well known. Fully self-supporting …

The effectiveness of the Tuned Liquid Column Damper (TLCD) has been established in
controlling the vibration of structures from wind or earthquakes. The present study …

This study proposes shape memory alloy based inerter combined with electromagnetic
transducer for both vibration control of buildings and energy harvesting. The proposed …
