摘要
Abstract： Shape Memory Alloy （SMA） is a type of material that offers some unique characteristics for use in devices for vibration control applications. Based on SMA＇s material properties, fottr types of control devices that incorporate NiTi SMA wires are introduced in this paper, which include three types of dampers （SMA damper, SMA-MR damper and SMA-friction damper） and one kind of isolation bearing （SMA-rubber bearing）. Mechanical models of these devices and their experimental verifications are presented. To investigate the control performance of these devices, the SMA-MR damper and SMA-rubber bearing are applied to structures. The results show that the control devices could be effective in reducing the seismic response of structures.
