Shake table test and numerical study of self‐centering steel frame with SMA braces (2017, background): “A variety of seismic-resisting self-centering devices or structural members have been developed based on these favorable features of superelastic SMAs [10–26], including SMA base isolators for elevated highway bridges and frames [11, 21], SMA dampers [12], SMA restrainers for bridge retrofitting [14”
Seismic Response Control Using Shape Memory Alloys: A Review (2011, background): “Several studies have considered the use of SMAs as diagonal braces in frame structures (Saadat et al., 2001; Han et al., 2003; Lafortune et al., 2007; McCormick et al., 2007a).”
Seismic Assessment of Concentrically Braced Steel Frames with Shape Memory Alloy Braces (2007, background): “Recent interest in the development of new technologies to limit interstory and residual drifts in civil engineering structures as a result of a seismic event has led to several numerical and experimental studies which have highlighted the possibility of utilizing SMAs as a promising innovative mater”
Applications of shape memory alloys in civil structures (2006, background): “The SMA energy dissipation devices have been seen in the forms of braces for framed structures [3, 15 ,7,8,29,11,36, 34,1,32,13], dampers for cable-stayed bridges [21 ]o r simply supported bridges [6,2], connection elements for columns [35, 36,20 ]a nd retrofitting devices for historic buildings [ 1”
