Abstract
The damping behavior of an Fe-28Mn-6Si-5Cr-0.5NbC (mass%) shape memory alloy was measured by low cycle fatigue tests during tension-compression loadings. A remarkable damping capacity was observed above the strain amplitude of 0.1%, and the specific damping capacity (SDC) parameter reached saturation at ~ 80% above 0.4%. The reversible motion of the γ/ε interfaces is considered to dominate the cyclic deformation behavior, while the work hardening during tension-compression loading is negligible. These characteristics are favorable for seismic damping devices that protect civil structures from earthquakes.
