Design of SMA Damper and Analysis on Seismic Control of Frame Structure

Article Preview

Abstract:

With the SMA (Shape Memory Alloy) banner model, the effect of pre-stressing and displacement, stiffness and length to the energy dissipation ratio is studied. The two equations, which are of pre-stressing and displacement to the energy dissipation ratio are proposed. The method are put forward to confirm the stiffness and length of SMA . Based on the above analysis, a new pull-press SMA damper is designed. The simulation analysis on seismic response of five-floor frame with SMA damper shows that the displacement and acceleration of the top floor are reduced by 50﹪at least. It verifies that this kind of SMA damper can availably suppress the seismic response of structure.
