The Vibration Control Research of Steel Frame Structure with Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) Cables

Article Preview

Abstract:

The dynamic response control for a three layer steel frame structure with shape memory alloy (SMA) cables under seismic ground motions was studied experimentally in the paper. A three-story steel frame structure model assembling the diagonal SMA cables was tested in a shaking table. The maximum acceleration and displacement of each layer of the steel frame structure were tested under two cases: assembling with SMA cables or not. The experimental result shows that the maximum acceleration and displacement of each layer are significantly reduced by assembling the SMA cables. The vibration responses of the steel frame structure had been greatly reduced by the great dissipation efficiency for SMA dampers.
