A New Type of Hybrid-Passive-Damper

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper investigated the superelasticity and hysteresis characteristics of TiNi shape memory alloy ( SMA ) wire at room temperature, then the mechanical parameters of which were obtained. Based on the TiNi SMA wire and a purchased viscous damper, a new type of hybrid-passive-damper was designed and developed. Experiments were performed in order to validate the relationship of loading frequency and characteristic parameters such as energy dissipation capacity, equivalent damping ratio and equivalent stiffness. Experimental results show that hybrid-passive-damper designed in this paper has excellent energy dissipation capacity and is suitable for the vibration control of structures with long vibration period.
