Structural vibration control by shape memory alloy damper.

A damper device based on shape memory alloy (SMA) wires is developed for structural control implementation. The design procedures of the SMA damper are presented. As a case study, eight such SMA dampers are installed ina frame structure to verify the effectiveness of the damper devices. Experimental...
