This essay introduced that shape memory alloy in martensite-austenite coexisting was use to control the structural vibration. The proportion of martensite and austenite in shape memory alloy was selected which could realize the two basic characteristics of shape memory alloy. Based on Liang model, the mechanical model of shape memory alloy was established. The computer simulation analysis of the structure was achieved by using Matlab, and the result of numerical analysis proved that shape memory alloy in martensite-austenite coexisting could effect structural vibration control.

Shape memory alloy is a good candidate for realizing the passive control of structural vibration due to its excellent characteristic of energy dissipation. In this paper, the damping characteristic of shape memory alloy is quantitatively described based on Liang’s phase transformation model and thermo-mechanical constitutive equation for shape memory alloy. The vibration performances of a beam structure with shape memory alloy damper are investigated based on basic knowledge of vibration theorem. Numerical calculations show that the vibration of beam structure is well reduced by using the shape memory alloy damper.

NiTi Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) has been widely studied in the field of structural vibration control, and the results show that the fatigue life of the SMA is a key factor of the vibration control system. In this paper, the fatigue test is carried out in Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer (DMA + 1000) to analyze how the changes of temperature and strain amplitude affecting the main fatigue parameters. The test results show that when the test temperature is higher than Austenite finish temperature (Af), the fatigue properties of SMAs are significantly affected by temperature. With the increase of temperature, the fatigue life becomes shorter and the energy consumption decreases, while the area of hysteresis curve, the stress amplitude, and effective modulus increase.

The traditional mathematical model of shape memory alloy (SMA) is complicated and difficult to program in numerical analysis. The artificial neural network is a nonlinear modeling method which does not depend on the mathematical model and avoids the inevitable error in the traditional modeling method. In this paper, an optimized neural network prediction model of shape memory alloy and its application for structural vibration control are discussed. The superelastic properties of austenitic SMA wires were tested by experiments. The material property test data were taken as the training samples of the BP neural network, and a prediction model optimized by the genetic algorithm was established. By using the improved genetic algorithm, the position and quantity of the SMA wires were optimized in a three-storey spatial structure, and the dynamic response analysis of the optimal arrangement was carried out. The results show that, compared with the unoptimized neural network prediction model of SMA, the optimized prediction model is in better agreement with the test curve and has higher stability, it can well reflect the effect of loading rate on the superelastic properties of SMA, and is a high precision rate-dependent dynamic prediction model. Moreover, the BP network constitutive model is simple to use and convenient for dynamic simulation analysis of an SMA passive control structure. The controlled structure with optimized SMA wires can inhibit the structural seismic responses more effectively. However, it is not the case that the more SMA wires, the better the shock absorption effect. When SMA wires exceed a certain number, the vibration reduction effect gradually decreases. Therefore, the seismic effect can be reduced economically and effectively only when the number and location of SMA wires are properly configured. When four SMA wires are arranged, the acceptable shock absorption effect is obtained, and the sum of the structural storey drift can be reduced by 44.51%.
