Abstract:
Here, hysteretic performance of a new type of isolator called shape memory alloy (SMA) spring-friction bearing (SFB) was studied both experimentally and theoretically. Firstly, large scale superelastic NiTi SMA helical springs used for SFB were developed. Then, a SFB specimen was designed and fabricated. Secondly, the quasi-static tests for SFB under different loading conditions were conducted to study the influences of vertical pressure, displacement amplitude and loading frequency on SFB hysteretic curves and mechanical parameters, such as, equivalent stiffness, energy dissipation per cycle, equivalent damping ratio and equivalent kinetic friction coefficient. Finally, combining the restoring force model of SMA spring and the model of friction force, a simplified restoring force model for SFB was established and this model was employed to simulate the hysteretic behavior of the proposed isolation device. The results showed that SFB provides full hysteretic curves, an excellent energy dissipation capacity and a certain re-centering ability; moreover, the numerical results agree well with those of tests to verify the correctness of the restoring force model for SFB. © 2016, Editorial Office of Journal of Vibration and Shock.
