Self-Centering Shape Memory Alloy-Viscoelastic Hybrid Braces for Seismic Resilience

Self-Centering Shape Memory Alloy-Viscoelastic Hybrid Braces for Seismic Resilience

This paper presents a novel type of hybrid self-centering braces incorporating tension-only superelastic NiTi shape memory alloy (SMA) cables and integrated viscoelastic dampers (VEDs). One of our reasons for proposing this new SMA-viscoelastic hybrid brace (SCVEB) is to provide enhanced energy-diss...
