Emerging superelastic SMA core damping elements for seismic application

Structural and non-structural damage reported after recent strong earthquakes promotes a fundamental shift in structural design target from “collapse resistance” to “fast structural function recovery”. A unique class of metal called superelastic shape memory alloy (SMA) has been emerging as a promis...
