Parametric Study on Seismic Control Design of a New Type of SMA Damper Installed in a Frame-Type Bridge Pier
Publication: Journal of Aerospace Engineering
Volume 31, Issue 2
Abstract
This paper focuses on the seismic control design of a new type of shape memory alloy (SMA) damper named double X-typed SMA (DX-SMA) damper. It is installed in a frame-typed bridge pier. A parametric study based on time-history analyses is carried out to investigate the influence of the strength ratio and the span ratio. The amplification effect of the DX-SMA damper is tested by a low cyclic loading process. The performance of the structural safety and the self-centering device postearthquake are evaluated by analyzing the residual top displacement and the maximum top displacement of the frame pier. Lastly, the energy dissipation of the SMA damper is investigated. Design recommendations are suggested following the results of the parametric study.
