Suitability of Shape Memory Alloys for vibration isolation with application to launch vehicle payloads /

This work details an investigation into the suitability of Shape Memory Alloys for the task of vibration isolation based on the similarities between the Shape Memory Alloy pseudoelastic behavior and the softening response of isolators whose response is similar to a buckling elastomer. In this work,...
