Modeling of Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) spring elements for passive vibration isolation using simplified SMA model and Preisach model /

Advances in smart materials and structures technology, especially in applications of Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) as actuators and vibration isolation devices, require understanding of the nonlinear hysteretic response found in SMAs. SMA hysteresis can be modeled either through constitutive models base...
