A shape memory alloy adaptive tuned vibration absorber: design and implementation

In this paper a tuned vibration absorber (TVA) is realized using shape memory alloy (SMA) elements. The elastic modulus of SMA changes with temperature and this effect is exploited to develop a continuously tunable device. A TVA with beam elements is described, a simple two-degree-of-freedom model d...
