Structural Damping with Iron-Based Shape Memory Alloys introduces the fundamental properties and practical applications of iron-based shape memory alloys (Fe-SMAs) from the perspective of seismic engineering. The book objectively discusses the superiority of this novel class of materials that could potentially address the limitations of the existing seismic control technology. The results, vividly presented as tables and figures, are demonstrated with religious experimental verifications supplemented by comprehensive numerical investigations. The book aims to help bridge the gap between materials science and structural engineering fronts, and to shed light on the opportunity of commercializing Fe-SMA products in construction industry.
From the knowledge provided, readers will gain an in-depth understanding of the working mechanisms of various Fe-SMA-based structural devices and members, including braces, dampers, steel connections, base isolators, and concrete components, and as a result they will be provided with a broader vision of next-generation performance-based seismic design for novel adaptive structural systems. The cutting-edge research introduced in this book will also provide technical incentives to encourage design professionals, contractors, and building officials to use high performance and smart materials in structural design, allowing them to remain at the forefront of construction technology.
