Lecis NoraThis article investigates the efficiency of hybridizing composites with thin layers of martensitic shape memory alloys for improvement of damping. The non-linear damping behaviour of martensitic shape memory alloys is simulated using a modified version of Masing’s rules. The model was implemented in a user subroutine of a finite element code, and validated by a numerical simulation of experimental hysteresis loops at different maximum strain amplitudes. The experimental free decay of hybridized glass fiber reinforced polymer beams was simulated using the finite element model, including the validated model of the investigated materials. The amplitude-dependent damping of the hybrid beams in free decay was reproduced successfully in the numerical analysis and it was proven that the hybridization technique is efficient for improvement of damping.

Simone CinquemaniLecis NoraThis paper deals with the experimental and numerical characterization of a high damping CuAlMn sheet with a martensitic micro-structure at ambient temperature. A Cu-Al-Mn shape memory alloy containing 11.65 wt.% of Al and 3 wt.% of Mn, was cast and hot rolled to the thickness of 0.4–0.3 mm. Transformation temperatures, micro-structure and mechanical properties were studied. Effects of the heat treatment on damping were investigated, identifying the proper heat treatment to obtain a higher damping. Having to model the amplitude dependent damping of the material investigated, a material model was developed based of cyclic behavior under traction-compression load. The model was validated with experiments on the non-linear damping of the material.

A new design of a Cu based SMA/GFRP lateral horn of a railway collector is proposed. Synergistic contribution of the performance parameters associated with the SMA, including specific damping, specific stiffness, and volume fraction, as well as those associated with the host composite such as flexural rigidity, SMA through-the-thickness location, and SMA-host interfacial strength, is taken into account. The aim is to increase the structural damping of the first flexural mode of the horn without significantly changing its flexural stiffness and weight. The focus of this work also applies to manufacturability and the cost effectiveness of the component for future industrial production.
