A new nonlinear finite element model for transient dynamic response of a micro composite plate embedded with micro SMA wires considering the size effects

Thermal Modal Performance of Composite Laminates Embedded with Anti-Symmetric Oblique Coupling Gradient Pre-Strained SMA Wires for Suppressing Resonance

“…Shape memory alloys (SMA) are a part of the most attractive smart materials, which possess several excellent unique attributes of shape memory effect (SME) and pseudoelasticity (PE) [1][2][3]. The thermodynamic behavior of composite laminates embedded with SMA wires in engineering components exhibit distinctive behavior of SMA, which are associated with martensitic phase transformation due to changes in the stress and/or temperature [4][5][6][7][8]. Embedding SMA wires to composite laminates in symmetric or antisymmetric distribution form has numerous applied beneficial effects on utilizing both temperature-induced and stress-induced phase transformations and results in the variation of modulus and recovery stresses generation and thus modal modification.…”
