On the free vibration of thermally pre/post-buckled shear deformable SMA hybrid composite beams

Nonlinear thermo-inertial instability of functionally graded shape memory alloy sandwich plates

“…Cho and Rhee [36] introduced a nonlinear finite element approach for modeling the hybrid laminated composite shell reinforced by SMA fibers subjected to the thermomechanical loading. Nonlinear dynamic and stability responses of laminated composite beams containing SMA fibers were investigated by Asadi et al [39,40]. A study on the influence of SMA fibers on structural responses of hybrid composite plates was also conducted by Asadi et al [41].…”

“…In all of these studies, thermomechanical responses of SMA fibers have not been extensively investigated, except few attempts that have extracted the approximate curves from experimental results. A few studies have been developed by using the phenomenological model to express the constitutive characteristics of SMA fibers [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45]. Roh et al [35] investigated the thermal snapping phenomenon in shell panels by the finite element method.…”

Radial vibration analysis of pseudoelastic shape memory alloy thin cylindrical shells by the differential quadrature method

“…A closed-form solution was obtained for the thermal post-buckling and nonlinear free vibration analysis of such beams. Asadi et al [11] investigated the free vibration of shape memory alloy hybrid composite beams in thermally pre/post-buckled domains by using the first-order shear deformation theory and the Brinson model. They presented exact closed-form solutions for the buckling temperature, post-buckling deformation and temperature-deformation equilibrium path of these symmetric and asymmetric simply supported beams under uniform temperature rise and an analytical solution for the free vibration of the symmetric beam around the first buckled configuration.…”

Mission BION-M1: Results of RIBES/FOAM2 experiment on shape memory polymer foams and composites

“…Shape memory alloys (SMAs) seem to be preferred for this kind of studies. In fact, SMA hybrid composite beams [1] and laminated composite shell panels embedded with SMA fibers [7] have been recently studied. SMAs have been extensively studied also for actuators and several applications can be found, from hold-down/release and deployment devices [3] to nano-muscle actuators [4], and gas release mechanisms [2].…”
