Variable stiffness and damping components for semi-active vibration control and inflatable rigidization

Qinyu Wang,
Gennaro Senatore,
Kaspar Jansen
et al.

Abstract: <p>The paper explores the potential applications of adaptive components based on shape memory polymer (SMP) composites in vibration control of plate/shell structures and rigidization of inflatable structures. These components achieve stiffness and damping variation by thermally actuating SMP between its glassy and rubbery states. In CASE A, steel-SMP sandwich plates of a truss bridge are actuated to glass transition temperature (Tg), where material damping reaches the peak to mitigate dynamic responses. … Show more
