This article explores the capabilities of a novel adaptive vibration absorber for civil engineering structures, with regard to frequency self-tuning, based on the temperature modulation of shape-memory alloy restitution elements. This real-time temperature modulation of shape-memory alloys, through Joule effect, enables to control the elastic modulus of these elements, by inducing thermal martensitic transformations, and allows for the adaptation of the stiffness of the absorber, in order to be continuously tunable for a wide frequency range. A series of simulations are performed, using numerical models of a lively footbridge, to give an additional insight into the high potentialities of this adaptive control approach in the mitigation of vibrations in civil engineering structures.

abstract An earthquake of MS = 6.3 occurred on 20 January 1982 near the east coast of Great Nicobar Island (in the Bay of Bengal), India and caused great panic among the inhabitants. Ground Fissures and damage to civil engineering structures was also caused. A study comprised of the recording of aftershocks and their migration, the preparation of an isoseismal map, and the compilation of other damage data is presented. Some recommendations have been made to permit suitable safeguards in future development.

First Time

In the present study, Iron-based FeMnAlNi and Cobalt-based CoNiGa shape-memory alloys (SMA) were processed by laser metal deposition for the first time. The materials show susceptibility to cracking upon processing when unheated substrates are employed. Pre-heating of the substrate materials eliminated cracking completely and enabled robust deposition of thin-wall structures. Microstructural analysis using optical microscopy revealed different microstructural evolution for the two materials considered.
