In order to solve the problem of noise and comfort caused by vibration during automobile driving, this paper proposes to use shape memory alloy wire as driving element and simplified beam structure to form intelligent beam composite structure, and use the restoring force generated by shape memory alloy wire to realize vibration control of the structure. several macroscopic phenomenological constitutive models of NiTi alloy were summarized and analyzed. On the basis of the Liang-Rogers one-dimensional constitutive model, Simulating the response force changing process of the SMA wire by useing MATLAB. According to the oretical analysis, we can obtain the system stiffness matrix and mass matrix, establish the dynamic model of smart beam composite structure, and analyze the interaction between shape memory composite wire prestress and natural frequency. The numerical simulation method is used to establish the simulation model and study the influence of the size and position parameters of the intelligent beam structure and the restoring force on its vibration characteristics. The results show that the natural frequency of the beam decreases and the natural frequency of the SMA wire increases with the increasing restoring force of SMA wire. As the distance from the SMA wire to the neutral axis increases, the natural frequency of the system increases, revealing the mechanism of vibration control of the shape memory alloy smart beam composite structure.
