Using shape memory alloy as dampers : design methodology
… in order of increasing complexity: the friction damper system, the hysteretic damper system, and the hysteretic lambda damper system, which dynamically is equivalent to the SMA damper system. Using the simulation results, various asymptotes on the design space are identified, and design …

Computational and Experimental Investigation of Seismic Structural Fuse Shapes for Structural Systems
Structural fuses are ductile elements of a structure that are designed to yield and protect the surrounding members from damage, and then be replaceable after a major seismic event. A promising type of seismic structural fuse consists of a steel plate with engineered cutouts leaving a configuration …

Evaluating Shear links for Use in Seismic Structural Fuses
… shown in preliminary analysis to have improved hysteretic behavior including increased stiffness and energy dissipating ability. Both of these characteristics lead to reduced drifts during earthquakes, which in turn leads to a reduction of drift related structural and nonstructural damage. Shear …
