Parametric vibration of composite beams with integrated shape memory alloy elements
… vibration in composite beam structures with shape memory alloy elements. As a precursor to this investigation, a flexible steel beam of rectangular uniform cross-section is considered with a lumped end mass under a parametric excitation. A single frequency harmonic excitation in the vertical …

Thermoelastic control of adaptive composites for aerospace applications using embedded nitinol actuators
Aerospace structures have stringent pointing and shape control requirements during long-term exposure to a hostile environment with no scheduled maintenance. This makes them excellent candidates for a smart structures approach as current passive techniques prove insufficient. This study …
