This paper presents experimental testing of a new semi-active vibration control device comprising a shape memory polymer (SMP) core that is reinforced by an SMP-aramid composite skin. This control device works as a load-transfer component that can be integrated into truss and ...
This paper presents design and characterization of a new type of structural joint which can vary its stiffness through actuation. Stiffness variation is employed to control the dynamic response of frame structures equipped with such joints. The joint is made of a shape memory pol

This paper introduces a new semi-active strategy for vibration control of truss and frame structures equipped with variable stiffness and damping joints which consist of a shape memory polymer (SMP) core reinforced by an SMP-aramid composite skin. When the joints are actuated to

This paper presents numerical and experimental studies on semi-active seismic response control of structures equipped with variable stiffness and damping structural joints. Such adaptive joints, which are comprised of a shape memory polymer (SMP) core reinforced by an SMP-aram ...
This paper presents experimental testing of a new type of semi-active variable stiffness and damping control device in the form of an adaptive joint for truss and frame structures. The adaptive joint is made of a shape memory polymer (SMP) core that is reinforced by a SMP-aramid

This paper presents a new strategy to control the structure dynamic response via a shift of the natural frequencies obtained through using variable stiffness joints. The joints are made of shape memory polymers and are fabricated through 3D printing. Stiffness variation is activa
