The applicability of shape memory alloys (SMAs) in structural dynamics, particularly as hysteretic damping elements, is limited by the difficulties in modelling their deformation characteristics. At typical engineering design levels of loading SMAs exhibit pseudo-elastic properties. A combined experimental and simulation approach suitable for the characterisation of novel smart devices based on the pseudo-elastic effect is described.
