Abstract
The dissipation energy and reducing vibration response principle of shape memory alloy (SMA) superelastic damping is introduced in this paper. The influence of temperature, strain rate, cycling effect and pre-strain on SMA superelastic damping is investigated by experiments. The research results illustrate that SMA have great potential for use as efficient energy dissipation devices.
