Abstract

A system of vibroisolation under consideration consists of a payload connected to a vibrating housing by plane shape memory alloy (SMA) slotted elements. The calculation of the mechanical behavior of the SMA is based on a microstructural theory. Simulations of harmonic and of impact excitations are carried out. The results have shown that protective properties of this system depend on the SMA state. The maximum reduction of the acceleration amplitude for harmonic excitation is reached when the SMA is in the martensitic (pseudo-plastic) state or in the two-phase state. A variation of temperature allows changing the resonance frequency and thus escaping from the resonance and controlling a mode of vibration.
