  • First Online:
Mechanics and Model-Based Control of Advanced Engineering Systems

Abstract

In this paper, the properties of shape memory alloy (SMA) wires relevant for their application as passive elements to mitigate the vibrations of stayed cables in bridges are discussed. These properties are investigated by carrying out experimental tests on samples of diameter 2.46 mm. Future research will address the scalability issues.
