Passive Vibration Damping-SMAs To better understand this effect and potential thus requires to:
Understand and analytically describe the SMA's constitutive behaviour regarding the different parameters such as training, damping, temperature, strain rate, prestraining, etc. Have a mechanical model which allows to perform trade-off studies regarding the material combinations to be used in a SMA reinforced composite. Identify the actions required and to be taken to determine and manufacture promising SMA reinforced composites and composites in general with enhanced damping properties.

Since the SMA is intended to enhance the damping of the SMA composite, it is worth determining where the SMA can have its highest damping contribution. Since the specific damping capacity (SDC) can be defined as the specific damping energy ED versus the specific strain energy ES, ED can be calculated from the stress-strain hysteresis measured in the experiment.

The fluid-damped D-Strut isolation system maintains its payload optical alignment after vibration and thermal exposure. Vibration tests at one micro-inch input and at one- tenth of an inch input show almost identical damping and isolation responses. The 70-lb test payload was made from wood with an aluminum backbone. The payload provided accurate mounting geometries for the six isolator struts, and precision locations for ten accelerometers and an optical cube.

Two tests were performed on each completed strut to determine its stiffness, damping, and isolation characteristics. A complex mechanical impedance test measured the static stiffness, dynamic stiffness, and damping coefficient of each strut. Peak displacement during impedance testing was 1 to 5-thousandths of an inch.

CSA Engineering has developed a vibration isolation system for use on a medium launch vehicle (Delta II class) which will reduce structureborne lateral loads imposed on a spacecraft from launch vehicles. Whole-spacecraft isolation is a challenging problem requiring a great deal of system-level and detail design engineering. The concept was to incorporate an isolation system into the payload attach fitting (PAF), which is the structure that connects the spacecraft to the launch vehicle. This program used actual models of spacecraft and launch vehicles. Selected launch environment loads were used in the design trade studies. At the conclusion of the design phase, complete coupled-loads analyses were also performed by McDonnell Douglas Aerospace to verify the performance of the isolation system. Full-scale prototype hardware (69 inches in diameter) was fabricated and tested to verify the analytical models. The isolated payload attach fitting was one-for-one replacement for the original, and flight version will weigh only 5% more than a conventional fitting.

Hard ceramics are also more favorable to dynamic operation because their smaller capacitance necessitates a lower current feed. The resulting heating is lower and allows a secure working towards a Curie temperature yet higher than soft ceramics one. It is currently admitted that piezoelectric properties are not deeply affected up to a temperature equal to half the Curie temperature and that it is possible to operate according to the opposite side up to half the polarization field.

The second demonstrator, which was investigated and can be included in a OA312 airfoil with 140 mm chord, starts from a standard elliptic APA230 actuator (stroke : 210m for 180 V) from Cedrat Recherche, coupled to a innovative kinematics for driving the flap . This short and direct concept, limiting the number of moving parts, without play and friction sources, and driven by an adequate electronics has allowed to improve the performance.
