Abstract

The goal of this study is to perform several bending tests on a shape memory alloy bar and to analyze the characteristics of the bending behavior. The other goal is to verify the seismic performance of an SMA bar bending application. Single and double bending tests were conducted with varying loading speeds and maximum displacement. The loading and the unloading stiffness were estimated from the force-displacement curves and the equivalent damping ratio of each test was also assessed. In single bending, the SMA bar showed the stiffness hardening after the displacement of 32 mm. It is assumed that this phenomenon is due to the stress-induced-martensite hardening. The increasing loading speed did not influence on the stiffness of the single bending SMA bar. The stiffness of the double bending bar is about 5 times of that of the single bending. This study introduced a seismic application of SMA bending bars as seismic restrainers for bridges and showed its practicality. SMA bars in bending are used for seismic restrainers in a three-span-simply-supported bridge. They showed the effectiveness to reduce the responses of the bridge and the applicability for a seismic restrainer. The significance of this study is to provide basic knowledge of SMA bending and its seismic applications.

본 논문은 형상기억합금 바의 휨 거동 특성 파악하기 위하여 여러 가지의 휨 거동 실험을 수행하였으며, 형상기억합금 바의 휨 거동분석을 통하여 지진 시에 적용 가능성을 규명하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 단순 휨 및 이중 휨 실험을 재하속도 및 최대변위를 변수로 수행하였다. 힘-변위 곡선에서 추정한 재하 및 제하 시의 강성이 추정되었으며, 등가의 감쇠비도 각 실험결과에서 추정되었다. 단순 휨에서 형상기억합금 바는 32 mm 변위 이후에 강성증가현상을 나타냈으며, 이것은 SIM(Stress-Induced-Martensite) 현상에 의해서 발생하는 것으로 추정된다. 재하속도의 증가는 형상기억합금 휨 강성 증가에 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이중 휨 거동에서 형상기억합금 바는 단순 휨에 비해 강성이 약 5배정도 크게 나타났으며, 감쇠비는 유사하게 나타났다. 휨 거동의 형상기억합금 바를 지진 변위 제어장치로 사용하여 3경간 단순지지 교량에 적용하여 지진해석을 수행하였다. 이러한 지진변위 제어장치는 매우 효과적인 것으로 나타났으며, 실용적인 것으로 판단된다. 본 논문의 의미는 형상기억합금 바의 휨 거동에 대한 기초 지식을 제공하는데 있다.
