The invention relates to a
variable stiffness self-resetting
damper based on a
shape memory alloy material, and belongs to the field of
structural vibration and control. Comprising a left connecting plate, a slotted cuboid, a limiting sliding block, a transmission rod a, an SMA tow, a right connecting rod and various blocking rods. According to the variable-stiffness self-resetting
damper, the SMA wire bundles are in a stretched state no matter the variable-stiffness self-resetting
damper is pulled or pressed, and the material utilization efficiency is high; the left end and the right end of the SMA tow are in an isosceles triangle deformation state due to constraint of the stop lever, the
axial force amplification coefficient of the damper is an included angle between the direct stress section of the SMA tow and the axial direction of the damper, the included angle is reduced along with increase of
axial deformation of the damper, the
axial force amplification coefficient of the damper is increased, and therefore the
variable stiffness effect of the self-resetting damper is achieved. The rigidity of the self-resetting damper can be flexibly adjusted by adjusting the distance between the two stop levers in the axial vertical direction of the damper; the damper is of an
assembly type structure, is easy to install and maintain and has wide application prospects.
