Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to investigate the dynamic properties of new structures formed by combining carbon fiber and epoxy resin-based composite materials with SMA (shape memory alloy) "smart materials" in the form of NiTiNol wire. Such a combination will have an impact on the dynamics of the structure, especially in terms of stiffness controllability. Key mechanical parameters such as natural frequency and stiffness, as well as the effect of temperature, were determined through experimental studies.
