Development and performance of filler-free buckling-restrained shape memory alloy devices for self-centering seismic applications

This study proposes a novel filler-free buckling-restrained SMA device for self-centering seismic applications. The proposed device consists of an SMA core bar, a confining tube, two swaged sleeves, two restraining sleeves, and two connection parts. The SMA bar includes a fuse pa...
