Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a load dissipating and limiting device for protecting, recovering and making civil and industrial works, having a high strength against undesired static, seismic, aeolian and dynamic effects.
  • the aim of the present invention is to overcome the above mentioned drawbacks, by providing a load dissipating and limiting device, providing an improved stability and increased damping of the vibrations, as well as the possibility of connecting two or more constructional or structural elements which could be subjected to mutual displacements, in order to dampen and limit said possible displacements.
  • a main object of the present invention is to provide a damping technique which can be easily applied owing to the use of very compact and/or easily concealable devices, thereby overcoming any architectural limitation imposed by the designer.
  • a further object is to provide a damping material having a very good resistance against to the atmospheric agents.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide such a device allowing to limit the loading applied to the end portions thereof, as a strain or deformation is imposed and which, moreover, is specifically designed for limiting a displacing exceeding a maximum designed value, with the additional possibility of self-orienting according to a direction required by the structure or construction, by means of anchoring articulated connections and/or by exploiting its flexibility or elastic properties.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide such a dissipating device which is very stable in operation also under temperature variations and as the load application frequency is changed.
  • a load dissipating and limiting device for protecting, recovering or making civil and industrial works, having a high strength against undesired static effects, seismic effects, aeolian and dynamic effects in general, characterized in that said device comprises a plurality of shape memory alloy wires operating based on a super-elastic effect and being provided with end portions interconnected to connecting elements for coupling to a construction to be protected.
  • the load dissipating and limiting device for protecting, recovering and making civil and industrial works, having a high strength or resistance against undesired effects such as static effects, seismic effects, aeolian effects and dynamic effects in general, according to the present invention, which has been generally indicated in Figure 1 by the reference number 1, comprises a plurality of wires 2 made of a shape memory alloy (S.M.A.), exploiting the super-elastic effect, which are arranged in an adjoining mutual relationship, thereby the individual wires will operate in parallel to provide the designed reaction, the length of said wires being set depending on the designed displacement
  • S.M.A. shape memory alloy
  • said wires 2 are coupled to locking elements, generally indicated by the reference number 3, which are coupled to articulated coupling elements or connecting elements 4, in order to apply them to the structures to be protected, possibly under a stretched condition.
  • the locking elements comprise a conic locking wedge 10, which is engaged in a sleeve 11 having an inner conic surface, and therebetween the end portions of said wires 2 are arranged; the wedge and sleeve or jacket are made of a material having a surface hardness less than that of said wires, thereby the inner conic wedge, having a less hardness, is forcibly engaged in its seat thereby locking said wires.
  • a glass element 12 is moreover provided for holding therein said sleeve or jacket and wedge, said element 12 being coupled to the connecting or coupling elements which, for example, can comprise a latching stem.
  • the wires 2 are introduced into a liquid, a fat material or gel material, having high thermally conductive characteristics and, in particular, having a thermal transmission equal to or better than that of ethylenglycol.
  • a liquid or fluid holding bellows 20 for holding therein a liquid or fluid 21 is provided.
  • the operation or performance of the device will depend on the thermomechanical characteristics of the shape memory alloy as used and installed under a wire form.
  • Figure 2 illustrates a graphic diagram related to the mechanical characteristics of the used wires and clearly illustrating the obtained super-elastic effect by subjecting to an axial deformation or strain a wire sample.
  • This deformation or strain range ⁇ A - ⁇ M in which the phase transformation occurs, can be used for the intended purposes.
  • the cycle of Figure 2 shows the energy dissipated for unit of volume by the used material, and can be easily transformed into the characteristic curve of the full limiting device, if the number, diameter and length of the used wires are known, as clearly shown in Figure 3.
  • the subject device will be conventionally designed to operate in a displacement range S A ⁇ S M , at a force level within the range of F 1 ⁇ F 2 .
  • the device can be pre-stretched to a designing force level by applying a displacement S* corresponding to a preset strain or deformation ⁇ * in the range ⁇ A ⁇ ⁇ M .
  • the stress corresponding to the deformation or strain ⁇ Y much greater than the austenite-martensite transformation stress, will provide a safety factor, of a comparatively very high value, both on the yielding and on the breaking point.
  • the progressive stiffening effect corresponding to strains greater than ⁇ M , can be used for limiting the displacement of the structure the dissipating device is applied to, thereby preventing any undesired deformations of the structures from occurring.
  • a further SMA super-elastic wire arrangement can provide a characteristic curve of the subject device among them shown in Figure 5 ( Figures 5a, 5b and 5c).
  • the wire which are pre-stretched to a strain or deformation level of ⁇ *, with 0 ⁇ * ⁇ M , for any mutual displacement imposed to the anchoring ends thereof, will be always strained under a pulling force and will react according to the characteristic curve already shown in Figure 2.
  • the assembling of the spools, the axial distance of which will be advantageously equal or less than that of the respective pin elements, on said pin elements, can be carried out exclusively by stretching the wires and, accordingly, by deforming them to increase their axial distance to the distance existing between the pin elements.
  • the pin-spool system can also comprise a single monolithic element, in order to allow a simple assembling to be easily performed.
  • the anchoring hardware ( Figure 6 - elements of the type 4 and 5) must be suitably perforated, by elongated holes, to provide both an abutment of a pin element and an entraining displacement as imposed by the other pin.
  • This system can provide, for operating at a frequency greater than 1 Hz, to immerge the wires in a suitable medium ( Figure 6 - element of type 6).
  • anchoring of the wires shown in Figure 6 can be replaced by the other above disclosed type using the wedge locking system.
  • the details of the system for anchoring the device to the structure can be designed depending on the contingent requirements, to better fit the considered type of construction.
  • the main feature of the latter system is that, differently from the first, it would not require to be prestretched on the field or as it is applied to the structure, since the wires are actually prestretched during the assembling thereof.
  • the device will provide a reaction exclusively as a mutual displacement occurs.
