Neuro-fuzzy model of superelastic shape memory alloys with application to seismic engineering /

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) have recently attracted much attention as a smart material that can be used in passive protection systems such as energy dissipating devices and base isolation systems. For the purpose of investigating the potential use of SMAs in seismic engineering applications a soft co...
