About the Book

Structural Damping and Seismic Engineering Using Iron-based Shape Memory Alloys introduces the fundamental properties and practical applications of iron-based shape memory alloys (Fe-SMAs) from the perspective of seismic engineering. It objectively discusses the superiority of this novel class of materials that could potentially address the limitations of the existing seismic control technology. The results, vividly presented as tables and figures, are demonstrated with religious experimental verifications supplemented by comprehensive numerical investigations. From the knowledge provided, the readers will gain an in-depth understanding of the working mechanisms of various Fe-SMA-based structural devices and members, including braces, dampers, steel connections, base isolators, and concrete components, and as a result they will be provided with a broader vision of next-generation performance-based seismic design for novel adaptive structural systems. The book aims to help bridge the gap between materials science and structural engineering fronts, and to shed light on the opportunity of commercializing Fe-SMA products in construction industry. The cutting-edge research introduced in this book will also provide technical incentives to encourage design professionals, contractors, and building officials to use high performance and smart materials in structural design, allowing them to remain at the forefront of construction technology.

Table of Contents:

Fe-SMA buckling-restrained braces 7. Structural systems with Fe-SMA dampers 8. Excuses after of geotechnical failures 9. Interpretation of geotechnical reports 10. Interpretation without a conclusion

About the Author :
The author received his BEng in Civil Engineering from Tongji University in 2007, and subsequently obtained his MSc and PhD from Imperial College London in 2008 and 2011, respectively. Prior to joining Tongji University in 2015, he worked as a structural engineer in ARUP, a Post-doctoral Fellow at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and an Assistant Professor at Newcastle University, UK. Professor Cheng Fang has dedicated over 10 years of his research career to providing technical incentives to encourage design professionals, contractors, and building officials to use novel materials, members, and systems in seismic resilient structural design, helping them stay at the forefront of construction technology. His current research interests include steel and composite structures, smart materials (especially shape memory alloys) and structures, and seismic resilience. He has authored 5 books, published 85 refereed articles in leading SCI-indexed journals with 3000 citations, and secured more than 20 research projects as Principle Investigator (PI). He has obtained 8 authorised patents, and has served as committee member of three design standards. He is now an editorial board member of 7 SCI-indexed journals, and has contributed as reviewer for 30+ international journals. He has promoted the first application of shape memory alloys in building and bridge structures in China. He is ranked Top 1 scholar in terms of impact under the category of “Topic T.17429: Shape memory effect; Seismology; Superelastic shape”, according to SciVal (Scopus). He has been included in the list of “World’s Top 2% scientists” from 2020 to 2022
