Abstract
The future development of smart materials in the areas, such as self-tuning vibrating energy harvesting devices, self-sustainable networks, and earthquake protection devices, is of significant importance. With the great potential to develop smart structures, smart material includes shape memory alloy, piezoelectric, magnetorheological (MR) and electrorheological (ER) materials, which possess stimulus responses. Accordingly, smart materials can be regarded as promising candidates for adaptive device development for structural vibration mitigation application. In this chapter, the smart material classification and potential applications are reviewed first. Then, a case study is conducted to comprehensively illustrate application of MR material-based semi-active control device in structural seismic protection. Finally, the challenges and future work on this topic are briefly analysed and discussed.
