Abstract
The paper reports of an experimental and theoretical study of
vibrations control in a rotating pendulum with a TiNi elastic
element. The control was achieved by short periodic heat
impulses synchronised with the period of vibrations. In the
course of each impulse the alloy was transformed into
austenite and then back to martensite after heating had been
stopped. Depending on the time position of each impulse in
the reference to the period of vibrations there have been
obtained strong damping, sustained vibrations and growing
amplitude of oscillations. Theoretical simulation of these
phenomena has been grounded on a microstructural
approach. All observed regimes of vibrations control have
been obtained in modelling. Thus the model can correctly
describe all basic effects of deformation of TiNi and that
vibrations control is the direct sequence of these effects.
