A way of reasoning to reduce the response of a structural system under dynamic excitation is to think in terms of energy dissipation via plastic deformation devices. The concept of recoverable plastic deformation opens the way to the application of smart materials and, in particular, of shape memory alloys (SMAs). The characterization of the TiNi alloy structural component, with a complete definition of its mechanical properties and assembling features, is discussed.
