  2. Hysteresis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hysteresis

    The curves form a hysteresis loop. Hysteresis is the dependence of the state of a system on its history. For example, a magnet may have more than one possible magnetic moment in a given magnetic field, depending on how the field changed in the past. Plots of a single component of the moment often form a loop or hysteresis curve, where there are ...

  3. Viscoelasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscoelasticity

    Hysteresis is observed in the stress–strain curve, with the area of the loop being equal to the energy lost during the loading cycle. Since viscosity is the resistance to thermally activated plastic deformation, a viscous material will lose energy through a loading cycle.

  4. Hysteresivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hysteresivity

    Hysteresivity derives from “hysteresis”, meaning “lag”. It is the tendency to react slowly to an outside force, or to not return completely to its original state. Whereas the area within a hysteresis loop represents energy dissipated to heat and is an extensive quantity with units of energy, the hysteresivity represents the fraction of the elastic energy that is lost to heat, and is an ...

  5. Bouc–Wen model of hysteresis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouc–Wen_model_of_hysteresis

    In structural engineering, the Bouc–Wen model of hysteresis is a hysteretic model typically employed to describe non-linear hysteretic systems. It was introduced by Robert Bouc [1] [2] and extended by Yi-Kwei Wen, [3] who demonstrated its versatility by producing a variety of hysteretic patterns. This model is able to capture, in analytical ...

  6. Stress relaxation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_relaxation

    Experimentally, stress relaxation is determined by step strain experiments, i.e. by applying a sudden one-time strain and measuring the build-up and subsequent relaxation of stress in the material (see figure), in either extensional or shear rheology. a) Applied step strain and b) induced stress as functions of time for a viscoelastic material.

  7. Time-dependent viscosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-dependent_viscosity

    Blue: With increasing shear rate the system is breaking down Green: With decreasing shear rate the system is building up. In continuum mechanics, time-dependent viscosity is a property of fluids whose viscosity changes as a function of time.

  8. Jiles–Atherton model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiles–Atherton_model

    This is one of the most popular models of magnetic hysteresis. Its main advantage is the fact that this model enables connection with physical parameters of the magnetic material. [2] Jiles–Atherton model enables calculation of minor and major hysteresis loops. [1] The original Jiles–Atherton model is suitable only for isotropic materials. [1]

  9. Capillary condensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capillary_condensation

    The resulting plot of adsorbed volume versus relative humidity yields a hysteresis "loop." [2] This loop is seen in all hysteresis governed processes and gives direct meaning the term "path dependent." The concept of hysteresis was explained indirectly in the curvature section of this article; however, here we are speaking in terms of a single ...
