  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. 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 ...

  4. Alternative stable state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_stable_state

    Hysteresis is an important concept in alternative stable state theory. In this ecological context, hysteresis refers to the existence of different stable states under the same variables or parameters. Hysteresis can be explained by "path-dependency", in which the equilibrium point for the trajectory of "A → B" is different from for "B → A ...

  5. Remanence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remanence

    The default definition of magnetic remanence is the magnetization remaining in zero field after a large magnetic field is applied (enough to achieve saturation). [1] The effect of a magnetic hysteresis loop is measured using instruments such as a vibrating sample magnetometer ; and the zero-field intercept is a measure of the remanence.

  6. Jiles–Atherton model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiles–Atherton_model

    In electromagnetism and materials science, the Jiles–Atherton model of magnetic hysteresis was introduced in 1984 by David Jiles and D. L. Atherton. [1] 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]

  7. Coercivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coercivity

    Typically the coercivity of a magnetic material is determined by measurement of the magnetic hysteresis loop, also called the magnetization curve, as illustrated in the figure above. The apparatus used to acquire the data is typically a vibrating-sample or alternating-gradient magnetometer. The applied field where the data line crosses zero is ...

  8. Viscoelasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscoelasticity

    In materials science and continuum mechanics, viscoelasticity is the property of materials that exhibit both viscous and elastic characteristics when undergoing deformation. Viscous materials, like water, resist both shear flow and strain linearly with time when a stress is applied. Elastic materials strain when stretched and immediately return ...

  9. 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 ...
