Abstract:A load-dependent hysteresis model for magnetostrictive materials is studied. Magnetostrictive materials are a class of smart materials which react with a magnetic field and are suitable for many micro-positioning actuation tasks. Unfortunately, these materials are difficult to use because of their highly nonlinear and hysteretic response. Unlike the hysteresis seen in magnetic materials, the shape of the hysteresis curve changes significantly if the load is changed. Because of this complex hysteresis, magnetos… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
