“…Modeling hysteresis (e.g., [4,15,29,39,40,46]) is inherently challenging; however, it is necessary in that it has broad utility in many engineering disciplines, including smart structures, robotics, mechatronics, structural control, structural health monitoring, damage detection, and earthquake engineering. Rapid advances in sensor technology are providing researchers in different fields of science and engineering with valuable data collected from real-world measurements.…”
