ABSTRACT

The class of models presented here, targeting the modelling of hysteresis processes in the magnetic and elastic properties of ferromagnetic composites, is based on the Preisach formalism. The 1D and 2D formulations are equipped with a set of five different local hysteresis operators, to address different hysteretic responses. The resulting algorithms are efficient enough to be used as core models in simulations or real-time control. The types of hysteretic responses discussed and modeled include the magnetization vs. magnetic field response, M(H), the deformation vs. temperature response, x(T), and the deformation vs. field response, l(H), also known as magnetostriction.
