Hysteresis is a nonlinear phenomenon arising in diverse fields such as mechanics, biology,
electronics, and economics (see “Summary”). In particular, hysteresis is ubiquitously …

Hysteresis nonlinearities are inherently exhibited in smart material based actuators. Many
hysteresis models have been proposed in the literature to describe such hysteresis …

Piezoelectric, magnetostrictive, and shape memory alloy actuators are gaining importance in
high-frequency precision applications constrained by space. Their intrinsic hysteretic …

We introduce a new class of time dependent hysteresis models by combining the time
dependent Prandtl–Ishlinskii model with functional nonlinearities. This combination …

Smart actuators such as piezoceramics, magnetostrictive and shape memory alloy actuators,
invariably, exhibit hysteresis, which has been associated with oscillations in the open-loop …

The hysteresis nonlinearity in piezoelectric materials brings difficulties in controlling the
systems. In order to mitigate the effect of hysteresis, such nonlinearity needs to be …

Apart from the output-input hysteresis loops, the magnetostrictive actuators also exhibit
asymmetry and saturation, particularly under moderate to large magnitude inputs and at …

Hysteresis hinders the effectiveness of smart materials in sensors and actuators. It is a
challenging task to control the systems with hysteresis. This note discusses the adaptive …

Smart actuators such as magneto-restrictive actuators, shape memory alloy (SMA) actuators,
and piezoceramic actuators exhibit different hysteresis loops. In this paper, a generalized …

The generalized Prandtl-Ishlinskii model and its inverse have been recently used in different
micro-positioning applications to model and to compensate for the symmetric and …
