In this study, a characterization of hysteresis in a piezoceramic stack actuator similar to those employed in an actively controlled flap (ACF) system is performed to assess the effects of hysteresis on system performance. The effect of unmodeled actuation hysteresis may significantly reduce vibration and noise reduction capabilities. A hysteresis model based on the classical Preisach model has...

In this article, a mathematical model and its parameter identification scheme are proposed for harmonic drive gears with compliance and hysteresis. The hysteresis phenomenon in harmonic drives is described by a nonlinear differential equation representing the torque–displacement relationship across the flexpline of the harmonic drive. The representation is equivalent to having the combination o...

Conventional wisdom says that it takes ever increasing marketing budgets and/or lower prices to create sustained growth in sales, which may or may not be profitable in the long run. However, some documented cases and conceptual evidence suggest that marketing spending or prices can exhibit hysteresis in market response, a condition where temporary changes in the marketing mix are associated wit...

Preisach model is a well-known hysteresis identification method in which the hysteresis is modeled by linear combination of hysteresis operators. Although Preisach model describes the main features of system with hysteresis behavior, due to its rigorous numerical nature, it is not convenient to use in real-time control applications. Here a novel neural network approach based on the Preisach mod...

In this paper, an ellipse-based mathematic model is developed to characterize the rate-dependent hysteresis in piezoelectric actuators. Based on the proposed model, an expanded input space is constructed to describe the multivalued hysteresis function H[u](t) by a multiple input single output (MISO) mapping Gamma:R(2)-->R. Subsequently, the inverse MISO mapping Gamma(-1)(H[u](t),H[u](t);u(t)) i...

This paper summarizes work undertaken in the area of modeling Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) and airfoil hysteresis using a Sugeno-type fuzzy modeling approach based on subtractive clustering. Two alternative approaches to develop a fuzzy model for hysteresis are proposed and evaluated. The first consists in building a mirror image of the lower curve in order to model both curves concurrently and the...
