In electromechanical brakes, central controllers require accurate information about the clamp force between brake pad and disc as a function of pad displacement. This function is usually denoted as characteristic curve of the caliper. In a typical electromechanical braking system, clamp force measurements vary with actuator displacements in a hysteretic manner. Due to ageing, temperature and ot...

The effect of a fabric softener treatment on the properties crossing torque–intersecting angle behavior yarns and transverse compression single yarns, which are related to shear fabric, is investigated. torque required change intersecting between two hysteresis in curve (i.e., hysteresis), cotton after water with without were measured. To measure those properties, drying condition was varied co...

Hysteresis loops constitute the source of important information for designers magnetic circuits in power transformers. The paper focused on possibility to interpret phenomenological T(x) model terms effective field vs. magnetization dependence. interdependence anhysteretic curve and hysteresis was emphasized. concept plane introduced at end last century by Sablik Langman subject a tangible inte...

During orthostatic stress, arterial and cardiopulmonary baroreflexes play a key role in maintaining arterial pressure by regulating heart rate. This study presents a mathematical model that can predict the dynamics of heart rate regulation in response to postural change from sitting to standing. The model uses blood pressure measured in the finger as an input to model heart rate dynamics in res...

Piezoelectric ceramic actuators have been widely used in nanopositioning applications owing to their fast response, high stiffness, and ability to generate large forces. However, the existence of nonlinearities such as hysteresis can greatly deteriorate the accuracy of the manipulation, even causing instability of the whole system. In this article, we have explained the causes of hysteresis bas...

Silicon carbide (SiC) is an important orthopedic material due to its inert nature and superior mechanical and tribological properties. Some of the potential applications of silicon carbide include coating for stents to enhance hemocompatibility, coating for prosthetic-bearing surfaces and uncemented joint prosthetics. This study is the first to explore nanomechanical response of single crystal ...

We report on the magnetic-field-induced variations of the microwave surface resistance, Rs, in a polycrystalline MgB2 sample, at different values of temperature. We have detected a magnetic hysteresis in Rs, which exhibits an unexpected plateau on decreasing the DC magnetic field below a certain value. In particular, at temperatures near Tc the hysteresis manifests itself only through the prese...

fe49co33ni18 nanowire arrays (175 nm in diameter and lengths ranging from 5 to 32μm) were fabricated into nanopores of hard-anodized aluminum oxide templates using pulsed ac electrodeposition technique. hysteresis loop measurements indicated that increasing the length decreases coercivity and squareness values (from 274 oe and 0.58 to200 oe and 0.105, respectively), indicating the increase in m...
