Carbon/molecule/metal molecular junctions were fabricated by metal deposition of titanium or copper on monolayers of nitroazobenzene ~NAB!, biphenyl, and nitrobiphenyl ~NBP!, and multilayers of NAB and NBP covalently bonded to an sp2 carbon substrate. The electronic behavior of Ti junctions was extremely dependent on residual gas pressure during E-beam deposition, due to the formation of a diso...

Hysteresis motors are self starting brushless synchronous motors which are being used widely due to their interesting features. Accurate modeling of the motors is crucial to successful investigating the dynamic performance of them. The hysteresis loops of the material used in the rotor and their influences on the parameters of the equivalent circuit are necessary to be taken into considerat...

the behavior of suspended sediment during flood events is not only a function of energy conditions, i.e. sediment is stored at low flow and transported under high flow conditions, but also is related to the variations in sediment supply and sediment depletion. these changes in sediment availability result in so-called hysteresis effects. therefore, hysteresis pattern analysis is of great import...

Hysteresis loops are phenomena that sometimes are encountered in the analysis of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic relationships spanning from pre-clinical to clinical studies. When hysteresis occurs it provides insight into the complexity of drug action and disposition that can be encountered. Hysteresis loops suggest that the relationship between drug concentration and the effect being meas...

The damage evolution and life prediction of cross-ply C/SiC ceramic-matrix composite (CMC) under cyclic-fatigue loading at room temperature and 800 °C in air have been investigated using damage parameters derived from fatigue hysteresis loops, i.e., fatigue hysteresis modulus and fatigue hysteresis loss energy. The experimental fatigue hysteresis modulus and fatigue hysteresis loss energy degra...

This paper presents 2D and 3D modeling of hysteresis motor using high temperature superconducting element Yttrium Barium Copper Oxide (YBCO) in the rotor. These hysteresis motors aim to improve the performance in comparison with that of conventional hysteresis motors. Various performance parameters of high temperature superconducting hysteresis motor are computed from the proposed 2D and 3D mod...

In this paper, a neural network based adaptive sliding mode control scheme for hysteretic systems is proposed. In this control scheme, a neural network model is utilized to describe the characteristic of hysteresis. Then, the adaptive neural sliding mode controller based on the proposed neural model is presented for a class of single-input nonlinear systems with unknown hysteresis. For the case...

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 many scientific and medical applications wavefront-sensorless adaptive optics (AO) systems are used to correct the wavefront aberration by optimizing a certain target parameter, which is nonlinear with respect to the control signal to the deformable mirror (DM). Hysteresis is the most common nonlinearity of DMs, which can be corrected if the information about the hysteresis behavior is prese...
