In cuprates superconductors (as polycrystal and single crystal samples) unusual hysteretic temperature behavior of elastic properties is frequently observed. In this work from the uniform point of view detailed analysis this abnormal temperature behavior of elastic properties is given. It is shown that the hysteretic temperature dependencies of elastic properties of YBa2Cu3O7−δ crystal are stro...

the constitutive relationships of the rubber materials that act as the main spring of a hydraulic engine mount are nonlinear. in addition to material induced nonlinearity, further nonlinearities may be introduced by mount geometry, turbulent fluid behavior, temperature, boundary conditions, decoupler action, and hysteretic behavior. in this research all influence the behavior of the system only...

This study focuses on performance of H-shaped steel beams to CFT column rigid connections. To this end, the effects of internal and external stiffeners on hysteretic behavior of connections were studied. Comparative numerical analyses carried out on eight different connections. To this end finite element models were prepared using ANSYS and nonlinear cyclic analyses carried out. Results of this...

A self-excited system involving a van der Pol-type damping and a hysteretic damper representing restoring force is investigated in this paper. The influence of external force on the dynamic behavior of the hysteretic system is analyzed in detail. Numerical simulations show that, under an external force, the original hysteretic system can exhibit the so-called critical phenomena, where the hyste...

With the increasing popularity of actuators involving smart materials like piezoelectric, control of such materials becomes important. The existence of the inherent hysteretic behavior hinders the tracking accuracy of the actuators. To make matters worse, the hysteretic behavior changes with rate. One of the suggested ways is to have a feedforward controller to linearize the relationship betwee...

Hysteretic behavior is found experimentally in the transmembrane potential at low extracellular potassium in mouse lumbrical muscle cells. Adding isoprenaline to the external medium eliminates the bistable, hysteretic region. The system can be modeled mathematically and understood analytically with and without isoprenaline. Inward rectifying potassium channels appear to be essential for the bis...

Different expressions have been developed to determine damping of structures based on various hysteretic models and ductility levels. Since Slenderness ratio is an important parameter on the hysteretic behavior of special concentrically- braced frames (SCBF), in this paper new expressions for determination of damping of such frames are developed based on slenderness ratio and ductility. Two typ...

In contrast to nailed connections, little research has been done on bolted connections using a reversed cyclic loading scheme, although cyclic loading provides important information about energy absorption and damping properties, which is essential when analyzing seismic performance. Dowrick (1986) noted that the hysteretic characteristics for the primary connection of a subassembly govern its ...

hysteretic dampers as the most practical passive control methods have improved the seismic performance of steel structures through energy dissipation induced by large inelastic deformations. among them in this paper, kbf (knee braced frames), a special form of braced frames having a diagonal brace connected to a knee element instead of beam-column joint, is investigated. in such systems, the kn...
