Piezoelectric (PZT) actuators have been widely used in precision positioning fields for their excellent displacement resolution. However, due to the inherent characteristics of piezoelectric actuators, hysteresis has been proven to greatly reduce positioning performance. In this paper, five mathematical hysteretic models based on activation function are proposed to characterize the nonlinear hysteresis characteristics of piezoelectric actuators. Then the performance of the proposed models is verified by particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm and the experiment data. Thirdly, the fitting performance of the proposed models is compared with the classical Bouc-Wen model. Finally, the performance of the five proposed models in modelling hysteresis nonlinearity of piezoelectric drivers is compared, in terms of RMSE, MAPE, SAPE and operation efficiency, and relevant suggestions are given.

This paper proposes a compensating algorithm for the secondary current of the measurement current transformer (CT) that removes the effects of the hysteresis characteristics of the iron-core. The exciting current resulting from the hysteresis characteristics of the core causes an error between the primary current and the secondary current of the measurement CT. The exciting current can be decomposed into the magnetizing current and the core loss current. The core loss current is obtained from the measured secondary current and the core loss resistance. The core flux linkage is calculated by integrating the measured secondary current, and then inserted into the flux-magnetizing current curve to obtain the magnetizing current. The exciting current at every sampling interval is obtained by summing the core-loss and magnetizing currents and then added to the measured current to obtain the correct current. The performance of the proposed algorithm is validated under various conditions using EMTP generated data. The results indicate that the proposed algorithm can improve the accuracy of the measurement CT significantly, and thus reduce the size and the cost of the measurement CT.

Suspensions of railway vehicle have played a major role to improve ride quality and safety of the vehicle. So it is important to use appropriate suspension elements which affect dynamic characteristics of the vehicle. Primary and secondary suspensions which include rubber element have the characteristics of hysteresis. To model the hysteresis spring in detail, it is necessary to use user subroutine with $VAMPIRE^{(R)}$ Pro. In this paper, Sway and dynamic characteristics of vehicle according to the hysteresis of suspensions were studied.

The inelastic response characteristics of the standard school buildings depending on selection of hysteresis models and variable earthquakes are studied. Three earthquake records of El-centro, Santa-Monica, Taft in accordance with KBC2009 standard and four inelastic hysteresis models such as Degrading tri-linear model, Clough model, Takeda model, and Modified Takeda model are used. The inelastic response characteristics such as story shear force, story drift ratio, story displacement are reviewed. As results, El-centro earthquake shows large response in transverse direction and Santa Monica earthquake shows larger response in longitudinal direction on the contrary. Taft earthquake shows less variation of story drift ratio and story displacement for all hysteresis models and stable response.

A finite element method for the analysis of magnetic fields with hysteresis characteristics is proposed. The method employs Preisach model to describe hysteresis of magnetic material, so that even multi-branch or minor-loop characteristics can be taken into account. The problem can be considered as the analysis of a nonlinear equation where magnetization depends not only on the present value of the magnetic field but also on the past values, and the problem can be solved by the iteration method. Measurements were carried out on soft ferrite EI core for the comparison with computer solution, and good agreements were obtained. is investigated. A theoretical approach to gait study is proposed in which the static stability margins for periodic gaits are expressed in terms of the kinematic gait formula. The effects fo the stride length on static stability are analyzed and the relations between static stability and initial body configurations are examined. It is shown that the moving velocity can be increased to some extent without affecting stability margins for a given initial body configuration. Computer simulations are performed to verify the analysis.

In this paper transparent PLZT ceramics for the composition of 9/65/35 (La/Zr/Ti ) are fabricated using hotpress and the possibility of application to optical shutter is examined by obtaining the On-Off characteristics of specimens. The ferroelectric E-P hysteresis loop exhibits slim loop suitable for the quadratic electrooptic effect. Measurements of the electrooptic effect show that specimens have the quadratic electrooptic effect but the light intensities as functions of electric field exhibit butterfly type hysteresis curves because of its slightly large saturation remanent polarization and coercive field. On-Off characteristics are obtained by electric fields of-6 kv/cm and +2kv/cm. As a result of experiments, 9/65/35 PLZT ceramics can be applied to optical shutter but construction with other composition which has more slim hysteresis loop is desired for obtaining the Off state by zero electric field.

In general, the laminated rubber bearing (LRB), a composite structure laminated with the elastic rubber and steel plates, has a complex hysteretic nonlinear characteristics in relationships between the restoring force and shear deflection. The representative nonlinear characteristics of LRB include the change of hysteresis loop with cyclic shear deflections and the hardening effects at large shear deflection regions. Changes of the hysteresis loop of LRB with cyclic shear deflections affect the horizontal stiffness and the damping characteristics. The hardening behavior of LRB in large shear deflection region results in an increased horizontal stiffness and therefore, has a great impacton the seismic responses. In this paper, the seismic response analysis is carried out using the modified hysteretic bi-linear model of LRB, which takes into account the hysteresis loop change and the hardening behavior with cyclic shear deflection. The results on seismic responses are compared with those obtained using the widely used hysteretic hi-linear model. The new model is found to reveal the greater amount of peak acceleration response.

In this paper, the hysteresis characteristics by bias stress in organic thin film transistors using inkjet printing were investigated. Electron trapping increased threshold voltage for positive gate bias stress and hole trapping decreased threshold voltage for negative gate bias stress. From these phenomena, highly reproducible measurement method which minimized threshold voltage shift by choosing the proper range of gate voltage was suggested. Using this measurement method, we found that electron trapping as well as hole trapping had important influence on hysteresis characteristics.

I-V, C-V characteristics of inverted staggered type hydrogenerated amorphous silicon thin film transistor(a-Si:H TFT) was studied and experimentally verified. The results show that the log-log plot of drain current increased by voltage increase. The saturated drain current of DC output characteristics increased at a fixed gate voltage. According to the increase of gate voltage, activation energy of electron and the increasing width of Id at high voltage were decreased. Id saturation current saturated at high Vd over 4.5V, Vg-ld hysteresis characteristic curves occurred between -15V and 15V of Vg. Hysteresis current decreased at low voltage of -15V and increased at high voltage of 15V.

This paper describes the finite element procedure including the magnetic hysteresis phenomena. The magnetization-dependent Preisach model is employed to simulate the magnetic hysteresis and applied to each elements. Magnetization is calculated by the Fibonacci search method for the applied field in the implementation of the magnetization-dependent model. This can calculate the magnetization very accurately with small iteration numbers. The magnetic field intensity and the magnetization corresponding to the magnetic flux density obtained by the finite element analysis(FEA) are computed at the same time under the condition that these balues must satisfy the constitutive equation. In order to reduce the total calculation cost, pseudo-permeability is used for the input for the FEA. It is found that the presented method is very useful in combining the hysteresis model with the finite element method.
