  2. Hysteresis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hysteresis

    The curves form a hysteresis loop. Hysteresis is the dependence of the state of a system on its history. For example, a magnet may have more than one possible magnetic moment in a given magnetic field, depending on how the field changed in the past. Plots of a single component of the moment often form a loop or hysteresis curve, where there are ...

  3. Hysteresivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hysteresivity

    Hysteresivity derives from “hysteresis”, meaning “lag”. It is the tendency to react slowly to an outside force, or to not return completely to its original state. Whereas the area within a hysteresis loop represents energy dissipated to heat and is an extensive quantity with units of energy, the hysteresivity represents the fraction of the elastic energy that is lost to heat, and is an ...

  4. Magnetic hysteresis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_hysteresis

    Magnetic hysteresis occurs when an external magnetic field is applied to a ferromagnet such as iron and the atomic dipoles align themselves with it. Even when the field is removed, part of the alignment will be retained: the material has become magnetized .

  6. Hysterical strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hysterical_strength

    The most common anecdotal examples based on hearsay are of parents lifting vehicles to rescue their children, and when people are in life-and-death situations. Periods of increased strength are short-lived, usually no longer than a few minutes, and might lead to muscle injuries and exhaustion later.

  7. Bouc–Wen model of hysteresis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouc–Wen_model_of_hysteresis

    In structural engineering, the Bouc–Wen model of hysteresis is a hysteretic model typically employed to describe non-linear hysteretic systems. It was introduced by Robert Bouc [1] [2] and extended by Yi-Kwei Wen, [3] who demonstrated its versatility by producing a variety of hysteretic patterns. This model is able to capture, in analytical ...

    From left to right shows images of increasing magnification where the scale bar in the first image is 50 μm and in the third is 200 nm. The first image shows the substrate, cantilever and the tip whereas the second image shows the tip geometry whilst the last image shows the tip apex and demonstrates the fine point that is achieved e.g. radius ...

  9. Antifreeze protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifreeze_protein

    Thermal hysteresis is easily measured in the lab with a nanolitre osmometer. Organisms differ in their values of thermal hysteresis. The maximum level of thermal hysteresis shown by fish AFP is approximately −3.5 °C (Sheikh Mahatabuddin et al., SciRep)(29.3 °F). In contrast, aquatic organisms are exposed only to −1 to −2 °C below freezing.
