The hysteresis effect, which is often seen in physical systems such as magnetic materials, mechanical systems, and electrical systems, does not have a single, universal formula. Instead, it can be described using various models depending on the context. Here are some common examples:
### 1. **Magnetic Hysteresis**
For magnetic materials, hysteresis is often described using the **Jiles-Atherton model**, which is a more complex and accurate representation. However, a simpler and more traditional way to describe magnetic hysteresis is using the **Preisach model** or by simply plotting the B-H loop (magnetic flux density vs. magnetic field strength) and observing the lag between the two curves.
### 2. **Mechanical Hysteresis**
In mechanical systems, such as materials experiencing cyclic loading, hysteresis can be described by **Bouc-Wen models** or **Kelvin-Voigt models**. A simplified representation can be:
\[ \sigma = E \cdot \epsilon \text{ for loading } \]
\[ \sigma = E \cdot \epsilon + H(\epsilon) \text{ for unloading,} \]
where \( \sigma \) is stress, \( \epsilon \) is strain, \( E \) is the elastic modulus, and \( H(\epsilon) \) represents the hysteresis loop shape, which can vary depending on the material and loading conditions.
### 3. **Electrical Hysteresis**
For electronic components such as capacitors and inductors with hysteresis, a common representation is the **relay model** or **Schmitt Trigger** behavior, which is used in digital circuits to handle noisy signals. The hysteresis effect can be visualized in a voltage versus current graph or in switching behaviors.
### 4. **General Hysteresis Modeling**
For a more general representation of hysteresis, especially in systems with rate-dependent behavior, you might use a **rate-independent Preisach model**. In this model, hysteresis is modeled as a distribution of elementary hysteresis operators (often modeled as simple relays or switches) that collectively produce the observed hysteresis effect.
### Practical Example: Magnetic Hysteresis Loop
In a magnetic hysteresis loop, you might plot the magnetic flux density (B) against the magnetic field strength (H). The shape of the loop indicates the material’s response to changes in the magnetic field, including residual magnetization and coercivity. The area inside the loop represents the energy lost due to hysteresis.
### Conclusion
In summary, the exact formula or model for hysteresis depends on the specific system and type of hysteresis you are dealing with. For detailed modeling and analysis, you'd typically need to refer to the specific models relevant to the field of study, such as the Jiles-Atherton model for magnetic hysteresis or the Bouc-Wen model for mechanical systems.
