As a new actuating material, magnetic controlled shape memory alloys (MSMAs) have excellent characteristics such as a large output strain, fast response, and high energy density. These excellent characteristics are very attractive for precision positioning systems. However, the availability of MSMAs in practical precision positioning is poor, caused by weak repeatability under a certain stimulu...

Polycrystalline MgO underlayer films lead to different preferred orientations of 10 CoPt and FePt films after the annealing process, depending on the thickness of 10 films. 10 films with a thickness greater than 20 nm revealed mostly 10 [100] fiber texture and consequently in-plane anisotropy as determined by magnetic hysteresis. Strong perpendicular anisotropy due to the 10 [001] fiber texture...

The paper presents a numerical method based on Preisach model for the characterization and modelling of hysteretic magnetic materials exhibiting vector hysteresis, with acceptable accuracy, based on minimal material measurement data. The identification approach based on the Everett distribution function is a way to obtain accurate numerical solutions when the experimental data of the magnetic m...

The structural response of a ferroelectric BaTiO3/dielectric CaTiO3 superlattice to the bipolar applied electric field was studied using time-resolved x-ray microdiffraction. Structural results were compared to the polarization-electric field hysteresis curve obtained from electrical measurements. The superlattice x-ray reflections were found to have a broad distribution of intensity in recipro...

the equilibrium moisture content is an important parameter for several post-harvesting operations for pistachio nuts, such as drying processes and storage. in this re-search the adsorption and desorption equilibrium moisture content were determined for two major varieties of iranian pistachios at 11 to 85 percent relative humidities and a con-stant temperature of 50°c. a significant hysteresis ...

It is shown that among the various damping mechanisms that are generally encountered in a mechanical structure, only the “viscous component” actually accounts for energy loss. The remaining portion of the damping force is due to non-linearities, which do not dissipate energy. Consequently, a linear model of a vibratory mechanical system involves only viscous damping, although the damping factor...

in this paper, we give some characterizations for legendre spherical, legendre normal and legendre rectifying curves in the 3-dimensional sasakian space. furthermore, we show that legendre spherical curves are also legendre normal curves. in particular, we prove that the inverse of curvature of a legendre rectifying curve is a non-constant linear function of the arclength parameter.
