The presence of chaotic transients in a nonlinear dynamo is investigated through numerical simulations the 3D magnetohydrodynamic equations. By using kinetic helicity flow as control parameter, hysteretic blowout bifurcation conjectured to be responsible for transition dynamo, leading sudden increase magnetic energy attractor. This high-energy hydromagnetic attractor suddenly destroyed boundary...

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...

A three-dimensional thermodynamic setting for the modelling of elastic-plastic materials is established. The second law thermodynamics assumed in Clausius-Duhem form with entropy production being given by a constitutive function. An incremental stress strain relation derived. In essence free energy found to describe elastic behaviour while hysteretic properties are joint consequence and energy.

this paper describes experimental and numerical investigations on two specimens of frames composed of steel reinforced concrete beam and angle-steel concrete column under horizontal low cyclic loading. based on the test results, the relationship curves of the horizontal load-displacement and the failure modes are acquired. meanwhile the hysteretic behaviors, skeleton curves, stiffness degradati...
