An extensive growth in the application of ferromagnetic materials require a firm theoretical
understanding of the material behavior to accomplish accurate model prediction. The aim of …

This article proposes a multiple self-sensing gripper (MssGripper) driven by the shape
memory alloy (SMA) and empowered by machine learning algorithms. The MssGripper can …

An enhanced hysteretic force response sensitivity approach is proposed to identify the Iwan
model of a bolted joint under the quasi-static cyclic loading. The parameters identification is …

The Preisach model is a well-known model of hysteresis in the modern nonlinear science.
This paper provides an overview of works that are focusing on the study of dynamical …

In this paper the seismic response of linear behaving structures resting on compliant soil is
addressed through the application of the Preisach formalism to capture the soil …
