Due to the nature of domains, ferroics, including ferromagnetic, ferroelectric, and ferroelastic
materials, exhibit hysteresis phenomena with respect to external driving fields (magnetic …

As the amount of data has grown exponentially with the advent of artificial intelligence and
the Internet of Things, computing systems with high energy efficiency, high scalability, and …

This paper addresses the development of a unified framework for quantifying hysteresis and
constitutive nonlinearities inherent to ferroelectric, ferromagnetic and ferroelastic materials …

A model for the evolution of the mechanical and thermal properties of shape memory alloy
(SMA) films during elastocaloric cycling is developed and compared with experiments. The …

A number of shape memory alloys (SMAs), eg, NiTi, exhibit a rate-dependent stress–strain
behavior already at very low loading rates (10− 4 to 10− 2 s− 1), leading to a considerable …

A stochastic and rate-dependent response originating from thermal fluctuations over a highly
nonconvex energy landscape is a prevailing aspect of the mechanical behavior of …

We study the rate dependent response of a bistable chain subjected to thermal fluctuations.
The study is motivated by the fact that the behavior of this model system is prototypical to a …

Skeletal muscles can be injured by their own contractions. Such contraction-induced injury,
often accompanied by delayed onset of muscle soreness, is a leading cause of the loss of …

Ferroelectric materials, such as lead zirconate titanate, lanthanum-doped lead zirconate
titanate, and BaTiO3, are being considered, or are already being employed, for a large …

The one-dimensional free energy model for ferroelectric materials developed by Smith et
al.[Smith, RC, Seelecke, S., Ounaies, Z., 2002. A free energy model for piezoceramic …
