The dependence of the properties of elastic sensitive elements made of beryllium bronze on the modes of their heat treatment is studied. It is shown that the duration of aging significantly affects the value of nonlinearity of elastic characteristic, hysteresis, shrinkage of elements and mechanical properties of membrane material (hardness, elastic limit). The relations between submicroscopic structure and properties of elastic elements are established. The greatest nonlinearity of the elastic characteristic, hysteresis and shrinkage belong to elements subjected to short-term aging at 310–350 °С. With increasing duration of aging, the corresponding values of the above parameters decrease. For aging temperatures 310–320 °С, the nonlinearity of elasticity characteristics reaches the minimum values after 4–5 h of aging, and for 340 °С — after 3 h. At 350 °С minimum values of nonlinearity are reached after aging duration of 45–60 min. From the obtained data it follows that from the point of view of obtaining the minimum hysteresis and nonlinearity characteristics of aneroid sensing elements made of bronze of БрБНТ-1,9Мг (BrBNT-1.9Mg) grade, heat treatment of membranes should be carried out according to the regimes of 1 h at 350 °С or 3 h at 340 °С.

Immediate traffic flow monitoring and management based on multimodal data in cloud computing

This study uses cloud computing platform to process multi-modal data, and constructs a traffic flow prediction model based on LSTM neural network by integrating data from multiple dimensions such as traffic flow, occupancy and speed. In the process of model construction, we fully consider the hourly characteristics and hysteresis characteristics, and carry out fine scaling and splitting of the data to improve the accuracy and generalization ability of the model. The experimental results show that our model outperforms the baseline on both the training set and the test set, which verifies its effectiveness in traffic flow prediction. By keeping our models in a cloud environment, we provide reliable tools and support for future real-time data analysis and traffic management decisions. This study provides an important reference for the development of traffic management system based on cloud computing, and also provides new ideas and methods for other fields to solve practical problems by using multi-modal data.

Origin identification and accuracy control of electrode interface-related asymmetrical hysteresis in light-controlled resistive switching of single CH3NH3PbI3 micro/nanowire

Remarkable photoresponse and resistive switching (RS) performance of CH3NH3PbI3 has garnered significant attention. However, precise control over the emergence and polarity of hysteresis loops in bipolar RS remains challenging. Herein, we constructed an individual CH3NH3PbI3 micro/nanowire device configured with two symmetrical Ag electrodes and asymmetrically modulated their electrode interface states by encapsulating only one electrode. We propose an electrode interface-related RS mechanism to modulate the hysteresis features and achieve different types of high-performance light-controlled RS. In an unpacked electrode interface, large potential induces oxidation of Ag to AgI with high resistivity under light and trace moisture, resulting in a high-resistance state. On the other hand, in a packed electrode interface, large potential triggers hole injection into interface traps with the assistance of light, resulting in a low-resistance state. Additionally, reversible Ag/AgI oxidation/reduction-related negative RS and hole injection/ejection-associated positive RS lead to bipolar RS, accompanied by clockwise and counterclockwise hysteresis loops in two directions. Furthermore, performance is entirely determined by illumination intensity and bias amplitude, achieving photomemory. This work unveils the influence of moisture and illumination on electrode interface and the actual origin of hysteresis, while also precisely controlling photomemory performance. Therefore, it provides a specific strategy for designing high-performance light-controlled RS with nonvolatile photomemory.

Temperature dependent interfacial-coupling and magnetization reversal of La2/3Sr1/3MnO3 film with inverted hysteresis features

Temperature-dependent magnetic anisotropy and interfacial coupling of La2/3Sr1/3MnO3 (LSMO) epitaxial films with inverted hysteresis (IHLs) features are investigated using a broadband ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) spectrometer. Through the dispersion relation obtained along [100], [110] and [010] axes, a simplified method is proposed to investigation in-plane magnetic anisotropy by broadband FMR in a cryostat. According to this method, the perpendicular uniaxial anisotropy, magneto-crystalline anisotropy, and interfacial coupling between the LSMO film and hard-magnetic interface layer are investigated as a whole. The measured value of interfacial coupling is −17.6 Oe at 300 K, close to the bias field found in minor loop, i.e., −18.4 Oe. The interfacial coupling is enhanced with the dropping of temperatures, and the value of interfacial coupling changed to −112 Oe at 10 K. A Stoner-Wohlfarth-like model is employed to calculate the hysteresis loops of the films based on the measured values of in-plane magnetic anisotropy and interfacial-coupling. The calculation reveals the mechanism of magnetization reversal and the origin of IHLs found in LSMO films.

A heavy-haul train longitudinal-vertical coupled dynamics model and its dynamic behaviour under emergency braking

The heavy-haul train dynamic performance under emergency braking is complex and directly affects the reliability and running safety. To reveal the heavy-haul train dynamic behaviour in emergency braking process on the long downhill segments, a comprehensive heavy-haul train longitudinal-vertical coupled dynamics model (HTLVDM) that considers the air braking system and coupler draft gear system is established in this paper. HTLVDM considers the components of the locomotive and wagon, such as the wheelset, bogie frame, and car body. The coupler force model considers the nonlinear hysteresis characteristic of the coupler draft gear system. The braking delay time and pressure variation of the brake cylinders are taken into the air braking model. In addition, the validity of HTLVDM is verified by published data. Based on the real-world data of the Shuozhou-Huanghua Line and the established model, the HTLVDM's dynamic responses are analysed through numerical simulations. The results indicate that both the brake forces and coupler forces have a significant effect on the wheel-rail dynamic interactions and the dynamic response of the car body in the heavy-haul train.

Compensation temperature and hysteresis behaviors of the ferrimagnetic bilayer zigzag graphyne nanoribbon with RKKY interaction

In this study, a bilayer zigzag graphyne nanoribbon with RKKY interaction is described using a ferrimagnetic mixed-spin (2, 5/2) Ising model. The compensation behaviors and hysteresis characteristics of the system generated by various physical parameters, such as crystal fields of sublattices, interlayer exchange coupling and the intralayer exchange coupling are explored using Monte Carlo simulation. In the research results, we found that among the 30 possible spin configurations that may occur in the ground state of the system, only 21 spin configurations are stable. At the same time, under certain parameters, the system exhibit interesting behaviors such as compensation phenomena and multi-loop hysteresis. This can provide a theoretical reference for multi-state magnetic recording.

Seismic Performance of Full-Scale Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Panel-Assembled Walls: Experimental Study and Numerical Modeling

Prefabricated panel-assembled wall systems, comprising a confining frame and infill lightweight panels of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC), are widely employed in framed structures. Different from studies on a main frame with infill walls, this study aimed to explore the seismic performance of partition walls, which were fabricated with AAC panel-assembled walls and located outside of the main frames. Two full-scale specimens, one with a door opening and the other without, were constructed and cyclic loading tests were executed to examine the failure modes, hysteresis characteristics, envelope curves, ductility, strength and stiffness degradation, as well as energy dissipation capacity of the AAC panel-assembled walls. Additionally, a restoring-force model for the panel-assembled walls was developed and a method for predicting the lateral load-bearing capacity of the AAC panel-assembled walls was proposed. The findings indicated that the panels enhanced the system’s lateral resistance, energy dissipation capacity, and deformation capability. The door frame increased the initial stiffness, peak lateral load and energy dissipation capacity of the AAC panel-assembled wall compared to the wall without a door frame. Compared to the specimen without a door frame, the peak lateral load of the specimen with a door frame increased by 19.7–30.1%. The deformation capacity of the panel-assembled walls aligned with the requirements for concrete framed structures.

Development of a Prandtl-Ishlinskii hysteresis model for a large capacity magnetorheological fluid damper

Magnetorheological (MR) fluid (MRF) dampers, serving as fail-safe semi-active devices, exhibit nonlinear hysteresis characteristics, emphasizing the necessity for accurate modeling to formulate effective control strategies in smart systems. This paper introduces a novel stop operator-based Prandtl-Ishlinskii (PI) model, featuring a reduced parameter set (seven), designed to estimate the nonlinear hysteresis properties of a large-scale bypass MRF damper with variable stiffness capabilities under varying applied current. With only seven parameters, the model realizes current, displacement, and rate dependencies. The force-displacement and force-velocity responses of the designed MRF damper were experimentally characterized under broad ranges of applied current (0–2 A), excitation frequency (0.5–4 Hz), and displacement amplitude (1–2.5 mm). A training dataset was subsequently used to develop a novel field-dependent modified PI model, incorporating multiple hysteresis operators with and without a friction element. The proposed model accurately predicted the MRF damper behavior within the training dataset, and its validity was assessed against data from diverse experimental conditions. The PI model with friction element generally outperformed the model without friction when frequency exceeds 0.5 Hz, demonstrating its ability to characterize nonlinear hysteresis force-displacement and force-velocity properties of the MRF damper under the ranges of applied current and excitations considered with reasonable accuracy. Experimental data were also estimated by the Bouc–Wen model, and compared with those obtained via the formulated PI model, affirming the overall superiority of the proposed PI models considering the computational cost, and total number of parameters. Leveraging the simplicity, minimal parameter requirements, and analytic invertibility of PI models, the proposed PI model is considered a superior choice for modeling and subsequently controlling smart structures employing MRF dampers.

Ferroelectric Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Ammonium Halogenobismuthate(III) for Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting.

Halogenobismuthate(III) compounds are of recent interest because of their low toxicity and distinct electrical properties. The utility of these materials as ferroelectrics for piezoelectric energy harvesters is still in its early stages. Herein, we report a hybrid ammonium halogenobismuthate(III) [BPBrDMA]2·[BiBr5], crystallizing in a ferroelectrically active polar noncentrosymmetric Pna21 space group. Its noncentrosymmetric structure was confirmed by the detection of the second harmonic generation response. The ferroelectric P-E hysteresis loop measurements on the thin film sample of [BPBrDMA]2·[BiBr5] gave a saturation polarization (Ps) of 5.72 μC cm-2. The piezoresponse force microscopy analysis confirmed its ferroelectric and piezoelectric nature, showing characteristic domain structures and signature hysteresis and butterfly loops. The piezoelectric energy harvesting attributes of [BPBrDMA]2·[BiBr5] were further probed on its polylactic acid (PLA) composites. The 15 wt % [BPBrDMA]2·[BiBr5]-PLA polymer composite resulted in a high output voltage of 26.2 V and power density of 15.47 μW cm-2. The energy harvested from this device was further utilized for charging a 10 μF capacitor within 3 min.

Experimental Study on the Seismic Performance of Insulated Single-Sided Composite Shear Walls under Different Shear Spans and Axial Compression Ratios

The new insulated single-sided composite shear wall (NISCSW) composition involves setting a precast wall panel on one side and an insulation panel on the other side, with a middle cavity for casting concrete. To investigate the seismic performance of NISCSW under different shear spans and axial compression ratios, eight specimens are made, including six composite and two cast-in-place walls. The shear span ratio is controlled at 1.2 and 1.9, and the axial compression ratio is controlled at 0.1, 0.3, and 0.4. The specimens are subjected to quasistatic tests to analyze failure modes, hysteresis characteristics, stiffness degradation, displacement ductility, and energy dissipation capacity and to compare the seismic performance of the composite and cast-in-place walls. Results show that for each composite specimen, under the same axial compression ratio, the large shear span ratio specimen has a lower ultimate bearing capacity and faster stiffness degradation but better ductility and postyield energy dissipation capacity. Under the same shear span ratio, the high axial compression ratio specimen had a higher ultimate bearing capacity, slightly worse ductility, and similar stiffness degradation and energy dissipation capacity compared to other specimens. Compared with the cast-in-place specimen with the same axial compression ratio, the composite specimen failure mode and hysteresis characteristics are similar, and the ductility and energy dissipation capacity are comparable to the cast-in-place shear wall specimen, indicating that NISCSW has similar seismic performance to the cast-in-place shear wall under conditions of a large shear span ratio and high axial compression ratio. Based on the test results, the program ABAQUS is used to simulate the specimens. Compared with the test results, the simulated specimen failure mode is consistent with the test results, and the hysteresis and skeleton curves are consistent with the test curve, indicating that the model is correct, reliable, and can be verified with test results.

A physicochemically reformed nanostructured graphene oxide-doped indium magnesium oxide film with enhanced electrical properties

Brush-coated graphene oxide (GO)-doped indium magnesium oxide (InMgO) films were produced in this study. The GO concentration was adjusted to 0, 5, and 15 wt%. The hybrid films were constructed using a one-step facile brush-coating process. The formed hybrid film had an oriented anisotropic morphology with a micro/nanogroove structure due to the shear stress induced by the brush hair movement. This anisotropic structure was used as a liquid crystal (LC) alignment layer. Polarized optical microscopy and pretilt angle analysis revealed the presence of a uniform and homogeneous LC alignment on the hybrid film. The film exhibited excellent light control with the LCs, as well as stable and high optical transmittance in the visible region. The GO doping of InMgO increased its polar anchoring energy and decreased its hysteresis characteristics for LC electronic device applications. These results demonstrate the potential of doping metal oxide films with GO and brush coating them for use in next-generation LC devices.

Estimation of SOC in Lithium-Iron-Phosphate Batteries Using an Adaptive Sliding Mode Observer with Simplified Hysteresis Model during Electric Vehicle Duty Cycles

This paper develops a model for lithium-ion batteries under dynamic stress testing (DST) and federal urban driving schedule (FUDS) conditions that incorporates associated hysteresis characteristics of 18650-format lithium iron-phosphate batteries. Additionally, it introduces the adaptive sliding mode observer algorithm (ASMO) to achieve robust and swiftly accurate estimation of the state of charge (SOC) of lithium-iron-phosphate batteries during electric vehicle duty cycles. The established simplified hysteresis model in this paper significantly enhances the fitting accuracy during charging and discharging processes, compensating for voltage deviations induced by hysteresis characteristics. The SOC estimation, even in the face of model parameter changes under complex working conditions during electric vehicle duty cycles, maintains high robustness by capitalizing on the easy convergence and parameter insensitivity of ASMO. Lastly, experiments conducted under different temperatures and FUDS and DST conditions validate that the SOC estimation of lithium-iron-phosphate batteries, based on the adaptive sliding-mode observer and the simplified hysteresis model, exhibits enhanced robustness and faster convergence under complex working conditions and temperature variations during electric vehicle duty cycles.

Flexible piezoresistive pressure sensor based on a graphene-carbon nanotube-polydimethylsiloxane composite

Flexible sensors are used widely in wearable devices, specifically flexible piezoresistive sensors, which are common and easy to manipulate. However, fabricating such sensors is expensive and complex, so proposed here is a simple fabrication approach involving a sensor containing microstructures replicated from a sandpaper template onto which polydimethylsiloxane containing a mixture of graphene and carbon nanotubes is spin coated. The surface morphologies of three versions of the sensor made using different grades of sandpaper are observed, and the corresponding pressure sensitivities and linearity and hysteresis characteristics are assessed and analyzed. The results show that the sensor made using 80-mesh sandpaper has the best sensing performance. Its sensitivity is 0.341 kPa−1 in the loading range of 0–1.6 kPa, it responds to small external loading of 100 Pa with a resistance change of 10%, its loading and unloading response times are 0.126 and 0.2 s, respectively, and its hysteresis characteristic is ∼7%, indicating that the sensor has high sensitivity, fast response, and good stability. Thus, the presented piezoresistive sensor is promising for practical applications in flexible wearable electronics.

Shear thickening and hysteresis in dense suspensions: The effect of particle shape

The flow of dense suspension of non-Brownian particles has been considered by various studies affected by their significance in a variety of industries and natural phenomena. In this study, we investigate the effect of polyhedron morphology on shear thickening, shear jamming, and hysteresis characteristics of non-Brownian suspension of acrylate particles. Particles with the same chemical nature and three different shapes of spherical (aspect ratio Γ = 1), elliptical paraboloid (Γ ≈ 1), and boat-shaped (Γ ≈ 3) are fabricated via photopolymerization-based methods. Studied suspensions show the shear-thinning behavior at low shear stresses and shear thickening behavior at the higher range of shear stress. Also, the strength of observed shear thickening is enhanced for the suspensions of polyhedron particles, which can be attributed to the heightened degree of interparticle frictional contacts. Furthermore, it is found that angularity not only shifts the predicted frictionless and frictional jamming packing fractions to lower values but also expands the shear jamming packing fraction range. Finally, a history-dependent hysteresis is observed in all samples due to the different particle spatial structures forming in ascending and descending flow modes. The observed hysteresis loops strongly depend on the volume fraction and diminish near the jamming packing fraction due to the restricted mobility space of particles. In addition, the tumbling of elongated particles also can decrease the hysteresis loop by enhancing viscosity in the ascending flow mode, where the structures are not fully developed.

A recurrence model capturing interface traps for non-zero bandgap GFETs towards dynamic mimicking of synaptic plasticity

This paper primarily focusses on developing an analytical model with a non-zero bandgap of boron (B)/nitrogen (N) substitution doped graphene field-effect transistors (GFETs) to mimic the synaptic behaviour. The trap charges at the channel and gate-insulator interface are utilized to induce the hysteresis conduction mechanism, which is further exploited to accomplish synaptic plasticity. The proposed recurrence, that is the time-dependent trap drain current model, accurately captures the physical insights of trap charges using an equivalent metal–insulator–graphene model. An interesting feature of the proposed model is that it is compatible with both the doped (B/N) and the undoped GFETs. The model is also investigated to generate the hysteresis characteristics of the GFET that are further utilized to simulate the synaptic behaviour. Another fact that must be noticed is the existence of complete OFF regions for doped B/N GFETs, unlike the undoped case, which manifest undesirable ambipolar behaviour. The synapse made up of B/N-doped GFETs predicts an optimistic learning and memory mechanism, termed as spike time-dependent plasticity (STDP). The STDP characteristics of B/N doped synaptic GFETs have been enhanced by more than 18 × compared to artificial synapses made of undoped GFETs. Hence, the hysteresis behaviour along with the non-zero bandgap of B/N substitution doped GFETs makes them highly favourable for the dynamic mimicking of synaptic plasticity to be efficiently biologically plausible.

A novel current-based identification method for dynamic performance of high-speed on/off valve

Digital hydraulic systems (DHS) are widely used in complex engineering fields. Their response speed and control accuracy depend on the dynamic performance of High-speed on/off valve (HSV), which serves as the core control component of DHS. However, the compact structure and embedded installation configuration of the HSV make it difficult to accurately measure its dynamic performance. To address the problem, a novel current-based identification method (CBIM) is proposed in this study. Considering the B-H hysteresis characteristic of the soft magnetic alloy, the influence of the spool moving velocity on the coil current derivative is explored. On this basis, each feature point obtained from the current derivative model can be matched with every switching state of the HSV. Compared with the laser displacement detection method, results show that the proposed CBIM can accurately measure the moving characteristic of spool under different temperature rise conditions. Of these, the maximum identification error of individual switching state time is 3.96 % (compare 0.97 ms with 1.01 ms). Meanwhile, the maximum identification error of total dynamic time is only 1.49 % (compare 8.57 ms with 8.70 ms). Additionally, under different supply pressures, the feature points of the coil derivative curves are also obvious. Therefore, the experimental results all validate the effectiveness of CBIM, and it has scalable applications in the future.

Adaptive Backstepping Time Delay Control for Precision Positioning Stage with Unknown Hysteresis

Piezoelectric-actuated precision positioning stages are widely used in high-precision instruments and high-end equipment due to their advantages of high resolution, fast response, and compact size. However, due to the strong nonlinearity of hysteresis, the presence of hysteresis in piezoelectric actuators seriously affects the positioning accuracy of the system. In addition, it is challenging to identify the model parameters for hysteresis. In this paper, an adaptive backstepping time delay control method is proposed for piezoelectric devices system with unknown hysteresis. Firstly, the Bouc–Wen model is used to describe the hysteresis characteristics, and the model is interpreted as a linear term and a bounded uncertain hysteresis term. Then, the time delay estimation technique is used to estimate the hysteresis term of the Bouc–Wen model online, and the unknown parameters of the system and hysteresis model are obtained through adaptive updating laws. Furthermore, the stability of the control scheme is proved based on Lyapunov stability theory. Finally, the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed control scheme are demonstrated by comparing it with two typical hysteresis compensation control algorithms through three different sets of input signals.

Optimization of Bilayer Resistive Random Access Memory Based on Ti/HfO2/ZrO2/Pt.

In this paper, the electrothermal coupling model of metal oxide resistive random access memory (RRAM) is analyzed by using a 2D axisymmetrical structure in COMSOL Multiphysics simulation software. The RRAM structure is a Ti/HfO2/ZrO2/Pt bilayer structure, and the SET and RESET processes of Ti/HfO2/ZrO2/Pt are verified and analyzed. It is found that the width and thickness of CF1 (the conductive filament of the HfO2 layer), CF2 (the conductive filament of the ZrO2 layer), and resistive dielectric layers affect the electrical performance of the device. Under the condition of the width ratio of conductive filament to transition layer (6:14) and the thickness ratio of HfO2 to ZrO2 (7.5:7.5), Ti/HfO2/ZrO2/Pt has stable high and low resistance states. On this basis, the comparison of three commonly used RRAM metal top electrode materials (Ti, Pt, and Al) shows that the resistance switching ratio of the Ti electrode is the highest at about 11.67. Finally, combining the optimal conductive filament size and the optimal top electrode material, the I-V hysteresis loop was obtained, and the switching ratio Roff/Ron = 10.46 was calculated. Therefore, in this paper, a perfect RRAM model is established, the resistance mechanism is explained and analyzed, and the optimal geometrical size and electrode material for the hysteresis characteristics of the Ti/HfO2/ZrO2/Pt structure are found.

Analytical and numerical simulation of seismic resilient rocking column with enhanced RC column and pre-pressed disc springs devices

This paper presents a novel self-centering energy dissipating RC rocking column (SCERC) in which a steel tube protects the concrete from spalling and crushing at the column base. It incorporates an easily repairable pre-pressed disc spring self-centering device (SC) to restore the rocking column to its original position and a straightforward slip friction energy dissipation device (ED) to ensure adequate energy dissipation capacity. The working principle of the SC was investigated, and an analytical method was proposed. Subsequently, a theoretical hysteresis model for the SCERC considering different limit states is developed through reliable analyses. Lastly, the preliminary design parameters of the SCERC were determined, with numerical simulations conducted to validate the theoretical model. These simulations aim to explore the hysteresis characteristics, energy dissipation capabilities, and self-centering performance of the SCERC under different axial pressures and self-centering ratios. The results indicate that the theoretical hysteresis model was consistent with the numerical simulations, revealing that the SCERC exhibits a “flag-shaped” hysteresis response. The proposed SCERC displays satisfactory energy dissipation and self-centering characteristics. The SC provide sufficient restoring forces, with the EDs accounting for much of the energy dissipation. Plastic deformation was not observed in the concrete column, except for the unavoidable deformation occurring in the steel tube at the point of rotation. While a rocking column naturally possesses self-centering capabilities under axial forces, it requires SCs to counteract the negative stiffness caused by the P-∆ effect. As the self-centering ratio decreases, both the load capacity and energy dissipation capacity of the SCERC increase, leading to an increase in the residual deformation of the column; hence, the design should balance these two aspects for a suitable self-centering rate.

Experimental Study on Repairing/Restoration and Reinforcement Methods of the Reinforced Concrete Structures Damaged by Earthquakes

For earthquake-damaged reinforced concrete structures, the static loading test method is adopted to carry out loading tests under cyclic loading on reinforced concrete beams with different reinforcement rates and columns with different axial compression ratios, and the effect of reinforcing and repairing the damaged reinforced concrete structure by using adhesive steel plates and carbon fiber cloth is investigated. Through comparative studies of structural hysteresis curves and skeleton curves under different reinforcement methods, it is concluded that reinforcement has significantly improved the hysteresis characteristics and ductility of members, and the seismic performance of the carbon fiber reinforcement method is better than that of the steel plate reinforcement. This study provides valuable references and suggestions for practical earthquake-damaged building reinforcement and repair works and seismic reinforcement works.
