Pushing is a motion primitive useful to handle objects that are too large, too heavy, or too cluttered to be grasped. It is at the core of much of robotic manipulation, in particular when physical interaction is involved. It seems…
Ferromagnetic materials exhibit anisotropy, saturation, and hysteresis. We here study the incorporation of an incremental vector hysteresis model representing such complex behavior into nonlinear magnetic field problems both, from a…
Hysterons are elementary units of hysteresis that underlie many complex behaviors of non-equilibrium matter. Because models of interacting hysterons can describe disordered matter, this suggests that artificial systems could respond to…

In conventional FORC (First Order Reversal Curve) analysis of a magnetic system, reversible and low-coercivity irreversible materials are treated as being qualitatively different: the FORC distribution shows low-coercivity materials but…

Hysteresis is more than just an interesting oddity, which occurs in materials with a first-order transition. It is a real obstacle on the path from existing lab-scale prototypes of magnetic refrigerators towards commercialization of this…
Disordered magnets, martensitic mixed crystals, and glassy solids can be irreversibly deformed by subjecting them to external deformation. The deformation produces a smooth, reversible response punctuated by abrupt relaxation "glitches".…
