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".…

Phase diagrams and hysteresis loops were obtained by Monte Carlo simulations and a mean-field method for a simplified model of a spin-crossover material with a two-step transition between the high-spin and low-spin states. This model is a…

Although jammed packings of soft spheres exist in potential energy landscapes with a vast number of minima, when subjected to cyclic shear they may revisit the same configurations repeatedly. Simple hysteretic spin models, in which particle…
First Order Reversal Curves (FORCs) have been used for a number of years for the extraction of information from magnetization measurements. The results are most unambiguous for irreversible processes -- for a collection of Preisach…
This work identifies the general approach for linearising any power system component in the harmonic domain, that is with respect to its Fourier series coefficients. This ability enables detailed harmonic analysis, and is key as more power…
Thixotropy, anti-thixotropy, and viscoelasticity are three types of time-dependent dynamics that involve fundamentally different underlying physical processes. Yet distinguishing them can be very challenging, which hinders the understanding…
We perform computer simulations to probe the magnetic hysteresis in a two-dimensional ($L^{}_x\times L^{}_y$) assembly of magnetic nanoparticles as a function of dipolar interaction strength $h^{}_d$, temperature $T$, aspect ratio…
The random-field Ising model of hysteresis is generalized to dilute magnets and solved on a Bethe lattice. Exact expressions for the major and minor hysteresis loops are obtained. In the strongly dilute limit the model provides a simple and…

Matrix Dirichlet processes, in reference to their reversible measure, appear in a natural way in many different models in probability. Applying the language of diffusion operators and the method of boundary equations, we describe Dirichlet…
