Synopsis

Hysteresis effects appear in several physical phenomena, such as ferromagnetism, ferroelectricity and plasticity. They also appear in many fields of engineering. This state-of-the-art volume provides a unique insight into this relatively new, but rapidly developing, topic of applied mathematics.

Synopsis

Several phenomena exhibit hysteresis. Typical examples are plasticity, ferromagnetism, ferroelectricity, undercooling effects in liquid-solid (or vapour-liquid) transitions, so-called "shape memory". Hysteresis also occurs in engineering, chemistry, biology and economics. This volume collects the proceedings of a workshop on "Models of Hysteresis", held in Trento at Villa Madruzzo in September 1991, in the fra mework of the activity of CIRM (Centro Internazionale per la Ricerca Matematica) of the Instituto Trentino di Cultura. Forty-four researchers participated, presenting 25 talks. This was the second of a series of meetings, bringing together mathematicians interested in the study of hysteresis models and applied scientists (mainly physicists and engineers) active in research on hysteresis phenomena.
