The book provides an overview of the physical phenomena in ferromagnetic and ferroelectric materials on the micro-scale, including the origin of domain structures, domain wall motion and magnetisation or polarization rotation. This discussion leads to multiscale and phenomenological macroscopic models which account for the hysteretic behaviour, followed by a detailed derivation of variational inequalities as the main mathematical tool in hysteresis modelling, hysteresis energy balance and continuous data dependence. Classical elasto-plasticity is used as an example application where thermodynamic potentials and dissipation functions are defined and their relationship to commonly used yield conditions and associated flow rules is shown. The concepts developed there provide the basis for modelling the ferroelectric material behaviour that occurs in piezoelectric ceramics, as well as ferromagnetic behaviour through scalar and vector hysteresis models. These models are complemented by efficient finite element strategies, and identification methods to determine the necessary material parameters in the hysteresis models based on measurements.

About the Author
Manfred Kaltenbacher is Professor of Measurement and Actuator Technology at TU Graz, Austria, where he also served as Head of the Institute of Fundamentals and Theory of Electrical Engineering. His main research interests are advanced finite element methods for multi-physics (magneto-mechanics, vibro- and aero-acoustics, and piezoelectrics) and combined experimental and simulation-based methods for material parameter determination (magnetics, acoustics, piezoelectrics). He serves as Editor-in-Chief of Acta Acustica, and member of the editorial advisory board of Acta Mechanica. He is a member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, the IEEE Society, the AIAA Society, and the European Acoustics Association.
Astrid Pechstein is Associate Professor at the Institute of Technical Mechanics in the Mechatronics Department at JKU Linz, Austria. She is member of the editorial advisory board of Acta Mechanica journal. Her main interests lie in interdisciplinary research, where she tries to combine theoretical results from computational mathematics with problem-specific approaches from mechanical engineering. Her focus is on the derivation of novel finite element methods.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Books Puddle, Woodside, New York, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
