On the Characterization of Butterfly and Multiloop Hysteresis Behavior

While it is widely used to represent hysteresis phenomena with unidirectional-oriented loops, we study in this article the use of Preisach operator for describing hysteresis behavior with multidirectional-oriented loops. This complex hysteresis behavior is commonly found in advanced materials, such as, shape-memory alloys or piezoelectric materials, that are used for high-precision sensor and actuator systems. We provide characterization of the Preisach operators exhibiting such input-output behaviors and we show the richness of the operators that are capable of producing intricate loops.
