A new neural-network-based scalar hysteresis model

A neural network (NN)-based model of scalar hysteresis characteristics has been developed for modeling the behavior of magnetic materials. The virgin curve and a set of the first-order reversal branches can be stored preliminary in a system of three NNs. Different properties of magnetic materials can be simulated by a simple if-then type knowledge-based algorithm. Hysteresis characteristics of different materials predicted by the introduced model are compared with the results of the classical Preisach simulation technique. Comparisons are plotted in figures.
