The frequency-dependent Jiles-Atherton hysteresis model

An extension of the Jiles-Atherlon (J-A) magnetic hysteresis model is proposed in the paper. The physical J-A model has been substituted with the specially chosen mathematical Chua model. The proposed model produces identical results to those of the original J-A model for the static magnetic hysteresis loop. The new model permits the inclusion of a wide variety of additional effects observed for ferromagnetic materials without invalidating the well-known and broadly used J-A model parameters. Thus, it is possible to effectively model phenomena, whose detailed physical model would require complex mathematical calculations. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
