This study investigated whether whole-body, rhythmic actionaperception coordination in stance is organized in terms of dynamic principles. We observed whether phase transition and hysteresis occur ...during the execution of dancing movements. Nine skilled street dancers and 9 novice controls performed 2 types of rhythmic knee-bending movements to a metronome beat in the standing position. Participants performed down-on-the-beat (in which knee flexion coincides with the beat) and up-on-the-beat (in which knee extension coincides with the beat), which are both typical components of street dance. All participants were instructed not to intervene in the pattern change. The auditory stimulus beat rate increased or decreased between 60 and 220 beats per minute (bpm) in steps of 20 bpm. We calculated the phase angle of beat time that is superposed on knee movement trajectory on a phase plane. Under the up-on-the-beat condition, phase transition and hysteresis were observed. The bifurcation frequency at which phase transition occurred significantly differed between groups, indicating that dancers were able to perform up-on-the-beat at higher movement frequencies than non-dancers. This suggests that dynamical properties may differ between Dancers and Non-dancers. The present results provide additional evidence that whole-body actionaperception pattern formation is governed by general and common dynamical principles.
The various mathematical models for hysteresis such as Preisach, Krasnosel’skii–Pokrovskii (KP), Prandtl–Ishlinskii (PI), Maxwell-Slip, Bouc–Wen and Duhem are surveyed in terms of their applications ...in modeling, control and identification of dynamical systems. In the first step, the classical formalisms of the models are presented to the reader, and more broadly, the utilization of the classical models is considered for development of more comprehensive models and appropriate controllers for corresponding systems. In addition, the authors attempt to encourage the reader to follow the existing mathematical models of hysteresis to resolve the open problems.

Magnetic shape memory alloy (MSMA) based actuators are extensively applied in the fields of precision manufacturing and micro/nano technology. Nevertheless, the inherent hysteresis in the MSMA-based ...actuator severely hinders its further application. In this letter, the characteristics of hysteresis behavior under different input signals are investigated. Then, a nonlinear auto-regressive moving average with exogenous inputs (NARMAX) model based on a diagonal recurrent neural network (DRNN) is used to construct the rate-dependent hysteresis model. To improve the capability of characterizing the multi-valued mapping of the hysteresis loop, the play operator is adopted as the exogenous variable function of the NARMAX model. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed model, a series of comparisons are implemented. The experimental results show that the proposed NARMAX model based on the DRNN exhibits excellent modeling performance.
Organic–inorganic lead halide perovskite solar cells are promising alternatives to silicon‐based cells due to their low material costs and high photovoltaic performance. In this work, thin continuous ...perovskite films are combined with copper(I) iodide (CuI) as inorganic hole‐conducting material to form a planar device architecture. A maximum conversion efficiency of 7.5% with an average efficiency of 5.8 ± 0.8% is achieved which, to our knowledge, is the highest reported efficiency for CuI‐based devices with a planar structure. In contrast to related planar 2,2′,7,7′‐tetrakis‐(N,N ‐di‐4‐methoxyphenylamino)‐9,9′‐spirobifluorene (spiro‐OMeTAD)‐based devices, the CuI‐based devices do not show a pronounced hysteresis when tested by scanning the potential in a forward and backward direction. The strong quenching of photoluminescence (PL) signal and comparatively fast decay of open‐circuit voltage demonstrates a more rapid removal of positive charge carriers from the perovskite layer when in contact with CuI compared to spiro‐OMeTAD. A slow response on a timescale of 10–100 s is observed for the spiro‐OMeTAD‐based devices. In comparison, the CuI‐based device displays a significantly faster response as determined through electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and open‐circuit voltage decays (OCVDs). The characteristically slow kinetics measured through EIS and OCVD are linked directly to the current–voltage hysteresis.
Planar perovskite/copper(I) iodide solar cells with near to no J–V hysteresis, made by employing thin CuI and perovskite layers, result in a record conversion efficiency of 7.5%. The magnitude of dielectric polarization at the perovskite/hole‐conductor interface is proposed to influence the degree of J–V hysteresis.
This paper aims to analyze the problem of adaptive neural network (NN) tracking control for a class of switched stochastic nonlinear pure-feedback systems with unknown direction hysteresis. In the ...light of recent studies on the hysteresis phenomenon in the field of nonlinear switched systems, this paper focuses on Bouc-Wen hysteresis model with unknown parameters and direction conditions. To simplify the control design, the following procedure is applied. Prior to tackling the unknown direction hysteresis problem based on the Nussbaum function and the backstepping techniques, the pure-feedback structure difficulty is governed by the mean value theorem. Furthermore, an optimized adaptation method is utilized to cope with computational burden. Universal approximation capability of radial basis function NNs and Lyapunov function method is synthesized to develop an adaptive NN tracking control scheme. It is demonstrated that under arbitrary deterministic switching, the presented controller can guarantee that all signals in the closed-loop system are semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded in probability and the tracking error converges to a neighborhood of the origin. Finally, two simulation examples are given to illustrate the advantages of the proposed control design approach.
This paper is concerned with multivariable coupled hysteretic systems. The traditional Bouc-Wen monovariable hysteresis model devoted to 1 degree of freedom (DoF) actuated systems is extended to ...model the hysteresis in systems with multiple DoF, which typify strong cross-couplings. The proposed approach is able to model and to compensate for known hysteresis nonlinearities that affect smart materials. First, after presenting the new multivariable hysteresis Bouc-Wen model, a procedure of identification of its parameters is proposed. Then, we propose a multivariable compensator for the hysteresis. The compensator is based on the combination of the inverse multiplicative structure with the model, which permits to avoid additional calculation of its parameters. Such advantage is essential when the number of DoF is high. All along this paper, the cases of underactuated, overactuated, and fully actuated hysteretic systems are discussed. Finally, the proposed method is used to model and to compensate for the hysteresis in a 3-DoF piezoelectric tube actuator. The experimental results demonstrate its efficiency to linearize the hysteresis in the direct transfers and to minimize the hysteresis of the cross-couplings.
This article proposes a dynamic model and a tracking control strategy for a dielectric elastomer (DE) actuator based on the model predictive controller (MPC). First, the dynamic model of the DE ...actuator is established, which can describe its asymmetric hysteresis, creep, and even rate-dependent hysteresis behaviors simultaneously. Then, on the basis of the established dynamic model, an inverse compensation controller (ICC) is designed to compensate the hysteresis and creep nonlinearities of the DE actuator on its tracking control. Moreover, the MPC is designed to cooperate with the ICC, which can overcome the influences of the modeling error and uncertainties on the control precision. Finally, several experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed dynamic model and control strategy.
The power conversion efficiency of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) has ascended from 3.8% to 22.1% in recent years. ZnO has been well‐documented as an excellent electron‐transport material. However, ...the poor chemical compatibility between ZnO and organo‐metal halide perovskite makes it highly challenging to obtain highly efficient and stable PSCs using ZnO as the electron‐transport layer. It is demonstrated in this work that the surface passivation of ZnO by a thin layer of MgO and protonated ethanolamine (EA) readily makes ZnO as a very promising electron‐transporting material for creating hysteresis‐free, efficient, and stable PSCs. Systematic studies in this work reveal several important roles of the modification: (i) MgO inhibits the interfacial charge recombination, and thus enhances cell performance and stability; (ii) the protonated EA promotes the effective electron transport from perovskite to ZnO, further fully eliminating PSCs hysteresis; (iii) the modification makes ZnO compatible with perovskite, nicely resolving the instability of ZnO/perovskite interface. With all these findings, PSCs with the best efficiency up to 21.1% and no hysteresis are successfully fabricated. PSCs stable in air for more than 300 h are achieved when graphene is used to further encapsulate the cells.

The elastic storage and release of mechanical energy has been key to many developments throughout the history of mankind. Resilience, absent hysteresis, has been an elusive goal to achieve, ...particularly at large deformations. Using a low‐crosslink‐density polyacrylamide hydrogel at 96% water content having hyperbranched silica nanoparticles (HBSPs) as the major junction points, a hysteresis‐free material is realized. The fatigue‐free characteristic of these composite hydrogels is evidenced by the invariance of the stress–strain curves at strain ratios of 4, even after 5000 cycles. At a strain ratio of 7, only a 1.3% hysteresis is observed. A markedly increased strain‐ratio‐at‐break of 11.5 is observed. The unique attributes of these resilient hydrogels are manifested in the high‐fidelity detection of dynamic deformations under cyclic loading over a broad range of frequencies, difficult to achieve with other materials.
Highly swollen, low‐crosslinking‐density polymer hydrogel reinforced with hyperbranched silica nanoparticles is absent of temporary entanglement and effectively avoids hysteresis during extensive cyclic tensile tests. This work provides a universal design principle for hysteresis‐free hydrogels, leading to better antifatigue performances.
