Vector hysteresis model based on neural network

On the basis of the Kolmogorov‐Arnold theory, the feedforward type artificial neural networks (NNs) are able to approximate any kind of nonlinear, continuous functions represented by its discrete set of measurements. A NN‐based scalar hysteresis model has been constructed preliminarily on the function approximation ability of NNs. An if‐then type knowledge‐base represents the properties of the hysteresis characteristics. Vectorial generalization to describe isotropic and anisotropic magnetic materials in two and three dimensions with an original identification method has been introduced in this paper.
