Definitions and meanings of "Hysteresis"

What do we mean by hysteresis?

The lagging of an effect behind its cause, as when the change in magnetism of a body lags behind changes in the magnetic field. noun

A lagging of one of two related phenomena behind the other. noun

A lagging or retardation of the effect, when the forces acting upon a body are changed, as if from velocity or internal friction; a temporary resistance to change from a condition previously induced, observed in magnetism, thermoelectricity, etc., on reversal of polarity. noun

A property of a system such that an output value is not a strict function of the corresponding input, but also incorporates some lag, delay, or history dependence, and in particular when the response for a decrease in the input variable is different from the response for an increase. For example, a thermostat with a nominal setpoint of 75° might switch the controlled heat source on when the temperature drops below 74°, and off when it rises above 76°. noun

The lagging of an effect behind its cause; especially the phenomenon in which the magnetic induction of a ferromagnetic material lags behind the changing magnetic field noun

A property of a system such that an output value is not a strict function of the corresponding input, but also incorporates some lag, delay, or history dependence, and in particular when the response for a decrease in the input variable is different from the response for an increase. For example, a thermostat with a nominal setpoint of 75° might switch the controlled heat source on when the temperature drops below 74°, and off when it rises above 76°.

Magnetic friction in dynamos, by which every reversal of magnetism in the iron causes dissipation of energy.

The word "hysteresis" in example sentences

Such systems often exhibit hysteresis, that is multiple states for the same system parameters but which state you are in depends on history, i.e., initial conditions. ❋ Unknown (2007)

The ice sheet's so-called hysteresis, or resistance to change, is now in doubt. ❋ Unknown (2010)

This intermediate input region is a deadspace where there is no response, a property called hysteresis, it is like backlash in a mechanical linkage. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Economists use the term "hysteresis" to describe this dynamic in which the longer workers are jobless, the more their skills erode. ❋ Brian Blackstone (2010)

In 1986, Summers wrote an influential paper about 'hysteresis' in unemployment. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Summers won't say it, but short of a total remake of "free market" economics, likely nothing and perhaps that's America's future with growing millions consigned to a permanent underclass, while an elite few at the top grow richer, until one day "hysteresis" snaps the system in a disruptive convulsion, the old model passes from the scene, and nothing is the same again. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Economists call this "hysteresis": it means that a recession can be more than a cyclical phenomenon, and have long-lasting effects.

Also, the input buffer of these optocouplers offer several key features to enhance threshold sensing such as hysteresis for extra noise and switching immunity, a diode bridge for easy use with AC input signals, and internal clamping diodes to protect the buffer and LED from a wide range of over-voltage and over-current transients. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Heat build-up in electrical devices is symptomatic of eddy current and hysteresis loss and requires strategies for minimization of loss and removal of heat. ❋ Unknown (2009)

What gets less attention, in other words, is hysteresis. ❋ Ezra Klein (2010)

And that brings us back to the mostly unknown dangers of hysteresis. ❋ Ezra Klein (2010)

Bloomberg A job fair in Illinois Economists have long worried that long-term unemployment produces "hysteresis" when workers lose their skills or become disconnected from the work force, causing lasting damage to the economy. ❋ Gene Sperling (2011)
