The Preisach model has been developed for modeling hysteresis in ferro-
magnetic materials. This model is a promising candidate to capture the hys-
teretic behavior of an MR uid because the chain clusters of an MR uid are
formed by induced magnetic dipoles via electomagnetization. The Preisach
model is phenomenological in nature, and it is characterized by two signi-
cant properties: the minor loop property and the wiping-out property [14, 15].
The minor loop property species that two comparable minor loops, which
are generated by moving between two same pairs of input ...
