Application of stop and play models to the representation of magnetic characteristics of silicon steel sheet

Abstract

The stop and play models are applied to the representation of the hysteretic characteristics of a silicon steel sheet. Both models are used to provide hysteretic functions from B to H. The play model identified from symmetric B-H loops describes the hysteretic characteristics much more accurately than does the stop model. Combining the two models achieves a more accurate representation than either of the two models alone.
