Abstract

A new approach to calculate the magnetic hysteresis, based on the Brillouin theory associated with the Jiles-Atherton approach, is presented. This study represents a general model compared with the classical Jiles-Atherton one. A Brillouin function, using the kinetic atomic moment , allows to determine accurately the value of the anhysteretic magnetization. The obtained results are compared with experimental ones of the silicon-iron sheets.
