Tailoring of Hysteresis Across Different Material Scales
TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that the hysteresis exhibited by assemblies of short wire ropes can be tailored via a synergistic use of different dissipation mechanisms (inter-wire frictional sliding, phase transformations) combined with geometric nonlinearities.
