A differential dynamic Preisach model developed by us and introduced as an
idea suggested by Bertotti is generalized. The starting point of this model
is that the instantaneous excess field due to the moving and dynamic proce
sses can be approximated as a function of M and it's variation rate dM/dt:
F(M,dM/dt). Thus, we determine a differential equation for the magnetic sus
ceptibility. The model's parameters are found by an original identification
method. As an application we simulate a simple electrical circuit and comp
are the results with the experimental data. A very good agreement between t
he measured and simulated data is observed. (C) 1998 American Institute of
