Hysteresis is a technical term describing a system whose state depends on its history, commonly used in physics, engineering, and economics. In Japanese, it is typically expressed with the loanword ヒステリシス or the native term 履歴現象.
The phenomenon where a system's response depends on its past inputs, not just its current state.
Specifically the lag between changes in magnetization and the magnetic field.
The standard term for magnetic hysteresis. Combines 磁気 (magnetism) with the loanword.
磁気ヒステリシス曲線を測定した。
We measured the magnetic hysteresis curve.
In economics, the idea that temporary shocks can have permanent effects, e.g., on unemployment.
Commonly used in economic contexts to describe persistent effects of temporary changes.
失業率のヒステリシス効果が懸念されている。
The hysteresis effect on the unemployment rate is a concern.
ヒステリシス is the default in most technical fields. 履歴現象 is more formal and may be preferred in academic papers, but it is less common overall. In speech, ヒステリシス is almost always used.
ヒステリシスについて説明してください。
Please explain hysteresis.
The standard loanword used across scientific and engineering fields. Widely understood in technical contexts.
この材料はヒステリシス特性を示す。
This material exhibits hysteresis characteristics.
A native Japanese term meaning 'history phenomenon'. Used in formal or academic writing, but less common than ヒステリシス.
磁気履歴現象は工学で重要だ。
Magnetic hysteresis is important in engineering.
Specifically 'hysteresis effect'. Used when emphasizing the effect rather than the phenomenon itself.
ヒステリシス効果により、出力が遅れる。
Due to the hysteresis effect, the output is delayed.
A shorter native alternative, often used in compound terms.
磁気履歴損失を減らす必要がある。
It is necessary to reduce magnetic hysteresis loss.
A native term for 'history effect', used in economic models.
このモデルは履歴効果を考慮している。
This model takes hysteresis effects into account.
