Numerical resolution of the modified Langevin equation using a differential expression: Application to the Jiles magnetostriction law of approach

The Langevin equation is classically used to model the anhysteretic magnetization curve. A modified version of this equation has been introduced by Jiles to take into account the effects of magnetostriction on the anhysteretic magnetization behavior when a ferromagnetic material undergoes mechanical stresses. The numerical resolution of the modified Langevin equation is usually performed with a root-finding algorithm. In this paper, a differential form of the modified Langevin equation is proposed, allowing a faster numerical resolution.
