'''Hysteresivity''' derives from “[[hysteresis]]”, meaning “lag”.  It is the tendency to react slowly to an outside force, or to not return completely to its original state.   Whereas the area within a hysteresis loop represents energy dissipated to heat and is an [[extensive]] quantity with units of energy, the hysteresivity represents the fraction of the elastic energy that is lost to heat, and is an [[intensive]] property that is dimensionless.

== Overview ==
When a force deforms a material it generates [[Deformation (engineering)|elastic stresses]] and [[friction|internal frictional stresses]].  Most often, frictional stress is described as being analogous to the stress that results from the flow of a [[viscosity|viscous fluid]], but in many engineering materials, in soft [[biological tissue]]s, and in [[living cell]]s, the concept that friction arises only from a viscous stress is now known to be erroneous.<ref name="Crandal3">Crandall SH.

If not by a viscous stress, how then does friction arise, and how is it properly described?   

In many inert and living materials, the relationship between elastic and frictional stresses turns out to be very nearly [[Invariant (physics)|invariant]] (something unaltered by a transformation).  In lung tissues, for example, the frictional stress is almost invariably between 0.1 and 0.2 of the elastic stress, where this fraction is called the hysteresivity, h, or, equivalently, the structural damping coefficient.<ref name="FredbergStamenovic9" />  It is a simple phenomenological fact, therefore, that for each unit of peak elastic strain energy that is stored during a cyclic deformation, 10 to 20% of that elastic energy is taxed as friction and lost irreversibly to heat.  This fixed relationship holds at the level of the whole lung

This close relationship between frictional and elastic stresses is called the [[structural damping law]] <ref name="Crandal3" /><ref name="FredbergStamenovic9" /><ref name="Hildebrandt12" /><ref name="Fung10">Fung Y. Biomechanics: Mechanical Properties of Living Tissues. New York:: Springer-Verlag, 1988.</ref> or, sometimes, the [[constant phase model]].<ref name="Hantos11" />  The structural damping law implies that frictional losses are coupled tightly to elastic stresses rather than to viscous stresses, but the precise [[molecular mechanics|molecular mechanical origin]] of this phenomenon remains unknown.<ref name="Bursac2">Bursac P, Lenormand G, Fabry B, Oliver M, Weitz DA, Viasnoff V, Butler JP, and Fredberg JJ.

In [[material science]], the complex elastic modulus of a material, G*(f), at frequency of oscillatory deformation, f, is given by,

<math>\ G^{*}(f)=G^{'}+jG^{''} </math>

where:
*G*(f)= complex elastic modulus at [[frequency]] of oscillatory deformation, f
*G’ = the [[elastic modulus]]
*G” = the [[loss modulus]]
*j <sup>2</sup> = -1

This relationship can be rewritten as,   

<math>\ G^{*}(f)=G^{'}(1 + jh) </math>	
 
where:
*h = G”/G’.

In systems conforming to the structural damping law, the hysteresivity "h" is constant with or insensitive to changes in [[oscillation|oscillatory frequency]], and the loss modulus G” (= h G’) becomes a constant fraction of the elastic modulus.
