Can memristance be simulated using op-amps?

AI Thread Summary
Memristance can potentially be simulated using operational amplifiers (op-amps), although this requires external power supplies. The emulation would likely involve a charged capacitor as the memory element, paired with a transconductance amplifier or FET to serve as the variable resistive component. Defining the characteristic curves of the desired memristor is essential before designing the emulation circuit. This foundational step ensures the circuit aligns with the specific resistance changes based on current flow history. Overall, while feasible, careful planning and design are crucial for successful simulation.

Is it possible to model memristance using op-amps? I searched google but found nothing.
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
A memristor is a two terminal device that features a change in resistance depending on current flow history.
If op-amp(s) were used to emulate a memristor then they would require external power supplies. The memory element would probably be a charged capacitor, with a transconductance amplifier or FET as the variable resistive element.

You need to first define the characteristic curves that your memristor will follow. Then an emulation circuit can be designed to meet those requirements.
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
