We propose a thermodynamically consistent rate-independent three-dimensional model of magnetic hysteresis in terms of energetic and dissipation potentials making use of a relatively small number of model parameters that is capable of being implemented in a general incremental numerical setting. The dissipation process occurring during magnetization/demagnetization is described by a power-law potential, which leads to rate-independence at a certain limit of the rate-dependent exponent. The incorporation of isotropic hardening in the model enables us to describe phenomenologically at the macroscopic scale both nucleation and pinning type constitutive responses. We further model the symmetric and asymmetric minor loops by employing the idea of a bounding surface, which was originally introduced in the context of mechanical plasticity. Our model shows a very good agreement with experiments for spark plasma sintered NdFeB magnets, where nucleation is found to be the primary mechanism of coercivity. We also use our model to probe experiments for melt-spun NdFeB ribbons and powders, where both nucleation and pinning mechanisms are experimentally found to be significant. Moreover, we correlate the proposed model parameters with the underlying mechanisms for coercivity. We investigate the predictive capability of the proposed model by first probing an experimental minor loop and then use it to successfully predict the remaining minor loops, obtained from that experiment. We also construct a first-order reversal curve diagram for the floppy disk material and compare it with the corresponding experimental data.
