Internal Friction in Metallic Materials: A Handbook (Springer Series in Materials Science) (Springer Series in Materials Science)

"This book is a unique collection of experimental data in the field of internal friction, anelastic relaxation, and damping properties of metallic materials. It reviews virtually all anelastic relaxation phenomena ever published, and also most of the internal friction effects based on other types of dissipation of mechanical (elastic) energy. Furthermore, the reader is also supplied with explanations of the basic physical mechanisms of internal friction, a summary of typical effects for different groups of metals, and more than 2000 references to original papers."--Jacket 0front-matter......Page 1 1Introduction to Internal Friction Terms and Definitions......Page 15 2Anelastic Relaxation Mechanisms of Internal Friction......Page 25 3Other Mechanisms of Internal Friction......Page 134 4Internal Friction Data of Crystalline Metals and Alloys (Tables)......Page 169 5Internal Friction Data of Special Types of Metallic Materials (Tables)......Page 434
