Internal Friction of Material







PREFACE

The complete absence of books characterising the internal friction

of materials, its external and internal aspects and the application of

measurements in various scientific and technical areas, especially in

physical metallurgy and threshold states of materials, has been the

impetus for the author to write this book. Without understanding

the principle and mechanisms of anelasticity and the effect of

various factors on internal friction, together with the application of

methods of reproducible internal friction measurements, it is not

possible to solve the problems of the application of these

measurements as direct or indirect methods for the evaluation of the

structural stability of alloys, problems of cyclic microplasticity and

deeper understanding of processes associated with the response of

materials to single or repeated loading.

In addition to the original systematisation of the possibilities

of using internal friction measurements in various sciences, the

book presents the latest theories and results together with practical

approaches to the measurement and evaluation of the resultant

relationships
