INTERNAL FRICTION AND HARMONIC GENERATION IN IRON

Internal Friction Characteristics of Interstitial Carbon and Nitrogen in -iron

Harmonic generation by reflecting internal waves

The generation of internal gravity waves by tidal flow over topography is an important oceanic process that redistributes tidal energy in the ocean. Internal waves reflect from boundaries, creating harmonics and mixing. We use laboratory experiments and two-dimensional numerical simulations of the Navier–Stokes equations to determine the value of the topographic slope that gives the most intens...

Internal friction in enzyme reactions.

The empirical concept of internal friction was introduced 20 years ago. This review summarizes the results of experimental and theoretical studies that help to uncover the nature of internal friction. After the history of the concept, we describe the experimental challenges in measuring and interpreting internal friction based on the viscosity dependence of enzyme reactions. We also present spe...

Internal Friction in Concentrated Alloys

Internal friction in concentrated alloys at kHz frequencies and at temperatures from 120 3 0 0 K has been studied in alpha-and beta-brasses as a function of grain size, temperature and pre-strain, and a statistical model has been proposed to account for the observations.

Internal Friction in Irradiated Polymethylmethacrylate

Some results of the influence of y radiation on the mechanical properties of PoIymethylmethacrylate are presented. Doses of 0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 kGy were employed. The internal friction (loss tangent) and storage shear modulus were measured at temperatures between 173 K and 300 K using a damped torsion pendulum. Compressive tests were made at room temperature with strain rates between 1 . 4 ...
