The modulus and internal friction of Armco iron rere continuously measured during cathodic charging rith hydtogen to investigate crack initiation and grorth. The observed modulus decrease ras attributed to crack initiation and grorth. The internal friction increase doring cathodic charging ras atfributed to plastic deformation accompanying the crack formation. Both the modulos and internal fric...

We have studied the impurity effect on the internal friction spectrum, with two different samples magnesium 4N and magnesium 6N containing zinc and iron : for the sample 4N we observe a broad peak depending on the oscillation strain amplitude : this peak shifts towards low temperature when the amplitude increases. for the sample 6N containing zinc and iron, the internal friction spectrum is dif...

designing and optimization of the intake manifold is one of the important steps in the development of the internal combustion engines. in this paper, the flow inside the intake manifold of an internal combustion engine is investigated by numerical modeling. the convective flux models are adopted to simulate the unsteady compressible flow behavior. to solve the governing equations, for calculati...

this paper studies thoroughly and deeply the results of about one hundred triaxial compression tests on thirty types of rockfill materials. the materials are categorized in accordance with their particles shape (angular / rounded) and gradation characteristics. the main tool of the study is the hyperbolic model developed by duncan and chang. the focus of the study is on the variations of deform...

the influence of lime on the shear strength of soil has been known for centuries. the conventional method to increase the lime content of a soil is to add less than 10% hydrated lime in the form of powder or grout to the soil. this method is convenient for soils to be used as fill material in projects such as road construction, land fill pavements or lime pile; but is not applicable where a lar...

The amplitude-dependent internal friction due to dislocations oscillating in the lattice is described in terms of dislocation mobility. This kind of intemal friction is expressed in elementary forms in the two limiting cases, i.e. at hish and low frequencies, and with the results obtained, the behavior of relaxation peaks due to dislocations are discussed 1 INTRODUCTION The amplitude-dependent ...

I t has been indicated that subboundaries apperar to have difficulty in sliding. This payer propose three mechanisms of the internal friction peak associated with subboundaries: diffusion ~ r e e p , ~ l i d e and climb of the jogged dislocations in subboundaries and the interaction of subboundaries and dislocations. We have analysed and calculated the internal friction

The stretching response of a single collapsed homopolymer is studied using Brownian dynamic simulations. The irreversibly dissipated work is found to be dominated by internal friction effects below the collapse temperature, and the internal viscosity grows exponentially with the effective cohesive strength between monomers. These results explain friction effects of globular DNA and are relevant...
