| Description: | This work bridges the gaps between mechanical spectroscopy, internal friction, relaxation phenomena in solids and the spectroscopic approach to the dissipation of mechanical energy in solids. A limited number of papers are selected from different fields in order to compare the analysis of similar relaxation phenomena occurring in various materials. Part I recalls the basic concepts of mechanical spectroscopy and provides a brief introduction as to how to determine precisely the logarithmic decrement in mechanical loss experiments. The history of the development of internal friction and mechanical spectroscopy is also reviewed by a paper which includes an exhaustive list of references. Part II illustrates the various applications of mechanical spectroscopy in the study of metals and alloys, quasicrystals, glasses, polymers, carbon nanotubes, thin films, thin-layer materials, conductors, composites, etc. Part III covers a range of other magnetic, dielectric, mechanical and light-induced relaxation phenomena. The papers of Part IV cover other relaxation phenomena, experimental techniques and computer modelling, and direct or indirect comparisons of mechanical spectroscopy and other spectroscopic techniques are made. Overall, this book is to be recommended to anyone having an interest in the subject. |
