M3d III: Mechanics and Mechanisms of Material Damping (Astm Special Technical Publication)

Comprises 27 papers from the November 1995 symposium in Norfolk, Virginia. Covers the intersection of the fields of mechanics of solids and materials science. Representative topics: internal friction associated with discontinuous precipitation in lead-tin alloys, magnetomechanical damping in thermally sprayed Fe-Cr-X coatings, internal friction spectrum analysis for complex alloyed austenitic steels, amplitude-dependent damping in YBCO ceramics between 6.5K and 290K, and probabilistic techniques related to amplitude-dependent damping under combined stresses.
