Popis: For many years, researchers have used internal friction to characterize structural inhomogeneities or flaws in a material by using the frequency or temperature dependence of the acoustic loss mechanisms connected with these inhomogeneities. The field of materials characterization and flaw detection by acoustic nondestructive evaluation (NDE) thus has a broad fundamental base. This knowledge base is of great interest in that it is useful for nondestructive characterization and, particularly, to determine the effect of these inhomogeneities on the overall performance of the material. A variety of inhomogeneities can be studied by acoustic NDE, including interstitials, precipitates, dislocations, grains, phase transformations, porosity, and cracks.
