Abstract

A system for measuring the internal friction of a wire specimen in free decay in an inverted torsion pendulum is described. It is based on the automatic measurement of the number of oscillations of a reflected light beam between two predetermined but variable amplitudes. The system is comparatively inexpensive to produce, is semiautomatic and enables accurate and rapid determination of the internal friction and resonance frequency. It also has a very wide frequency range.
