Abstract

The various causes of internal friction in solids are discussed. Internal friction depends in general on thermal currents which occur owing both to the inhomogeneous strains set up by the vibrations in the solid, and to the variations in the elastic constants from point to point in polycrystalline materials. The influence of ferromagnetism also is considered.
