Internal Friction and Elastic Study on Surface Nanocrystallized 304 Stainless Steel Induced by High-energy Shot Peening

The 304 stainless steel with nanostructured surface layer was successfully obtained by using the high-energy shot peening (HESP) method. The internal friction and Young's modulus of this kind of surface nanocrystallized material were dynamically measured by means of the vibrating reed apparatus. The results implied that different treatment time could induce different microstructure and distribution characteristic of defects in this kind of materials. It is also demonstrated that there is a transition layer between the nano-layer on surface and the coarse grain region inside. The transition layer obviously has certain influence on the overall mechanical properties.

Strain amplitude-dependent internal friction of as-cast high damping magnesium alloy during cyclic vibration

An investigation on strain amplitude-dependent internal friction （IF） of an as-cast high damping Mg-7 wt% Ni alloy was carried out. In the range of our tested strain amplitudes, whether the strain amplitude is increasing or decreasing, the strain amplitude-dependent IF curve can be divided into two stages： one is the strain amplitude weakly dependent part and the other is the strain amplitude strongly dependent part. However, after several cyclic vibrations, the IF values measured during the strain amplitude increasing are smaller than those obtained during the strain amplitude decreasing. The phenomenon is also observed at 100 C. Partial dislocations generate a short-range slip under the cyclic stress to be responsible for it.

Experimental Study and Fatigue Analysis of Vortex-Induced Vibration of Umbilical Cable Considering Internal Friction

In order to investigate the effect of internal friction of umbilical cable on its vortex-induced vibration(VIV)responses,the experimental study on VIV of bond umbilical cable(BUC)and un-bond umbilical cable(UBUC)was carried out in an experimental tank.A current generator in the laboratory simulated the uniform current,and the current velocities were observed in real time by using a Doppler Velocimeter.In addition,different sizes of top tension were applied to the umbilical cable model.The VIV responses of the umbilical cable model were measured by using Fiber Bragg grating(FBG)strain sensors.The displacement responses of umbilical cable model were reconstructed based on the experimental strain data processed by modal superposition method.In this paper,the traveling wave characteristics,the spatial-temporal distribution characteristics of frequency and fatigue damage of the BUC and UBUC under VIV are studied.The experimental results show that there are obvious differences between BUC and UBUC in the response characteristics of VIV.The UBUC appears the traveling wave sooner than BUC,but its standing wave characteristics are more obvious than those of BUC at high velocities.Compared with BUC,the spatial-temporal distribution of UBUC frequencies appears wide-band distribution sooner,but has narrower bandwidth in the"lock-in"state.The level of fatigue damage of BUC was approximately the same as that of UBUC.

Effect of precipitation on internal friction of AZ91 magnesium alloy

The effect of precipitation on the internal friction(IF)of AZ91 magnesium alloy was investigated by using X-ray diffraction(XRD)analysis,scanning electron microscope(SEM)observation,and dynamic mechanical analysis(DMA).Six different states of alloy were prepared by applying different heat treatment processes:as-cast,in-complete solid solution,complete solid solution,micro-precipitation,continuous precipitation and continuous-discontinuous precipitation.It was found that the internal friction of in-completely solid-solutionized,completely solid-solutionized and micro-precipitated specimens showed a similar characteristic,and the grain boundary relaxation is completed depressed due to the Al atoms supersaturated in theα-Mg solution.However,a thermal relaxation internal friction peak was observed for continuously precipitated and continuously-discontinuously precipitated specimens at around 438 K and frequency of about 1 Hz,which was attributed to the grain boundaries relaxation.Furthermore,it was found that the relaxation of theβ-Mg17Al12/α-Mg phase interfaces should give its contribution to the background internal friction in the as-cast,continuously precipitated and continuously-discontinuously precipitated specimens.

EFFECT OF AGING ON INTERNAL FRICTION,ELASTIC MODULUS AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF TERNARY Mn-Cu-Al ALLOYS

Internal friction and elastic modulus of ternary Mn-Cu-Al alloys containing 56—60 wt-% Mn,0-3.59 wt-% Al were measured with acoustic frequency,1 kHz,in the tempera- ture range of-150 to 150℃.It was found that when the specimen was aged in the temperature range under the spinodal curve within the miscibility gap(400—500℃),the internal fric- tion increases with an increase of the aging time and reaches a maximum value at a certain ag- ing time which is shorter with a higher aging temperature.Two internal friction peaks which did not appear before the aging were observed above room temperature after a definite aging time.These are respectively the martensitic tranformation peak and the relaxation peak orig- inating from the stress-induced movement of the twin boundaries.The former peak shifts to- ward higher temperatures with an increase of the aging time,whereas the relaxation peak ap- pearing at 15℃,is independent of the aging time and temperature.The activation energy as- sociated with the relaxation peak was found to be 0.56 eV which is about the same as that of the relaxation peak in binary alloy containing 90 wt-% Mn.It was also found that the hardness,strength and the brittleness of the specimen increase when aged below the spinodal curve within the miscibility gap.The addition or Al enhances the strength but reduces the in- ternal friction of the specimen.A choice of suitable aging time and temperature can give an optimum compromise of high strength and high internal friction.Analysis of experimental re- sults suggests that spinodal decomposition leads to Mn-rich zones in the specimen and thus causes the phase transformation and the change of mechanical properties of the specimen.

Internal Friction in Rail Waist of BNb and BNbRE Steels

The internal frictions of the specimens in the waist centre of the commercial BNb and BNbRE rails, which were left in air for two years, were measured. It is found that there is an obvious Snoek-Kê-Koester （SKK） peak in both steels, and still exists a measurable deformation-enhanced Shock peak（DESP） in the specimens of the BNbRE steel. The internal frictions in the deformed specimens of the both steel rails were also measured. Unlike the case of the tread specimens showing a decrease of SKK damping due to deformation, the SKK damping of the rail waist specimens increases after deformation; and the specimens containing rare earth（RE） show more noticeable damping increase than those without RE. The results of the internal friction measured during ascending and descending temperature under 700℃ show that there is a high temperature damping which can be completely disappeared during descending temperature for both steels.

Influence of temperature rate on transitory internal friction during reverse martensitic transformation for Ti_(50)Ni_(27)Cu_(23) alloy

Internal friction （IF） spectra during reverse martensitic transformation from 35 to 135°C at different temperature rates of 0.5,0.75,and 1°C/min for Ti50Ni27Cu23 shape memory alloy （SMA） samples were measured with a dynamic mechanical analyzer,respectively.The IF spectra were characterized by IF peak increasing progressively and peak shifting toward high temperature with an increase in temperature rate.An iterative approach was used to calculate the precise intrinsic and approximate transitory IF contributions to the normal IF spectrum.The quantitatively analyzed results indicate that the transitory IF of this alloy is nonlinearly dependent on the temperature rate and obeys a power law with a power coefficient of 0.55.The predicted and experimental IF spectra at different temperature rates of 0.75 and 1°C/min agree well with each other,respectively.

CHARACTERISTICS OF INTERNAL FRICTION AND MODULUS ASSOCIATED WITH NON-EQUILIBRIUM DIFFUSION-TYPE PHASE TRANSFORMATION IN EUTECTOID Al-Zn ALLOY

The characteristics of the low frequency internal friction and the modulus effect associated with the non-equilibrium spinodal pretransformation and the following discontinuous trans- formation was investigated in an as-quenched eutectiod Al-Zn alloy.It was observed that the loss of the stability in the lattice,which corresponded to the large-amplitude long-wavelength static concentration wave in the non-equilibrium spinodal pretransformation,did not induce any effect of localized soft modulus.Although there are two aging internal friction peaks in phase transformation which correspond to the appearance and disappearance of the coherency in spinodal pretransformation and the maximum of the interface area in the discontinuous transformation respectively,the effect of localized soft modulus did not take place yet.

SNOEK-Kê-K■STER PEAK OF INTERNAL FRICTION IN Fe-P-N ALLOYS

The internal friction and precipitate phases of the deformed Fe-P-N alloys have been investigated. It has been found that the ratio of depends on the content of P and the relation holds if the content of N is lower than 30wt.ppm and the content of P is lower than 640wt.ppm. It shows that the intercept K2 is related to the presence of the atomic pairs and clusters of P in the alloy matrix.

EFFECT OF SLIP ORIENTATION ON STRESS RESPONSE,INTERNAL FRICTION AND ULTRASONIC ATTENUATION DURING CYCLIC DEFORMATION IN Al SINGLE CRYSTALS

The variation of cyclic stress,internal friction and ultrasonic attenuation during cyclic deformation and relations among them have been investigated with different slip orientation Al single crystals.The results indicate that the value of cyclic stress σ,internal friction Q^(-1)and ultrasonic attenuation △α depend obviously on the slip orientation.There are large differences in above three parameters for different slip orientation Al crystals.In early stage of fatigue life,σ and △α increase and Q^(-1)decreases with cycles N,and △α reached maxi- mum before σ,while Q^(-1)and σ get the valley and the peak,respectively,at same cycles.

INTERNAL FRICTION OF GRAIN BOUNDARIES IN Fe-P AND Fe-P-La ALLOYS CONTAINING TRACE Cu

The grain boundary internal friction(GBIF)in Fe-P and Fe-P-La alloys containing trace Cu has been studied.It is found that an addition of 0.584—0.722 wt-% La obviously reduces the IF,shifts grain boundary peaks towards higher temperatures,and produces a small addi- tional peak at even higher temperature.The mechanism of GBIF is explained as the movement of defects of atomic size,namely point defects,at gram boundaries and/or their clusters un- der stress.

EFFECT OF BIAS STRESS ON NON-LINEAR INTERNAL FRICTION OF Al-Mg ALLOY

The influence of longitudinal and torsional bias stresses on anomalous amplitude-dependent internal friction was studied.The longitudinal bias stress may always weaken the anomalous amplitude-dependent effect,while the torsional one may induce different effects from differ- ent directions applied.Bias stress effect exhibits only in properly heat treated and cold worked ahoy specimens.The anomalous amplitude-dependent internal friction peaks,P_3,P_2 and P_1, are found to be related closely to slant dislocation kink chains.Thus,the application of bias stress to internal friction would be contributed to the study on dislocation structure.

The present investigation showed that the re- laxation peak at about 200℃ (f≈1Hz) was related to bainitic transformation in a CuZnAl alloy.The peak decreased when bainite precipitated.The activation energy of the peak was the same as the apparent activation energy of bainitic transforma- tion.According to the relations between the peak and the bainitic transformation,the mechanism of the peak has been discussed.

Internal Friction in a Shape Memory Alloy Cu-Zn-Al under Equilibrium Condition

1. Introduction CuZnAl shape memory alloys have beenextensively studied as a new type of material.Dejonghe[1]et al. firstly reported theirresults on the internal friction (IF) of CuZnAlalloys in 1975. Later, some researchershave done much work on internal friction.But most of them were concerned withphase transformation internal frictionof martensite and reverse martensite andfew of them were about internal friction

Study on Influence of Solute Atoms on Grain Boundary Character Distribution with Internal Friction Method

Based on the relationship between parameters of grain boundary internal friction peak (GBP) and grain boundary character distribution (GBCD), and the internal friction results of Al-Mg, Al-Ga, Al-Cu and Al-Zn alloys, the addition of different kinds of solute atoms has different effects on GBCD. Among them, Mg atoms are able to concentrate and stabilize GBCD in Al-Mg alloys. The origin of these effects of solute atoms on GBCD is also discussed.

Internal friction behavior of Zr_(59)Fe_(18)Al_(10)Ni_(10)Nb_(3)metallic glass under different aging temperatures

We investigate the role of aging temperature on relaxation of internal friction in Zr_(59)Fe_(18)Al_(10)Ni_(10)Nb_(3)metallic glass.For this purpose,dynamic mechanical analysis with different annealing temperatures and frequency values is applied.The results indicate that the aging process leads to decrease in the dissipated energy in the temperature range of glass transition.It is also found that the increase in applied frequency weakens the loss factor intensity in the metallic glass.Moreover,the Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts(KWW)equation is used to evaluate the evolution of internal friction during the aging process.According to the results,higher annealing temperature will make the primary internal friction in the material increase;however,a sharp decline is observed with the time.The drop in characteristic time of internal friction is also closely correlated to the rate of atomic rearrangement under the dynamic excitation so that at higher annealing temperatures,the driving force for the collaborative movement of atoms is easily provided and the mean relaxation time significantly decreases.

BIFURCATION OF A SHAFT WITH HYSTERETIC-TYPE INTERNAL FRICTION FORCE OF MATERIAL

The bifurcation of a shaft with hysteretic internal friction of material was analysed. Firstly, the differential motion equation in complex form was deduced using Hamilton principle. Then averaged equations in primary resonances were obtained using the averaging method. The stability of steady_state responses was also determined.Lastly, the bifurcations of both normal motion (synchronous whirl) and self_excited motion (non_synchronous whirl) were investigated using the method of singularity. The study shows that by a rather large disturbance, the stability of the shaft can be lost through Hopf bifurcation in case the stability condition is not satisfied. The averaged self_excited response appears as a type of unsymmetrical bifurcation with high orders of co_dimension. The second Hopf bifurcation, which corresponds to double amplitude_modulated response, can occur as the speed of the shaft increases. Balancing the shaft carefully to decrease its unbalance level and increasing the external damping are two effective methods to avoid the appearance of the self_sustained whirl induced by the hysteretic internal friction of material.

Internal Friction on the Bake-Hardening Behavior of 0.11C-1.67Mn-1.19Si TRIP Steel

The bake-hardening （BH） values and the ＂internal friction-temperature＂ spectrums were studied for the baked 0.11C-1.67Mn-1.19Si TRIP （transformation induced plasticity） specimens with 0%, 2% and 6% prestrain. Results show that the experimental TRIP steel deserves good bake-hardening ability and Cottrell atmosphere is the reason for its bake hardening characteristic. It is also concluded that both the number and the saturation degree of Cottrell atmosphere might affect the BH value of TRIP steel.

EFFECT OF RARE EARTH ON MEDIUM-TEMPERATURE INTERNAL FRICTION OF COMMERCIALLY PURE IRON

The strong effect of rare earth(RE)on medium-temperature internal friction(IF)of commercially pure iron is closely related to the heat treatment.The RE added into iron has an alloying effect.The Snoek-Ke-Kster(briefly SKK)peak lower as the aging temperature in- creases from 150℃ to 450℃,but it still exists even aged at 600℃.However,the SKK peak temperature T_p does not simply falls as the ascending of aging temperature,it rises again at 600℃ aging.
