Introduction • Internal Friction: the force that resists the motion of the elements in a solid while it undergoes deformation
Introduction • Shear Modulus: the ratio of shear stress to the shear strain; describes the material's response to shear stress • Higher shear modulus results in less deformation from force
Introduction • Torsion Pendulum: torsion wire is free to twist about its axis, causing the disk to rotate, associated with mechanical deformation
Experiment • Twist wire to initiate torsional oscillation • Measure frequency of oscillation • Measure amount of damping of oscillation
Calculations Internal Friction 1/20 [ln(T0/T20)] T0 T20
Calculations • Shear Modulus =r f = frequency in Hz p = Period in seconds G = Shear Modulus I = Moment of Inertia =L
Crystal Structure • Steel is Body Centered Cubic (BCC) • Carbon atoms occupy interstitial sites
Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) • Oscillating stress is applied, strain is measured • Frequency of oscillation or temp is altered • Output: Frequency (hz) vs Probe position (mm) graph
Comparison of Shear Modulus and Internal Friction in Five Metals Dimensions 0.064” 30.0625”
Conclusion/Application • The shear modulus- important when materials will be subjected to shear stress • The internal friction- important in applications like airplane engines (subjected to vibrations)
