Description

All real materials in one way or another, exhibit a departure from ideal elastic behaviour, even at very small strain values.�Under cyclic deformation, these departtures result in irreversible energy losses in material.� The causes of such losses are many, and include the irreversible�transfer of mechanical energy into heat, growth of cracks and other defects, and the microplastic deformaton of crystals to name a few.� Several terms have been suggested to define these phenomena including damping, energy dissipation, imperfect elasticity and internal friction.� This book is about materials damping; with damping or energy dissipation processes in vibrating solids.Typham this is the title: Energy Dissipation in Composite Materials 1st Edition
