Abstract

The internal friction in a Cu-Zn-AI shape memory alloy has been studied in various microstructural states in a wide range of stress amplitude. Simultaneous measurements of the corresponding shape change indicate correlations between internal friction and the deformation mechanisms. It is found that the observed stress-amplitude dependence of the internal friction cannot be represented by a single formalism. Rather, in different ranges of stress amplitude, where the internal friction mechanisms are different, separate formalisms are applicable. The comparison of the experimental results with a previously developed theory is presented.
