A study of the effect of the crystal orientation on the internal friction of magnesium single crystals.

Abstract

"The method of growing, etching, and cutting magnesium single crystals is described in some detail. Ten single crystals of magnesium of different orientations were prepared and studied. The internal friction and relative Young’s modulus were measured for each specimen as a function of applied stress on a quartz composite oscillator. The effect of the orientation on the strain amplitude independent decrement, the strain amplitude dependent decrement and the ratio of the strain amplitude dependent decrement to the relative Young's modulus is compared to the theory of the pinned dislocation model of Granato and Lücke"--Abstract, p. ii
