We investigate the jamming transition observed in vibrated granular systems composed of millimeter size glass beads. When a granular system is submitted to vibrations with decreasing intensity, it evolves in a way similar to glass-forming liquids: from a low viscosity, liquid-like state, it evolves into an amorphous jammed state. This evolution is observed by the means of an immersed oscillator acting as a torsion pendulum in forced mode. The complex susceptibility of the oscillator is measured as a function of the probe forcing frequency and of the vibration intensity. Focusing on the strongly vibrated states, we observe that there are two different dynamic regions. The first is a high fluidization regime, where the internal friction is found to be proportional to the ratio between the pulsation and the vibration intensity: . In this region, the system shows an apparent viscous friction . In the second, low fluidization, regime, we observe a more complex behavior, and the measured internal friction appears to be well described by a relation of the form: . In this second case, the key role is played by a critical breakaway stress, σcr, needed to break the network of chains of forces that form between the grains. Finally, if vibration intensities are still reduced, we also observe that onset of jamming is clearly distinguishable: we observe a sharp increase in the apparent dynamic modulus together with a peak in internal friction. This transition presents important similarities to those observed in glasses, and it leads to the second (low vibrations) regime, where the key role is played by the square root of the vibration intensity.

The ferromagnetic amorphous phase in rapidly solidified Nd60Fe30Al10 glass forming alloys is investigated in melt spun ribbons (100 µm thick) and in chill cast cylinders (2 mm diameter). The amorphous resulting for these two different quenching rates were characterized by their room temperature hysteresis loops, magnetization and differential calorimetric measurements in the temperature range 300K-900K. The mechanical damping was explored in the 300-560 K temperature range, by measuring the internal friction and the shear modulus in a forced inverted pendulum operating in the frequency range 0.1-10Hz. Simultaneously, the electrical resistance of the samples was measured. The internal friction spectra of both, ribbons and a cylinder, exhibit a local maximum at about 500K, arising in a relaxation mechanism. After some thermal cycles the peak parameters stabilize reaching an apparent activation enthalpy of 1.5 eV and a limit relaxation time τ0 ≈ 0.4-2.5 . 10-17s. In both samples, the electrical resistance largely decreases during the first heating run to 560K and remains unchanged during subsequent thermal cycles. No changes in the elastic modulus or in the damping properties are detected at the Curie temperature of the alloys.

For hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) films deposited at temperatures between 423 K and 623 K (a-Si:H423Kand so on), the light-induced changes in the internal friction between 80 K and 400 K were studied. The internal friction is associated with H2motion in microvoid networks, and shows the mild temperature dependence between about 80 K and 300 K (Q-180-300K) and the almost linear increase above 300 K (Q-1>300K). BothQ-180-300KandQ-1>300Kdecrease with increasing the deposition temperature, and show the mild temperature dependence ina-Si:H623K. The white light soaking with 100 mW/cm2(WLS100and so on) below 300 K caused a change inQ-180-300Kand no changes inQ-1>300K, respectively, and the light-induced changes inQ-180-300Krecovered after annealing at 423 K. The wide distribution of activation energies for H2motions between microvoids indicate that most of neighboring microvoids are connected through windows, i.e., the microvoid networks are existing ina-Si:H, and the spatially loose or solid structures are responsible for the low or high activation energies for the H2motion between microvoids, respectively. Furthermore, the light-induced hydrogen evolution (LIHE) was observed for WLS200to WLS400in a vacuum between 400 and 500 K, resulting in the disappearance of the internal friction due to the H2motion in the microvoid network.

The internal friction (IF) behaviors of a series of LaCe-, Zr-, and La-based bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) were studied by a computer-controlled, conventional inverted torsion pendulum. The results indicate that with an increasing temperature, the IF also increases gradually in the supercooled liquid region, followed by a decrease caused by crystallization. BMGs with a good glass forming ability (GFA) usually possess a high IF peak value for an alloy system with the same constituent elements. Furthermore, the magnitude of the IF value (Qi−1) of the inflection point is an efficient criterion of GFA. The Qi−1 value is a valid criterion under the conditions of identical constituent elements and different element contents. However, Qi−1 and GFA have no relationship among different alloy systems.

Internal friction peaks observed in single or polycrystals are clearly due to a dislocation relaxation mechanism. Because a sample observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) often exhibits in the same time various dislocation microstructures (isolated dislocations, dislocation walls, etc.) it is very difficult to connect the observed relaxation peak with a particular dislocation microstructure. Using isothermal mechanical spectroscopy (IMS), it is easier to compare, for instance, the evolution of a relaxation peak with measurement temperature to the microstructural evolution observed by in-situ TEM at the same temperatures. IMS was used to study a relaxation peak in a 5N aluminium single crystal firstly 1% cold worked and then annealed at various temperatures. TEM experiments performed in the same material at various temperatures equal to the temperatures used for the damping experiments made possible to link this internal friction peak with a relaxation effect occurring inside dislocation walls. In two other experiments in a 4N aluminium polycrystal and in a metal matrix composite with SiC whiskers, it is shown that the observed relaxation peaks are connected to the motion of dislocations inside polygonization boundaries in the first case and in dislocation pile-ups around each whisker in the second one. Theoretical models proposed to explain such relaxation peaks due to a dislocation motion inside a dislocation wall or network are discussed.

Abstract The parametric OMI (Optimization in Multiple Intervals), the Yoshida-Magalas (YM) and a novel Hilbert-twin (H-twin) methods are advocated for computing the logarithmic decrement in the field of internal friction and mechanical spectroscopy of solids. It is shown that dispersion in experimental points results mainly from the selection of the computing methods, the number of oscillations, and noise. It is demonstrated that conventional Hilbert transform method suffers from high dispersion in internal friction values. It is unequivocally demonstrated that the Hilbert-twin method, which yields a ‘true envelope’ for exponentially damped harmonic oscillations is superior to conventional Hilbert transform method. The ‘true envelope’ of free decaying strain signals calculated from the Hilbert-twin method yields excellent estimation of the logarithmic decrement in metals, alloys, and solids.

Coarse Grained Soil

The researchers cannot control the composition and structure of coarse grained soil in the indoor experiment because the granular particles of different size have the characteristics of random distribution and no sorting. Therefore, on the basis of the laboratory tests with the coarse grained soil, the HHC-Granular model, which could simulate the no sorting and random distribution of different size particles in the coarse-grained soil, was developed by use of cellular automata method. Meanwhile, the triaxial numerical simulation experiments of coarse grained soil were finished with the different composition and structure soil, and the variation of shear strength was discussed. The results showed that the internal friction angle was likely to reduce with the increasing of gravel contents in the coarse-grained soil, but the mean internal friction angle significantly increased with the increment of gravel contents. It indicated that the gravel contents of shear bands were the major factor affecting the shear strength.

The internal friction of the hyperstabilized martensite demonstrates very low values, both above and below the nominal martensitic transformation temperature, due to a pronounced pinning effect. Over a wide temperature range it is comparable with the level of damping in the parent phase. A study of the temperature dependence of the non-linear ultrasonic internal friction and its strain amplitude hysteresis indicates that the diffusion, assisted by dislocations/interfaces, is quite pronounced and in Ni-Fe-Ga and Cu-Al-Be alloys it operates at temperatures around 20 K. The renucleation of the lamellar parent phase during the reverse martensitic transformation close to 600 K is accompanied by an internal friction peak which demonstrates a substantial transitory contribution. After renucleation of the parent phase the samples recover a conventional martensitic transformation with the internal friction level in the martensite comparable to the one in non-stabilized samples. Observations of a relaxation peak in the parent phase of different alloys for temperatures just below the renucleation stage of the reverse transformation point to the essential role of diffusion in the nucleation of the parent phase in hyperstabilized martensites.
