Increase in internal friction in uranium with change in temperature

On the basis of the previously described increase in internal friction in uranium during heating, a semiquantitative evaluation was made of the dependence of increase in internal friction on the rate of heating, frequency and amplitude of vibrations. The results of the calculations agree satisfactorily with data obtained experimentally. A study was made of the effect of the initial state of the specimen on the increase in internal friction at the initial stages of heating.
