Temperature Dependent Viscous Drag in Close-packed Metals

Abstract

The influence of viscous drag on dislocation motion in close-packed metals is examined. Three experimental measurements of the viscous drag are discussed, i.e. internal friction, strain rate versus stress, and stress-time-displacement measurements. Experimental results of each of these methods are compared. Theories of dislocation-phonon and dislocation-electron interactions leading to viscous drag are briefly described. The experimentally-determined dislocation drag coefficient is qualitatively in agreement with the predictions of damping through dislocation-phonon interactions. It is concluded that additional theoretical work is needed for a quantitative comparison of theory and experiment. Additional experimental work to determine the temperature dependence of the drag coefficient below 66°K is needed to resolve discrepancies in different theories of the dislocation-electron interaction.
