Analysis of a one-dimensional nonlinear mechanical model and its application to the qualitative explanation of the visco-elastic behavior of aluminum from sonic tests

The sonic testing method employed in this thesis provides data for the calculation of several of the mechanical properties or aluminum and for a qualitative analysis of the visco-elastic behavior of this material. Young's modulus of elasticity is determined for aluminum bars with various leng...
