Abstract
WHEN metals are submitted to stress, the stress/swain relation is generally regarded as consisting of two parts, the elastic region and the region bfsplastiwin which a permanent set remains upon the remova of the stress. In the elastic region the absence of a permanent set does not necessarily imply that the relation between stress and strain is linear of even single-valued. Prof. Zener uses the term ‘anelasticity’ to describe the properties of solids, as a result of which stress and strain are not uniquely related. Examples are the elastic after-effect, the dependence of elastic constants on the method of measurement, and the dissipation of energy during vibration, which is often referred to as the damping capacity or internal friction of a solid. These effects have aroused much interest in recent years, largely owing to Prof. Zener's own work, and a good book on the subject is much to be desired.
