After setting out their materials and method, they cover the structure and
anelasticity of the three intermetallic compounds, anelastic relaxation mechanisms in iron and its alloys, and ternary iron-based alloys: structure induced
anelasticity.
Topics of individual papers include computer simulations of the interaction of junction disclinations in nanomaterials with grain boundary vacancies, nonlinear corrected interactions of mesodefects and transition to macro-fracturing, high temperature mechanical characteristics of zirconia reinforced with carbon nanotubes or silicon carbide whiskers, the effects of heat treatment on acoustic properties of chromium polycrystals at low temperatures, iron alloys, investigation of the structure and properties of polymer layers on substrates through mechanical spectroscopy, lipidic aggregates, chemical spectroscopy of oil films on metallic and neutral substrates, and a history of the Russian study of
anelasticity in solids.
