Open publisher page 6 citations

Abstract

A device which gives a torsional pendulum either constant-amplitude oscillations or a constant energy is described. The values of internal friction can be found by measuring a current or the amplitude of the oscillations. A Snoek damping peak measured in this way is presented.
