✦ Synopsis

The level of activity in the field of internal friction has grown rapidly since the meeting at Brown University in September 1956. In the summer of 1960, a group of workers in this field, brought together by one of the Gordon Research Conferences, agreed that another conference on internal friction would be very timely. As a result of that discussion, a conference committee consisting of the undersigned was formed and plans were made for a meeting in July 1961 to be held at Cornell University. The decision to keep the conference small was made early in the planning so as to avoid simultaneous sessions and to maximize interactions between people with common interests. This meant that the scope of the subject matter would have to be restricted and accordingly, the subject matter was limited to internal friction phenomena arising from crystal lattice imperfections. It was also decided that papers dealing only with applications of internal friction, rather than the achievement of a more complete understanding of the phenomena, would be excluded. The subject matter was then divided into four parts, as follows:

Part I. Effects Due to Point Defects.
