Abstract

This paper deals with the thermo-elastic damping (TED) due to the temperature change in a beam when it is in a resonant condition. Based on previous references, the analytical formulation for TED of a resonant thin beam was derived, and then TED was expressed as a function of the geometry of the beam, especially, its thickness. It was clearly shown that TED of a resonant beam is significantly varied for different thickness. Finally, the worst thickness of the beam has been identified in regard to the high-Q factor, and the result was compared to the finite element analysis.
