Thermoelastic Damping in Micro- and Nano-Mechanical Systems.

Abstract: The importance of thermoelastic damping as a fundamental dissipation mechanism for small-scale mechanical resonators is evaluated in light of recent efforts to design high-Q micrometer- and nanometer-scale electromechanical systems. The equations of linear thermoelasticity are used to give a simple derivation for thermoelastic damping of small flexural vibrations in thin beams. It is shown that Zener’s well-known approximation by a Lorentzian with a single thermal relaxation time slightly deviates from the exact expression.

Size-dependent vibration of a microplate under the action of a moving load based on the modified couple stress theory

TL;DR: In this article, a forced vibration analysis of a microplate subjected to a moving load is presented, which is based on the modified couple stress theory in conjunction with Kirchhoff-love plate theory.
