摘要
This paper presents a numerical model of thermoelastic damping (TED) in prestressed micromechanical resonators. The numerical model of TED consists of three sequential simulations: static simulation for prestressing a resonator, elastic vibration simulation for obtaining the related vibration parameters of the resonant mode of interest, and transient heat conduction for calculating TED occurring during one vibration time period. This model is implemented in the MEMS Module of finite element analysis software, COMSOL. It is verified with flexural-mode beam resonators. The simulation results suggest that TED does not vary much with low prestress level, but increases significantly at a high prestress level for micromechanical resonators operating in flexural-mode.
