What Are the Applications Affected by Thermoelastic Damping?
Thermoelastic damping impacts a wide range of applications in nanotechnology:
Resonators: High-Q resonators used in filters, oscillators, and frequency references are significantly affected by TED. Sensors: MEMS and NEMS sensors, such as accelerometers and gyroscopes, rely on high Q-factors for sensitivity and stability. Actuators: Devices that convert energy into mechanical motion, such as piezoelectric or electrostatic actuators, can experience performance degradation due to TED.
