Why is Thermoelastic Damping Important in Nanotechnology?
Thermoelastic damping is crucial in nanotechnology because it directly affects the quality factor (Q-factor) of resonant devices. The Q-factor is a measure of the energy loss relative to the energy stored in the system. High TED can lead to low Q-factors, reducing the efficiency and sensitivity of sensors, actuators, and other resonant devices at the nanoscale.
