Abstract

The governing equations of flexural vibrations in a transversely isotropic thermoelastic beam are derived in closed form based on Euler–Bernoulli theory. The out-of- plane vibrations have been studied under different beam dimensions and boundary conditions. The analytical expressions for thermoelastic damping and frequency shift of vibrations are obtained. The damping and frequency shift of beam vibrations significantly depend on thermal relaxation time and surface conditions at resonance. The expressions for displacement and temperature fields in the beam resonator are obtained. Some numerical results with help of MATLAB software have been computed and presented graphically for silicon material beams.
