The average modified molecular gas lubrication (MMGL) equation, which is modified with pressure flow factors and effective viscosity, is utilized to analyze the squeeze film damping (SFD) on micro-beam resonators considering effect of surface roughness pattern in various types of gases and gas rarefaction. Then, effect of surface roughness pattern (film thickness ratio and Peklenik number) is discussed on the quality factor (Q-factor) of micro-beam resonators in various types of gases and gas rarefaction. Thus, effect of surface roughness pattern is significantly reduced as effective viscosity of gas decreases in higher mode of resonator and higher gas rarefaction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
