In this work, the thermoelastic dissipation (TED) for circular-cross-sectional micro/nanoring model is studied including the single-phase-lag (SPL) time based on the non-Fourier heat conduction model. The toroidal solid ring is simple to manufacture and thus the potential is high for future development. Also, the present model is more precise than the 1D or 2D beam or rectangular-cross-sectional ring because the governing equation is established by 3D coordinate system. Moreover, the SPL shows the delay time of heat-flux and is especially important in cryogenic or ultrafast-vibration environments. In this regard, characteristics of the TED is mainly analyzed according to the lagging time, geometrical shape, mode number and temperature, etc. Using the experimental data in literatures, the effectiveness of this work is verified to represent the investigations. The spectra of the TED with the phenomenon of multiple peaks are presented, and then the results can be grouped and compared with previous works. Moreover, the temperature distribution is graphically described to explain the SPL mechanism.
