Is there any model about anchor damping in COMSOL?

Hi everyone

I am a beginner in COMSOL and I want to calculte the anchor-loss-limited Q in MEMS resonator (square plate resonator which has four anchors at its four corners). I think the perfectly matched layers (PMLs) should be used to absorp the outgoing elastic energy. Could anyone share a model about anchor damping? Thanks.

Hi James,

You can refer to the attached paper. In this paper, the material properties that you can enter for the Matched Layer is mentioned.:

Good luck,
Amir

Hi Amir

Thanks for your help. I have one question for this paper. Do you know how to calculate the attenuation constant alpha? The author of this paper sets it to 3 but gives no reason.

Regards,

James

James:

I think you have figure that out by yourself. It is geometry dependent and for high Q-factors you require a different a than 3. Play with mesh size and a and see when your result converges.

Hello,

Can you guys tell me how to calculate Q-factor using Eigen frequency analysis? Basically I have cantilever beam, but I do not how to calculate Q-factor.

Thanks
