Resonant behaviour of damped beam

[laxman.kosuru]

hi all
i have a problem in finding the quality factor of cantilever beam (one end is fixed and other end is free ) vibrating in air /other medium? how the qualtiy factor expression for beam is calculated? whether all these expressions applicable to micro and nano cantilevers.
please explain me.
i am new to this area. i read books on vibrations of beam. i didnt get anything
please mention steps for finding quality factor of cantilever beam in air medium(damped system)
Thanks

Your first step is to define the loading, including self mass.

The quality factor Q is a measure of the sharpness of a peak of resonance and also the damping.

For small values of the damping factor \zeta, that is, \zeta \leq 0.1,

<br /> Q = \frac{1}{2 \zeta}<br />

For mechanical systems, it is useful to get a measure of the equivalent viscous damping. In your case, it might be related to the fluid around the beam.

A good reference is:

Thanks jolile
could you please give me the expression for cantilever q factor in air medium
