Analysis of capacitance ratio of a rectangular X-cut length-extensional mode quartz crystal resonator by stresses
Abstract:
The electrical properties of an X-cut, length-extensional mode quartz crystal resonator of a cut angle theta around the X-axis were calculated by a variational method using stresses as trial functions. Analytical expressions of stresses were estimated by a linear regression on a cut angle best-fit to the results of finite-element method. The calculated dependence of the capacitance ratio on the cut angle was consistent with the measured results.

RLC Circuit as a Damped Oscillator
Consider a series RLC circuit. Here, the presence of resistance in the circuit leads to energy loss due to joule heating in the resistance. Therefore, the total electromagnetic energy in the circuit is no longer constant and decreases with time. Since the magnitude of charge, current, and potential difference continuously decreases, their oscillations are said to be damped. This is...
