Abstract
A calculation model for predicting the temperature characteristics of the double-layered resonator (DRL) was developed by using the total strain ratio including the influence of the waves reflected at the bonding boundary. The validity of the model proposed was examined from the comparison between the measured and calculated results for a DRL specimen consisting of 129.55°Y- and 0°Y-quartz substrates. The calculation results of the model proposed demonstrated that it is possible to predict the trends of changes in experimental values of temperature characteristics not only in the 1st-order mode but also in the higher-order modes. In addition, the changes in the particle displacement distribution and temperature characteristics of the DLR obtained by the model proposed were also in good agreement with the results of finite element method analysis. The proposed model is expected to greatly contribute to the design of DLRs with high excitation efficiency and excellent temperature characteristics.
