Through comparison of numerical results with theoretical and experimental results available in literature we aimed to contribute to the research and understanding of the physical phenomena occurring in these recently developed devices, putting under question some of the previous results and opening to new possibile interpretations and discussions.suspended microchannel resonatorsFEM modelingenergy dissipationquality factorfluid structure interactiontext::conference output::conference poster not in proceedings
