Micromirrors are used in certain MEMS devices to control optic elements. This model of a
vibrating micromirror surrounded by air uses the Thermoacoustic-Shell Interaction user
interface to model the fluid-solid interaction. The model thus includes the correct viscous
and thermal damping of the mirror from the surrounding air. The Q-factor and attenuation
coefficient are determined using both a frequency sweep and an eigenfrequency study.
