Functionally graded (FG) sandwich structures stand as one of the most representative composite structures owing to the thermal resistance and the energy absorption property in non-unfiorm thermal environment. Additionally, accurately estimating thermoelastic damping (TED) is of great importance for the design of high-performance micro/nano-resonators. Nevertheless, the classical TED models fail on the micro/nano-scale structures due to without considering the influences of the spatial size-dependent effects related to heat transfer and elastic deformation. The nonlocal heat conduction model and modified coupled stress theory are responsible for the size-dependent effects. To address this issue, present study aims to conduct the size-dependent TED model of FG sandwich microbeam resonators for TED analysis by incorporating the nonlocal dual-phase-lag (NDPL) heat conduction model and the modified coupled stress theory (MCST). It is assumed that the FG sandwich microbeam resonators consist of a ceramic core and FG surfaces. The energy equation and the transverse motion equation are formulated, and then, the analytical solution is solved by complex frequency method. Exact and closed-form expressions for TED can be obtained through the complex frequency method. The results are validated, and the parameter effects of the nonlocal thermal parameter, the material length-scale parameter, the power-law index and the vibration modes on the TED are analyzed. The results show that the energy dissipation can be reduced by the size-dependent effects resulting in improving the quality factor of microstructures. It is expected that these results may provide a theoretical basis for predicating TED in the design of FG sandwich micro/nano-resonators with high quality factor in extreme heat transfer environment.
