Thermal Cycling, Mechanical Degradation, and the Effective Figure of Merit of a Thermoelectric Module

Thermoelectric modules experience performance reduction and mechanical failure due to thermomechanical stresses induced by thermal cycling. The present study subjects a thermoelectric module to thermal cycling and evaluates the evolution of its thermoelectric performance through measurements of the...
