Design and Analysis of a Thermoelectric Module to Improve the Operational Life

This work proposes a method for reducing mechanical stresses induced in thermoelectric (TE) structure to increase the operational life of the device. For this purpose, based on preliminary studies of the deformation and stress contours of existing thermoelectric modules, a new circular arrangement f...
