We analyzed the quality factor of a quartz-crystal tuning fork using an L-shaped bar model that consisted of two bars depicting the right half of the tuning fork and a torsion spring at the joint of its arm and base bars. An analysis of the quality factor showed that the calculated quality factor is lower by approximately 10% of that calculated by a cantilever model and is closer to the measured quality factor.
