The FEA of the Multy-Layered ultrasonic motor

적층형 초음파 모터의 유한요소해석

In this paper, stacked piezoelectric ceramics were used for obtaining a large vibration for a small ultrasonic motor which is useable for the both linear drive and rotational drive. We studied this motor through the finite element analysis method and the simulated driving characteristics were presented. As results, the displacement of the tip of the stator was increased when the layers of the ceramics were increased. Also, by inserting additional aluminum plates between the ceramics and the aluminum bar, the displacement were amplified. In this model, two voltages which have 90 degree phase difference were applied for the bi-directional movement.
