An ultrasonic motor as a kind of smart material drive actuator has potential in robots, aerocraft, medical operations, etc. The size of the ultrasonic motor and complex circuit limits the further application of ultrasonic motors. In this paper, a single-phase driven ultrasonic motor using Bending-Bending vibrations is proposed, which has advantages in structure miniaturization and circuit simplification. Hybrid bending vibration modes were used, which were excited by only single-phase voltage. The working principle based on an oblique line trajectory is illustrated. The working bending vibration modes and resonance frequencies of the bending vibration modes were calculated by the finite element method to verify the feasibility of the proposed ultrasonic motor. Additionally, the output performance was evaluated by experiment. This paper provides a single-phase driven ultrasonic motor using Bending-Bending vibrations, which has advantages in structure miniaturization and circuit simplification.

This article deals with the mathematical–analytical model of a radially polarised stator, part of a piezoelectric travelling wave ultrasonic motor based on the shear effect. The stator is treated with a Reissner–Mindlin plate model containing piezoelectric terms. The so-obtained mathematical description of the disc stator takes into account its geometry, kinematics and characteristics that influence efficiency and torque. Rayleigh–Ritz discretisation is used to obtain eigenfrequencies and eigenmodes of the stator plate. In addition, there are often teeth over the contact surface of ring-shaped stators to minimise the friction losses during operation of the motor, and possible vibration modes are compared with respect to the deflexion of the contact points. In the laboratory, measured eigenfrequencies of the free vibrations of the plate corroborate the numerical method. Particularly, the generation of travelling waves requests the excitation of two degenerated vibration modes in a certain electrode configuration. A voltage inverter was designed for this purpose.

A new ring-type linear ultrasonic motor is proposed in this study. In this new design, bending vibration traveling wave is generated in a long ring by two groups of PZT ceramics bonded on the inner sides of the linear beams. Elliptical trajectory motions can be formed at particles on the teeth, which can realize the linear driving by frictional force. The working principle of the proposed design is introduced. Two bending vibration modes that have a phase difference of 90deg on space are analyzed. The elliptical motion trajectory of node on the tooth gained by the transient analysis verifies the excitation of bending traveling wave. A prototype motor is fabricated and measured, and a maximum speed of 15mm/s is reached.

Torsional-vibration modes are uncoupled from the bending and extensional modes in thin shells of revolution. The solution for the uncoupled torsional modes then depends upon a linear second-order differential equation. The governing equation is subsequently solved for the frequencies of a conical shell. A tabulation of the first five frequencies for varying ratios of the terminal radii is presented. These frequencies are identical to those of an annular plate which has the same supports as the conical shell.
