Abstract
This paper provides a general framework for modeling bonded-type piezoelectric linear motors considering the stress transferred by adhesive layer. A three-dimensional static model of stator is first developed by the principle of minimum potential energy and finite element. The stress transferred by adhesive layer could be simulated and analyzed for arbitrary bonding conditions. Basing on the static stress-transfer analysis, a quasi-static stress acted to substrate by piezoelectric elements is assumed and integrated into the substrate dynamic model. A pure mechanical dynamic model is developed for the electromechanical coupling system of stator. Furthermore, the whole-machine dynamic model of motor is presented by incorporating the frictional contact force into the dynamic model of the stator and an analytical model of the mover. Finally, a bonded-type piezoelectric linear motor with V-shaped stator is investigated as an example for simulations and experiments. The methodology presented here for simulating the transferred load of adhesive layer in bonded-type piezoelectric motor as well as for estimating the vibration characteristics of stator and output performances of motor. It is believed that the proposed method would be helpful to design and manufacture the prototypes due to the wider applicability of allowing for irregular geometry and any bonding conditions.
