“…For the intermittent type ultrasonic motor, the micro push of vibrator to rotor is determined by the motion trajectory of the contact point, and the vibration amplitude alone cannot determine the work that the vibrator does to rotor. Some of the previous works on the optimal design of piezoelectric actuators (Silva, 2000; Bouchilloux and Uchino, 2003; Silva, 2003; Fernandez and Perriard, 2006; Flueckiger et al , 2007; Rho et al , 2007) only take the vibration amplitude in one direction into consideration, while the vibration amplitude in another direction and the phase difference between two directions are not considered. In this paper, the work that vibrator does to rotor is calculated as objective function.…”
