@inproceedings{9784, abstract = {{Piezoelectric inertia motors use the inertia of a body to drive it by means of a friction contact in a series of small steps. These motors can operate in ``stick-slip'' or ``slip-slip'' mode, with the fundamental frequency of the driving signal ranging from several Hertz to more than 100 kHz. To predict the motor characteristics, a Coulomb friction model is sufficient in many cases, but numerical simulation requires microscopic time steps. This contribution proposes a much faster simulation technique using one evaluation per period of the excitation signal. The proposed technique produces results very close to those of timestep simulation for ultrasonics inertia motors and allows direct determination of the steady-state velocity of an inertia motor from the motion profile of the driving part. Thus it is a useful simulation technique which can be applied in both analysis and design of inertia motors, especially for parameter studies and optimisation.}}, author = {{Hunstig, Matthias and Hemsel, Tobias and Sextro, Walter}}, booktitle = {{Ultrasonics Symposium (IUS), 2012 IEEE International}}, issn = {{1948-5719}}, keywords = {{friction, ultrasonic motors, Coulomb friction model, efficient simulation technique, friction contact, high-frequency piezoelectric inertia motor, motor characteristics prediction, numerical simulation, slip-slip mode, stick-slip mode, time-step simulation, ultrasonic inertia motor, Acceleration, Acoustics, Actuators, Computational modeling, Friction, Numerical models, Steady-state}}, pages = {{277--280}}, title = {{{An efficient simulation technique for high-frequency piezoelectric inertia motors}}}, doi = {{10.1109/ULTSYM.2012.0068}}, year = {{2012}}, } @inproceedings{9519, abstract = {{Several positioning tasks demand translatory drive instead of rotary motion. To achieve drives that are capable e.g. to drive the sunroof of a car or to lift a car's window, multiple miniaturized motors can be combined. But in this case many other questions arise: the electromechanical behavior of the individual motors differs slightly, the motor characteristics are strongly dependent on the driving parameters and the driven load, many applications need some extra power for special cases like overcoming higher forces periodically. Thus, the bundle of motors has to act well organized and controlled to get an optimized drive that is not oversized and costly.}}, author = {{Hemsel, Tobias and Mracek, Maik and Wallaschek, Jörg and Vasiljev, Piotr}}, booktitle = {{Ultrasonics Symposium, 2004 IEEE}}, issn = {{1051-0117}}, keywords = {{drives, electromechanical effects, linear motors, ultrasonic motors, car sunroof, car window, electromechanical behavior, high power ultrasonic linear motors, multiple miniaturized motors, positioning tasks, translatory drive, Costs, Electromagnetic forces, Frequency, Laboratories, Manufacturing, Mechatronics, Micromotors, Ultrasonic imaging, Vibrations, Voltage}}, number = {{Vol.2}}, pages = {{1161--1164}}, title = {{{A novel approach for high power ultrasonic linear motors}}}, doi = {{10.1109/ULTSYM.2004.1417988}}, volume = {{2}}, year = {{2004}}, } @inproceedings{8915, abstract = {{Ultrasonic linear motors have now been investigated for several years.
