Fabricated and friction test anisotropy material of ultrasonic motor

The twisters for composed of anisotropic material were designed and manufactured.And two kinds of directional-composites were made:one was fiber direction vertical with frictional interface and another was parallel with frictional interface and moving direction.By varying the proportions of epoxy resin and fiber and arranging the orientations of fiber,the composites anisotropy along longitudinal and circumferential were got.Using density measurement,the mass fraction of resin and fiber were calculated.According to composite mesoscopic mechanics,the elasticity constants of composite were analyzed and calculated.The composite different thicknesses were sliced,and attach to the rotor,then the load characteristics,no-load speed,stop load of ultrasonic motor(USM) were test.The output properties of USM with 0.6 mm thickness composite were superior.The effect of friction material on ultrasonic motor was analyzed.Elastic modulus,thickness and micro-morphology of material are main factors which affect characteristics of ultrasonic motor.
