Dissertation Enhancement in Japan: Analytical Modeling of Ultrasonic Traveling Wave Motors

9600401 Huebner Stutts该奖项支持为日本东京工业大学(TIT)的James R.Friend先生颁发为期6个月的国家科学基金会论文增强奖。Friend先生将与TIT的资深科学家Sadayuki Ueha博士合作开展一个名为“超声波行波电机的分析建模”的研究项目。研究的主要目的是对超声行波电机进行分析建模，并构建模型的工作原型。压电式行波电机有望在广泛的应用中取代分数马力电机。首席研究人员已经建立了一个压电马达的理论模型，虽然比日本目前正在开发的模型要慢，但在预测马达运行的物理行为方面要准确得多。美国和日本的科学家在一个涉及相互兼容的理论的项目上的合作将允许开发更有效的模型以及实际工作电机的设计、组装和操作。***

9600401 Huebner Stutts This award supports a 6 month National Science Foundation Dissertation Enhancement Award for Mr. James R. Friend at the Tokyo Institute of Technology (TIT), Tokyo, Japan. Mr. Friend, will work with Dr. Sadayuki Ueha, senior scientist at TIT, on a research project entitled, "Analytical Modeling of Ultrasonic Traveling Wave Motors". The main objective of the research is to both perform analytical modeling of ultrasonic traveling wave motors and construct working prototypes of the models. Piezoelectric traveling wave motors provide promise for replacing fractional horsepower motors in a wide variety of applications. The primary investigator has created a theoretical model of a piezoelectric motor that, while slower than those currently being developed in Japan, is far more accurate in its prediction of the physical behavior of the motor's operation. Cooperation between scientists in the United States and Japan on a project involving mutually compatible theories would allow the development of more effective models as well as the design, assembly, and operation of actual working motors. ***
