This article presents a high-efficient thermal analysis methodology and outlines a set of useful design guidelines for high-power linear ultrasonic motors. A thermal network modeling technique is introduced to rapidly calculate the temperature rise for a typical high-power linear ultrasonic motor with a V-shaped stator. First, a six-terminal equivalent circuit for Langevin piezoelectric transducer considering the prestress bolt loss and all three losses in piezoelectrics is proposed to calculate the stator loss. Then, the calculated losses along with the friction loss are used as inputs into the developed thermal network model to calculate the temperature rise of critical parts of the motor. Furthermore, an analytical mechanical model combined with the proposed thermal network is established to calculate the temporal–spatial distribution of the stator thermal stress for evaluating its fatigue under the heating-up process. Finally, some experimental measurements and finite-element simulations are conducted to validate the theoretical analyses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
