New Spherical Resonant Actuator

抄録

This paper presents a new spherical resonant actuator. And the basic construction and the operating principle of the actuator are described. The dynamic characteristics are computed using the combined method of the 3-D FEM and the Runge-Kutta Method to easily couple with the equations of electric circuit and motion. As a result, computed results agree well with the measurement of the prototype. The effectiveness of the computation method for the spherical actuator is also clarified.
