Smart motor concept based on piezoelectric-magnetostrictive resonance

In this paper, we discuss a smart motor concept, in which piezoelectric and magnetostrictive actuators forming a resonance electric circuit function together to produce bidirectional motion of a steel drum. Resonance frequency is set at 4 KHz, thereby enabling operation of the motor at reasonably high frequencies.
