Research Interests

1.Piezoelectric motors, including service performances and friction materials.
Ultrasonic motors (USMs) are driven by friction to translate or revolve through the micro-amplitude of a vibrating stator, which is in frictional contact with a slider or rotor. As the number of applications for USMs increases, additional demands are placed on this technology. Two key issues are the needed improvements in driving efficiency and the length of the service lifetime. At present, USM characteristics can be enhanced through optimization of the design of the stator structure, utilization of high performance of piezo-ceramic materials, compensation in the control circuit, and the use of optimized friction materials.

Friction and wear was predetermined to affect the running process of ultrasonic motors for the intrinsic friction driving principle. Importantly, both service performance and durable lifespan are depended upon the tribological behaviors of stator and slider of linear ultrasonic motors. Specifically for linear standing-wave ultrasonic motors (SWUMs), the frictional force of the stator/slider contact interface is closely related to the output characteristics, and the wear process directly restricts the service life of the motors. In order to improve the output performance and prolong the service life of the motors, exploring the friction and wear behaviors of stator/slider contact interface has become a hypothetical issue that hinders the rapid development and application of SWUMs.

3. Laser precision machining, surface texturing and functionalization.
Inefficient systemic loss of energy in machinery can be minimized by reduction of friction and wear in mechanical components. For example, the indispensable cogs and bearings in industrial machine are of interest, with the hope of bridging the gap between our desire for energy and adverse environmental effects. Tribology design and surface engineering technologies are sought after for improving the effectiveness and reducing friction losses in mechanical systems. Available literature indicates that surface texturing is one potential strategy to improve energy efficiency, decrease waste disposal and emissions. Textured surfaces with some intricate microstructures (pits, craters and grooves) have gained widespread acceptance in tribology because of their ability to achieve micro-hydrodynamic bearing effect, acting as reservoirs for the continuous supply of lubricants, and trapping of wear debris by eliminating or reducing plowing effects of the working surfaces.

Laser surface texturing (LST) has become an established manufacturing method owning to its advantages of been extremely fast, clean to the environment and provides excellent control on shape and size of microstructures. It has been proved that LST is valid for tribological applications in mechanical face seal, thrust bearings, cutting tools, cams/tappets, drill bit and piston rings. LST is also used for the reduction of friction (or stiction) in magnetic storage devices, minimization of wear and mechanical losses for Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) devices. However, LST is deficient for the new challenges of improving performances of tribological systems. Importantly, it fails to timely exhibit good transitional process from boundary (and dry) lubrication to full-film lubrication or its vice-versa, though the true state of tribological system is complicated and filled with uncertainties. An important but little-known problem is the friction and wear mechanisms of textured surfaces with different lubrication regions, as well as effective measures to improve the transitional behaviour in various lubrication regimes. LST can increase the range of hydrodynamic lubrication regime in the Stribeck curve. Meanwhile, it is stated that the bulges at the edge of the dimple need to be optimized to have the positive effect of LST on lubrication regime transitions. The friction coefficient is an important parameter for tribological performance followed by wear loss, friction force, efficiency and reliability are all critical to the operation of special tribological system. In addition, it is necessary to understand the detailed wear and durability of laser textured surface for different regions and working conditions.
