In this paper, we want to make a new type linear piezoelectric motor by mode shape coating or effective electrode surface coating. The mode shape is derived from the mechanical boundary conditions of the linear piezoelectric motor. We only have access to the first three modes of formas, the effective electrode surface coating basis, as well as with the linear piezoelectric motor of normal shape do comparison. Next, we will inspect their gain or axial velocity through theoretical analysis, simulation and experiment. According to the results of the theoretical analysis, we have found that the gain or axial velocity of the linear piezoelectric motors of mode shape is much larger than the linear piezoelectric motors of normal shape. However, according to the results of simulation and experiments, we have found that the gain or axial velocity of the linear piezoelectric motors of mode shape is much greater than the linear piezoelectric motors of normal shape, which is about 1.2 to 1.4 times. The linear piezoelectric motor of mode shape 3 has the fastest axial velocity, which is about -48 mm/s and 48 mm/s under conditions of 180 V
p-p driving voltage, 21.2 kHz driving frequency (the third vibration modal), 25 gw loading and the position of loading or mass at
x = 5 mm & 45 mm respectively. And its axial velocity is about 1.4 times the linear piezoelectric motor of normal shape under the same conditions. Overall, the mode shape coating helps to enhance the gain or axial velocity of the linear piezoelectric motor.

Their linear movement speed of the fastest are 1527 mm/s, 1500 mm/s and 1280 mm/s respectively. If we only pay attention to thrust or loading ability, such as the square matrix type ultrasonic motor [7] , a 2-DOF planar ultrasonic motor using longitudinal- bending hybrid transducer [5] and aultrasonic linear motor using longitudinal and bending multimode bolt- clamped Langevin type transducer [1] have the best performance. Their maximum thrust or loading are 142N, 103N and 100N respectively. If it focuses on energy efficiency, they are a linear piezoelectric motor driven by a single-phase signal [12] , a multimode ultrasonic motor [10] and an ultrasonic linear motor using traveling surface acoustic wave [6] . Their minimum driving voltages are 16 Vp−p, 30 Vp−p and 80 Vp−p respectively. Due to the linear piezoelectric motors have superior performance, and they have a high use value in the precision mechanical systems. So in addition to the above the linear piezoelectric motors, in any form or performance of the linear piezoelectric motors are worth trying to develop. In addition, we, according to the rotary piezoelectric motor of mode shape, have the advantage of a high rotational speed and excellent performance [20] . We try to use the same mode shape coating method to produce a new linear piezoelectric motor, and hope the linear piezoelectric motor of mode shape also have a more superior performance with respect to the linear piezoelectric motor using normal shape coating, which is our motivation and main purpose in this paper.

3. The Composition and Operation Principle
According to the functions of the effective electrode surface or from Equation (3), we can design a series of linear piezoelectric motors, including the linear piezoelectric motors of normal shape and mode shape, as shown in Figure 3. For the linear piezoelectric motors of mode shape, we just take the first three functions of the mode shape and the effective electrode surface as the subject of research. As for the main components of the linear piezoelectric motor comprise two piezoelectric ceramics and an aluminum base of bench type. Which the polarization directions of the two piezoelectric ceramics are in pairs. When we operate the linear piezoelectric motor, only applied driving voltage (V3) and resonance frequency (fr) or proper loading, we can make linear motion of the piezoelectric motor, as shown in Figure 4. When the right membrane force is greater than the left side of the

4. The Equations of Axial and Transverse Vibration
In order to distinguish differences of the linear piezoelectric motor of the normal shape and mode shape, we can simplify the equations of motion of 3D structure into the equation of motion of the two 1D structures. One of which is the equation of motion of the axial vibration direction, the other is the equation of motion of the transverse vibration direction as follow:
and
where the membrane force (N1) and of bending moment (M1) unit width are defined as:
and
We can let Equation (1)-(3) & (6) (7) are substituted into Equation (4) & (5), and then after finishing, we can get the equations of motion by axial and transverse displacement of the linear piezoelectric motor of the normal shape and mode shape as follow:
and
According above the Equations (8)-(11), we can get the general solutions of axial and transverse vibration displacement () of the linear piezoelectric motors of normal shape and mode shape can be expressed as follow:
and
where the definition of constants or symbols in the above Equations (4)-(15) as follow:
where in above the symbols of A11, An, c11, D11, e31, fi, fn, h, t, U, u, V3, W, w, x, z, ρ, ωi, ωn, are defined as the membrane stiffness constant per unit width, amplitude, Young’s modulus, bending stiffness constant per unit width, an arbitrary frequency, the resonance frequency, total height or thickness of piezoelectric ceramic or aluminum base, time, the axial displacement dependent on the axial coordinate, the axial displacement dependent on the axial coordinate and time, the transverse driving voltage, the transverse displacement dependent on the axial coordinate, the transverse displacement dependent on the axial coordinate and time, axial coordinate, transverse coordinate, density, the angle velocity of arbitrary frequency, the angle velocity of resonance frequency, the eigenvalues of arbitrary frequency of transverse direction, the eigenvalues of resonance frequency of transverse direction, the eigenvalues of arbitrary frequency of axial direction and the electric moment. Which (p = 1 ~ 4) and (q = 1 ~ 2) represent undetermined coefficients of transverse and axial direction. Where the eigenvalues and
Where above undetermined coefficients can be determined by the following electro-mechanical boundary conditions:
and

and
Another the frictional force is defined as follow:
where represent the frictional force per unit width of left side, the frictional force per unit width of right side, the bending moment per unit width of left side, the bending moment per unit width of right side, the membrane force per unit width of left side and the membrane force per unit width of right side. And represent the intercept, mass or loading per unit width, net weight per unit width of the piezoelectric motor and coefficient of dynamic friction. Which represent the centroid of the linear piezoelectric motor and the intercept of the piezoelectric ceramics. The superscript of E and M represent the electrical and mechanical.
Because the functions of mode shape are equal to zero under pinned-pinned boundary conditions as:
So the Equation (30) and Equation (32) can be rewritten as follows:
and
where
Let Equations (25)-(36) are substituted into Equations (12)-(15), we can get the solution of the axial and transverse vibration displacement of the first three modes of the linear piezoelectric motors as follow:
and
Let Equations (35)-(41) are substituted into Equations (12)-(15), we can get the particular solutions of the transverse and axial vibration displacement of the linear piezoelectric motor as follow:
and
Further, we can make Equations (42)-(45) simplified as follows:
and
where is defined as driving phase angle.
Therefore, we can once again get the equations of elliptical trajectory of the linear piezoelectric motor of normal shape and mode shape at contact points on both sides from above Equations (46)-(49), as follow or shown in Figure 4:
and
At this point we can see the difference in the linear motors of normal shape and mode shape from the solutions of displacement. Then we will be to test their differences or gains by the case study of theoretical analysis, computer simulation and experiments.

7. Conclusion
According to the results of theoretical analysis, simulation analysis and experiments, we have found that the change in axial displacement or velocity of the linear piezoelectric motors of mode shape is more focus and smooth than the linear piezoelectric motor of normal shape. We also have found that the gain in axial and transverse displacement or velocity of the linear piezoelectric motors of mode shape is much larger than the linear piezoelectric motor of normal shape. We have further found that the axial velocity of the linear piezoelectric motors of mode shape is much larger than the linear piezoelectric motor of normal shape under condition of eccentric loading or mass. We also have found that the linear piezoelectric motors of normal shape and mode shape cannot move faster, when the state of net weight or the loading (or mass) placed at the center position of the motors. When the loading or mass is farther away from the center, it’s moving faster. And we also have found that the placement of the loading or mass can change the direction of axial movement of the motors. Overall, for all motors, the gain of the axial velocity of the third vibration modal is much larger than the first and second vibration modal. From the above results, we have found that the transverse mode shape coating has a positive effect on the axial displacement. That is, the transverse mode shape coating can make energy more concentrated with respect to the normal shape coating, so that axial displacement can more quickly move.
