Abstract This study applied appropriate assumptions to simplify a surface acoustic wave (SAW) motor model, as well as the elastic friction layer concept to analyze the two-dimensional contact problem. The effect of inertial force was factored into the equation of motion for the friction layer; the relationship between external force and the displacement of the friction layer surface was determined via Fourier transform; and the displacement field under different loads was analyzed using numerical methods. Based on the friction theory proposed by Armstrong, the relative velocity of the friction layer between the slider and stator was considered in the relationship between the normal and tangential forces acting on both contact surfaces. Finally, the deformation and the contact forces acting on the friction layer were evaluated by assuming the displacement of the stator substrate.

A general analysis on the subject of acoustic axes for bulk acoustic waves in trigonal crystals is presented. It is shown that the effect of piezoelectricity increases the maximum allowable number of acoustic axes in the plane of elastic symmetry from three to five for trigonal crystals of class 3m, and from 3 to 7 for trigonal crystals of class 32. The theory of acoustic axes of general orientation developed by Khatkevich (1962) is revised. A new, simpler and more general derivation of the conditions for the occurrence of acoustic axes of general orientation in crystals is presented. It is found that the previous analytical results and conclusions stating the absence of such axes in trigonal crystals are incorrect. New correct equations for acoustic axes of general orientation in trigonal nonpiezoelectric crystals are derived and confirmed by independent numerical calculations. Acoustic axes of general orientation oblique to the elastic symmetry planes are found to exist in berlinite (class 32) and in nonpiezoelectric lithium niobate (class 3m), however piezoelectricity eliminates these axes in the latter crystal. Some illustrative examples of the relationship between leaky surface acoustic wave branches and acoustic axes in trigonal crystals are given.
