  abstract = {The paper presents the results of numerical and experimental investigation
	of cylindrical piezoelectric actuator used for achieving independent
	three degrees of freedom oscillations of the contact point. The design
	of actuator based on a hollow piezoelectric cylinder mounted on a
	metal rod. The piezoceramic cylinder has a radial polarization and
	special configuration of the electrodes that cover inner and outer
	surface of the cylinder. The main advantage of actuator's design
	is that solid metallic rod operates as a part of inner electrode
	of the cylinder and a stator of actuator. The geometry of piezoelectric
	actuator was adopted to reach resonance of oscillations for the first
	longitudinal mode and the third flexural mode at same frequency.
	The actuator is designed to move positioned object through contact
	point which is located on the top of the rod. The optimal topology
	of electrodes was found to achieve longitudinal and flexural oscillations
	of the actuator in two perpendicular planes. Three degrees of freedom
	of the positioning object can be achieved and control of the system
	can be implemented by applying different excitation schemes and regimes.
	The numerical simulation and experimental study of piezoelectric
	actuator was performed. Impedance of actuator was analyzed under
	different excitation regimes. The results of numerical modeling and
	experimental study were compared. Recommendations for the further
	development of this type of actuator are given.},
