description The flexible rotor, as a crucial component of the traveling wave rotary ultrasonic motor, effectively reduces radial friction. However, issues such as uneven contact between the stator and rotor, as well as rotor-deformation-induced stress, still persist. This paper presents an optimization method that combines the Kriging response surface model with a multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA). Drawing on the existing rotor structure, a novel rotor design is proposed to match the improved TRUM60 stator. During the optimization process, the contact surface between the stator and rotor is taken as the optimization target, and an objective function is established. The Kriging response surface model is constructed using Latin hypercube sampling, and an MOGA is employed to optimize this model, allowing the selection of the optimal balanced solution from multiple candidate designs. Following stator optimization, the objective function value decreased from 0.631 to 0.036, and the maximum contact stress on the rotor inner ring was reduced from 32.77 MPa to 9.96 MPa. Experimental validation confirmed the reliability of this design, significantly improving the overall performance and durability of the motor.
