1. Introduction
Let us consider the role of an electromagnetoelastic actuator on the piezoeffect, the piezomagnetic effect, and the electrostriction or the magnetostriction effect, which are used for precise alignment in nanomechanics and adaptive optics [

A piezoactuator is applied for research on the nanomechanics of drives in nanotechnology, microelectronics, adaptive optics, biology as well as in scanning tunnelling microscopes, scanning force microscopes, and atomic force microscopes [

In the present paper, the generalized structural-parametric model and the generalized parametric structural schematic diagram of an electromagnetoelastic actuator are constructed by solving the wave equation with the Laplace transform for the equation of the electromagnetolasticity in the general form, the boundary conditions on the loaded working surfaces of the actuator, and the strains along the coordinate axes. The transfer functions and the parametric structural schematic diagrams of the piezoactuator are obtained from the generalized structural-parametric model.
In References [
6,
7], the solution of the wave equation of the piezoactuator was determined. In References [
6,
14,
15,
28], the structural-parametric models and the schematic diagrams for the simplest piezoactuators were obtained, and these were transformed into the structural-parametric model of an electromagnetoelastic actuator with output displacements.
The structural-parametric model of the piezoactuator was determined in contrast to electrical equivalent circuit types Cady and Mason for the calculation of the piezoelectric transmitter and receiver, the vibration actuator, and the vibration motor [

12] presents the classic analytical two-port lumped-element model (LEM) types Cady and Mason of the piezoelectric composite circular plate with the output pressure. Reference [
13] considers the development of various lumped-element models as practical tools to design and manufacture actuators with the output velocity. In References [
8,
14,
15], the transfer functions of the piezoactuator were used to overcome the problem of the absolute stability condition of the strain control system for an electromagnetoelastic actuator.
The elastic compliances and the mechanical and adjusting characteristics of a piezoactuator were explored in Reference [
17,
18,
19] in order to calculate its transfer functions and create the structural-parametric model. The structural-parametric model of a multilayer and compound piezoactuator was determined in References [
17,
18,
19,
20,
21,
22] with output displacement. In this paper, we solve the problem of building the generalized structural parametric model and the generalized parametric structural schematic diagram of an electromagnetoelastic actuator for the equation of electromagnetoelasticity in the general form. The difference of this work from other reports [
23,
24,
26,
27,
28] is that the construction of the structure-parametric model of the electromagnetoelastic actuator is produced immediately in the general form, and not by the method of mathematical induction from individual examples of models of piezoactuators.
2. Structural-Parametric Model and Transfer Functions of Electromagnetoelastic Actuator
Let us consider the general structural-parametric model and the parametric structural schematic diagram of an electromagnetoelastic actuator with output parameter displacement. For the electromagnetoelastic actuator, six stress components are presented; , , , , , , where the components – are related to extension-compression stresses, and – are related to shear stresses. In the electromagnetoelastic actuator, its deformation corresponds to the stressed state.
For polarized piezoceramics PZT the matrix state equations [
11,
14] with electric and elastic variables can be given by two equations, where the first equation represents the direct piezoelectric effect, and the second describes the inverse piezoelectric effect:
