For all the measurements shown here:

1 Effect of the Slip-Ring on the signal

1.1 Experimental Setup

Two measurements are made with the control systems of all the stages turned OFF.

One geophone is located on the marble while the other is located at the sample location (figure 1).

Figure 1: Experimental Setup

The two measurements are:

Measurement File Description
meas_008.mat Signal from the top geophone does not goes through the Slip-ring
meas_009.mat Signal goes through the Slip-ring (as shown on the figure above)

Each of the measurement mat file contains one data array with 3 columns:

Column number Description
1 Geophone - Marble
2 Geophone - Sample
3 Time

1.2 Load data

We load the data of the z axis of two geophones. 

d8 = load('mat/data_008.mat', 'data'); d8 = d8.data;
d9 = load('mat/data_009.mat', 'data'); d9 = d9.data;

1.3 Analysis - Time Domain

First, we compare the time domain signals for the two experiments (figure 2).

hold on;
plot(d9(:, 3), d9(:, 2), 'DisplayName', 'Slip-Ring');
plot(d8(:, 3), d8(:, 2), 'DisplayName', 'Wire');
hold off;

xlim([0, 50]);

1.4 Analysis - Frequency Domain

We then compute the Power Spectral Density of the two signals and we compare them (figure 3). 

dt = d8(2, 3) - d8(1, 3);
Fs = 1/dt;

win = hanning(ceil(1*Fs));

[pxx8, f] = pwelch(d8(:, 2), win, [], [], Fs);
[pxx9, ~] = pwelch(d9(:, 2), win, [], [], Fs);

hold on;
plot(f, sqrt(pxx9), 'DisplayName', 'Slip-Ring');
plot(f, sqrt(pxx8), 'DisplayName', 'Wire');

1.5 Conclusion

  • Connecting the geophone through the Slip-Ring seems to induce a lot of noise.

Remaining questions to answer:

  • Why is there a sharp peak at 300Hz?
  • Why the use of the Slip-Ring does induce a noise?
  • Can the capacitive/inductive properties of the wires in the Slip-ring does not play well with the geophone? (resonant RLC circuit)

2 Effect of all the control systems on the Sample vibrations

2.1 Experimental Setup

We here measure the signals of two geophones:

  • One is located on top of the Sample platform
  • One is located on the marble

The signal from the top geophone does not go trought the slip-ring.

First, all the control systems are turned ON, then, they are turned one by one. Each measurement are done during 50s.

OFF OFF ON ON ON meas_005.mat

Each of the mat file contains one array data with 3 columns:

Column number Description
1 Geophone - Marble
2 Geophone - Sample
3 Time

2.2 Load data

We load the data of the z axis of two geophones. 

d3 = load('mat/data_003.mat', 'data'); d3 = d3.data;
d4 = load('mat/data_004.mat', 'data'); d4 = d4.data;
d5 = load('mat/data_005.mat', 'data'); d5 = d5.data;
d6 = load('mat/data_006.mat', 'data'); d6 = d6.data;
d7 = load('mat/data_007.mat', 'data'); d7 = d7.data;
d8 = load('mat/data_008.mat', 'data'); d8 = d8.data;

2.3 Analysis - Time Domain

First, we can look at the time domain data and compare all the measurements:

  • comparison for the geophone at the sample location (figure 4)
  • comparison for the geophone on the granite (figure 5)

2.4 Analysis - Frequency Domain

dt = d3(2, 3) - d3(1, 3);

Fs = 1/dt;
win = hanning(ceil(10*Fs));

2.4.1 Vibrations at the sample location

First, we compute the Power Spectral Density of the signals coming from the Geophone located at the sample location. 

[px3, f] = pwelch(d3(:, 2), win, [], [], Fs);
[px4, ~] = pwelch(d4(:, 2), win, [], [], Fs);
[px5, ~] = pwelch(d5(:, 2), win, [], [], Fs);
[px6, ~] = pwelch(d6(:, 2), win, [], [], Fs);
[px7, ~] = pwelch(d7(:, 2), win, [], [], Fs);
[px8, ~] = pwelch(d8(:, 2), win, [], [], Fs);

And we compare all the signals (figures 6 and 7).

plot(f, sqrt(px3), 'DisplayName', 'All ON');
plot(f, sqrt(px4), 'DisplayName', 'Ty OFF');
plot(f, sqrt(px5), 'DisplayName', 'Ry OFF');

2.4.2 Vibrations on the marble

Now we plot the same curves for the geophone located on the marble. 

[px3, f] = pwelch(d3(:, 1), win, [], [], Fs);
[px4, ~] = pwelch(d4(:, 1), win, [], [], Fs);
[px5, ~] = pwelch(d5(:, 1), win, [], [], Fs);
[px6, ~] = pwelch(d6(:, 1), win, [], [], Fs);
[px7, ~] = pwelch(d7(:, 1), win, [], [], Fs);
[px8, ~] = pwelch(d8(:, 1), win, [], [], Fs);

And we compare the ASD (figures 8 and 9)

2.5 Effect of the control system on the transmissibility from ground to sample

As the feedback loops change the dynamics of the system, we should see differences on the transfer function from marble velocity to sample velocity when turning off the control systems (figure 10). 

dt = d3(2, 3) - d3(1, 3);

Fs = 1/dt;
win = hanning(ceil(1*Fs));

First, we compute the Power Spectral Density of the signals coming from the Geophone located at the sample location. 

[T3, f] = tfestimate(d3(:, 1), d3(:, 2), win, [], [], Fs);
[T4, ~] = tfestimate(d4(:, 1), d4(:, 2), win, [], [], Fs);
[T5, ~] = tfestimate(d5(:, 1), d5(:, 2), win, [], [], Fs);
[T6, ~] = tfestimate(d6(:, 1), d6(:, 2), win, [], [], Fs);
[T7, ~] = tfestimate(d7(:, 1), d7(:, 2), win, [], [], Fs);
[T8, ~] = tfestimate(d8(:, 1), d8(:, 2), win, [], [], Fs);

2.6 Conclusion

  • The control system of the Ty stage induces a lot of vibrations of the marble
  • Why it seems that the measurement noise at high frequency is the limiting factor when the slip ring is ON but not when it is OFF?

dt = m_ty(2, 3) - m_ty(1, 3);

Fs = 1/dt;
win = hanning(ceil(1*Fs));

First, we compute the transfer function estimate between the two geophones for the 3 experiments (figure 21). We also plot their coherence (figure 22).
