ZIP file containing the data and matlab files   ignore

All the files (data and Matlab scripts) are accessible here.

Experimental Setup

We here measure the signals of two L22 geophones:

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

The signals are amplified with voltage amplifiers with the following settings:

  • gain of 60dB
  • AC/DC option set on AC
  • Low pass filter set at 1kHz

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.

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

  Fs = 1/dt;

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);

  [px7, ~] = pwelch(d7(:, 2), win, [], [], Fs);
  [px8, ~] = pwelch(d8(:, 2), win, [], [], Fs);

And we compare all the signals (figures fig:psd_sample_comp and fig:psd_sample_comp_high_freq).

Conclusion

  • The control system of the Ty stage induces a lot of vibrations of the marble above 100Hz
  • The hexapod control system add vibrations of the sample only above 200Hz
  • When the Slip-Ring is ON, white noise appears at high frequencies. This is studied here

Experimental Setup

We here measure the signals of two geophones:

The signal from the top geophone does go trought the slip-ring.

All the control systems are turned OFF, then, they are turned on one at a time.

Each measurement are done during 100s.

The settings of the voltage amplifier are shown on figure fig:amplifier_settings:

  • gain of 60dB
  • AC/DC option set on DC
  • Low pass filter set at 1kHz

A first order low pass filter with a cut-off frequency of 1kHz is added before the voltage amplifier.

Even tough the Hexapod's driver vibrates quite a lot, it does not generate significant vibrations of the granite when either placed on the granite or on the ground.
