Mode extraction and importation

First, we split the big modes.asc files into sub text files using bash.

  sed '/^\s*[0-9]*[XYZ][+-]:/!d' modal_analysis_updated/modes.asc > mat/mode_shapes.txt
  sed '/freq/!d' modal_analysis_updated/modes.asc | sed 's/.* = \(.*\)Hz/\1/' > mat/mode_freqs.txt
  sed '/damp/!d' modal_analysis_updated/modes.asc | sed 's/.* = \(.*\)\%/\1/' > mat/mode_damps.txt
  sed '/modal A/!d' modal_analysis_updated/modes.asc | sed 's/.* =\s\+\([-0-9.e]\++[0-9]\+\)\([-+0-9.e]\+\)i/\1 \2/' > mat/mode_modal_a.txt
  sed '/modal B/!d' modal_analysis_updated/modes.asc | sed 's/.* =\s\+\([-0-9.e]\++[0-9]\+\)\([-+0-9.e]\+\)i/\1 \2/' > mat/mode_modal_b.txt

Then we import them on Matlab.

  shapes = readtable('mat/mode_shapes.txt', 'ReadVariableNames', false); % [Sign / Real / Imag]
  freqs = table2array(readtable('mat/mode_freqs.txt', 'ReadVariableNames', false)); % in [Hz]
  damps = table2array(readtable('mat/mode_damps.txt', 'ReadVariableNames', false)); % in [%]
  modal_a = table2array(readtable('mat/mode_modal_a.txt', 'ReadVariableNames', false)); % [Real / Imag]
  modal_a = complex(modal_a(:, 1), modal_a(:, 2));
  modal_b = table2array(readtable('mat/mode_modal_b.txt', 'ReadVariableNames', false)); % [Real / Imag]
  modal_b = complex(modal_b(:, 1), modal_b(:, 2));

We guess the number of modes identified from the length of the imported data.

  acc_n = 23; % Number of accelerometers
  dir_n = 3; % Number of directions
  dirs = 'XYZ';

  mod_n = size(shapes,1)/acc_n/dir_n; % Number of modes

As the mode shapes are split into 3 parts (direction plus sign, real part and imaginary part), we aggregate them into one array of complex numbers.

  T_sign = table2array(shapes(:, 1));
  T_real = table2array(shapes(:, 2));
  T_imag = table2array(shapes(:, 3));

  modes = zeros(mod_n, acc_n, dir_n);

  for mod_i = 1:mod_n
    for acc_i = 1:acc_n
      % Get the correct section of the signs
      T = T_sign(acc_n*dir_n*(mod_i-1)+1:acc_n*dir_n*mod_i);
      for dir_i = 1:dir_n
        % Get the line corresponding to the sensor
        i = find(contains(T, sprintf('%i%s',acc_i, dirs(dir_i))), 1, 'first')+acc_n*dir_n*(mod_i-1);
        modes(mod_i, acc_i, dir_i) = str2num([T_sign{i}(end-1), '1'])*complex(T_real(i),T_imag(i));
      end
    end
  end

The obtained mode frequencies and damping are shown below.

  data2orgtable([freqs, damps], {}, {'Frequency [Hz]', 'Damping [%]'}, ' %.1f ');

124.1	0.6
145.4	1.6
150.1	2.2
164.7	1.4

Positions of the sensors

We process the file exported from the modal software containing the positions of the sensors using bash.

 cat modal_analysis_updated/id31_nanostation_modified.cfg | grep NODES -A 23 | sed '/\s\+[0-9]\+/!d' | sed 's/\(.*\)\s\+0\s\+.\+/\1/' > mat/acc_pos.txt

We then import that on matlab, and sort them.

  acc_pos = readtable('mat/acc_pos.txt', 'ReadVariableNames', false);
  acc_pos = table2array(acc_pos(:, 1:4));
  [~, i] = sort(acc_pos(:, 1));
  acc_pos = acc_pos(i, 2:4);

The positions of the sensors relative to the point of interest are shown below.

  data2orgtable(1000*acc_pos, {}, {'x [mm]', 'y [mm]', 'z [mm]'}, ' %.0f ');

x [mm]	y [mm]	z [mm]

Solids

We consider the following solid bodies:

• Bottom Granite
• Top Granite
• Translation Stage
• Tilt Stage
• Spindle
• Hexapod

We create a structure solids that contains the accelerometer number of each solid bodies (as shown on figure fig:nass-modal-test).

  solids = {};
  solids.granite_bot = [17, 18, 19, 20];
  solids.granite_top = [13, 14, 15, 16];
  solids.ty          = [9, 10, 11, 12];
  solids.ry          = [5, 6, 7, 8];
  solids.rz          = [21, 22, 23];
  solids.hexa        = [1, 2, 3, 4];

  solid_names = fields(solids);

From local coordinates to global coordinates

From the figure above, we can write:

\begin{align*} \vec{v}_1 &= \vec{v} + \Omega \vec{p}_1\\ \vec{v}_2 &= \vec{v} + \Omega \vec{p}_2\\ \vec{v}_3 &= \vec{v} + \Omega \vec{p}_3\\ \vec{v}_4 &= \vec{v} + \Omega \vec{p}_4 \end{align*}

With

\begin{equation} \Omega = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & -\Omega_z & \Omega_y \\ \Omega_z & 0 & -\Omega_x \\ -\Omega_y & \Omega_x & 0 \end{bmatrix} \end{equation}

$\vec{v}$ and $\Omega$ represent to velocity and rotation of the solid expressed in the frame $\{O\}$.

We can rearrange the equations in a matrix form:

\begin{equation} \left[\begin{array}{ccc|ccc} 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & p_{1z} & -p_{1y} \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & -p_{1z} & 0 & p_{1x} \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & p_{1y} & -p_{1x} & 0 \\ \hline & \vdots & & & \vdots & \\ \hline 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & p_{4z} & -p_{4y} \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & -p_{4z} & 0 & p_{4x} \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & p_{4y} & -p_{4x} & 0 \end{array}\right] \begin{bmatrix} v_x \\ v_y \\ v_z \\ \hline \Omega_x \\ \Omega_y \\ \Omega_z \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} v_{1x} \\ v_{1y} \\ v_{1z} \\\hline \vdots \\\hline v_{4x} \\ v_{4y} \\ v_{4z} \end{bmatrix} \end{equation}

and then we obtain the velocity and rotation of the solid in the wanted frame $\{O\}$:

\begin{equation} \begin{bmatrix} v_x \\ v_y \\ v_z \\ \hline \Omega_x \\ \Omega_y \\ \Omega_z \end{bmatrix} = \left[\begin{array}{ccc|ccc} 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & p_{1z} & -p_{1y} \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & -p_{1z} & 0 & p_{1x} \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & p_{1y} & -p_{1x} & 0 \\ \hline & \vdots & & & \vdots & \\ \hline 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & p_{4z} & -p_{4y} \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & -p_{4z} & 0 & p_{4x} \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & p_{4y} & -p_{4x} & 0 \end{array}\right]^{-1} \begin{bmatrix} v_{1x} \\ v_{1y} \\ v_{1z} \\\hline \vdots \\\hline v_{4x} \\ v_{4y} \\ v_{4z} \end{bmatrix} \end{equation}

This inversion is equivalent to a mean square problem.

  mode_shapes_O = zeros(mod_n, length(solid_names), 6);

  for mod_i = 1:mod_n
    for solid_i = 1:length(solid_names)
      solids_i = solids.(solid_names{solid_i});

      Y = reshape(squeeze(modes(mod_i, solids_i, :))', [], 1);

      A = zeros(3*length(solids_i), 6);
      for i = 1:length(solids_i)
        A(3*(i-1)+1:3*i, 1:3) = eye(3);

        A(3*(i-1)+1:3*i, 4:6) = [0 acc_pos(i, 3) -acc_pos(i, 2) ; -acc_pos(i, 3) 0 acc_pos(i, 1) ; acc_pos(i, 2) -acc_pos(i, 1) 0];
      end

      mode_shapes_O(mod_i, solid_i, :) = A\Y;
    end
  end

Modal Matrices

We want to obtain the two following matrices: \[ \Omega = \begin{bmatrix} \omega_1^2 & & 0 \\ & \ddots & \\ 0 & & \omega_n^2 \end{bmatrix}; \quad \Psi = \begin{bmatrix} & & \\ \{\psi_1\} & \dots & \{\psi_n\} \\ & & \end{bmatrix} \]

• How to add damping to the eigen value matrix?

  eigen_value_M = diag(freqs*2*pi);
  eigen_vector_M = reshape(mode_shapes_O, [mod_n, 6*length(solid_names)])';

\[ \{\psi_1\} = \begin{Bmatrix} \psi_{1_x} & \psi_{2_x} & \dots & \psi_{6_x} & \psi_{1_x} & \dots & \psi_{1\Omega_x} & \dots & \psi_{6\Omega_z} \end{Bmatrix}^T \]

Modal Complexity

  mod_i = 1;
  i_max = convhull(real(eigen_vector_M(:, mod_i)), imag(eigen_vector_M(:, mod_i)));
  radius = max(abs(eigen_vector_M(:, mod_i)));
  theta = linspace(0, 2*pi, 100);

  figure;
  hold on;
  plot(radius*cos(theta), radius*sin(theta), '-');
  plot(real(eigen_vector_M(i_max, mod_i)), imag(eigen_vector_M(i_max, mod_i)), '-');
  plot(real(eigen_vector_M(:, mod_i)), imag(eigen_vector_M(:, mod_i)), 'ko');

    area_complex = polyarea(real(eigen_vector_M(i, mod_i)), imag(eigen_vector_M(i, mod_i)));
    area_circle = pi*max(abs(eigen_vector_M(:, mod_i)))^2;
    modes_complexity(mod_i) = area_complex/area_circle;
  end

  figure;
  plot(1:mod_n, modes_complexity, 'ok');
  ylim([0, 1]);
  xlabel('Mode Number'); ylabel('Modal Complexity');

Modal complexity for each mode

Some notes about constraining the number of degrees of freedom

We want to have the two eigen matrices.

They should have the same size $n \times n$ where $n$ is the number of modes as well as the number of degrees of freedom. Thus, if we consider 21 modes, we should restrict our system to have only 21 DOFs.

Actually, we are measured 6 DOFs of 6 solids, thus we have 36 DOFs.

From the mode shapes animations, it seems that in the frequency range of interest, the two marbles can be considered as one solid. We thus have 5 solids and 30 DOFs.

In order to determine which DOF can be neglected, two solutions seems possible:

• compare the mode shapes
• compare the FRFs

The question is: in which base (frame) should be express the modes shapes and FRFs? Is it meaningful to compare mode shapes as they give no information about the amplitudes of vibration?

Stage	Motion DOFs	Parasitic DOF	Total DOF	Description of DOF
Granite	0	3	3
Ty	1	2	3	Ty, Rz
Ry	1	2	3	Ry,
Rz	1	2	3	Rz, Rx, Ry
Hexapod	6	0	6	Txyz, Rxyz
	9	9	18

TODO Normalization of mode shapes?

We normalize each column of the eigen vector matrix. Then, each eigenvector as a norm of 1.

  eigen_vector_M = eigen_vector_M./vecnorm(eigen_vector_M);

Compare Mode Shapes

Let's say we want to see for the first mode which DOFs can be neglected. In order to do so, we should estimate the motion of each stage in particular directions. If we look at the z motion for instance, we will find that we cannot neglect that motion (because of the tilt causing z motion).

  mode_i = 3;
  dof_i = 6;

  mode = eigen_vector_M(dof_i:6:end, mode_i);

  figure;
  hold on;
  for i=1:length(mode)
    plot([0, real(mode(i))], [0, imag(mode(i))], '-', 'DisplayName', solid_names{i});
  end
  hold off;

  figure;

  hold on;
  for i=1:length(mode)
    plot(1, norm(mode(i)), 'o');
  end
  hold off;
  ylabel('Amplitude');

  subplot(2, 1, 2);
  hold on;
  for i=1:length(mode)
    plot(1, 180/pi*angle(mode(i)), 'o', 'DisplayName', solid_names{i});
  end
