2 Parameters

cedrat.L = 80; % Total Width of the Actuator[mm]
cedrat.H = 45; % Total Height of the Actuator [mm]
cedrat.L2 = sqrt((cedrat.L/2)^2 + (cedrat.H/2)^2); % Length of the elipsoidal sections [mm]
cedrat.alpha = 180/pi*atan2(cedrat.L/2, cedrat.H/2); % [deg]
cedrat.mtot = 0.160; % Total mass of the Actuator [kg]
cedrat.m = cedrat.mtot/6; % Mass of each single element [kg]

cedrat.k = 1e9; % Linear Stiffness of each "blade" [N/m]
cedrat.c = 0.1*sqrt(cedrat.mtot*cedrat.k); % [N/(m/s)]

cedrat.ka = 5e7; % Linear Stiffness of the stack [N/m]
cedrat.ca = 0.1*sqrt(cedrat.mtot*cedrat.ka); % [N/(m/s)]

cedrat.kr = 10; % Rotation Stiffness [N*m/(deg)]
cedrat.cr = 0.0001; % Rotation Damping [N*m/(deg/s)]

K_iff = tf(0);

% dummy_mass = 140; % [kg]
dummy_mass = 1; % [kg]
