This model is divided into multiple subsystems that are independent. These subsystems are saved in separate files and imported in the main file using a block balled “subsystem reference”.

Each stage is configured (geometry, mass properties, dynamic properties …) using one function.

These functions are defined below.

Add Mirror Type

switch args.type
  case 'none'

Material and Geometry

We define the geometrical values.

mirror.density = 2400; % Density of the material [kg/m3]

mirror.cone_length = mirror.rad*tand(args.angle)+mirror.h+mirror.jacobian; % Distance from Apex point of the cone to jacobian point

    0 mirror.h-mirror.thickness
    mirror.hole_rad mirror.h-mirror.thickness; ...
    mirror.hole_rad 0; ...

Then, we define the reflective used part of the mirror.

if strcmp(args.shape, 'spherical')
    mirror.sphere_radius = sqrt((mirror.jacobian+mirror.h)^2+mirror.rad^2); % Radius of the sphere [mm]

    for z = linspace(0, mirror.h, 101)
        mirror.shape = [mirror.shape; sqrt(mirror.sphere_radius^2-(z-mirror.jacobian-mirror.h)^2) z];

    mirror.shape = [mirror.shape; mirror.rad+mirror.h/tand(args.angle) mirror.h];
else
    error('Shape should be either conical or spherical');

12 Sample

Simscape Model

The Simscape model of the sample environment is composed of:

A rigid transform that can be used to translate the sample (position offset)
A cartesian joint to add some flexibility to the sample environment mount
A solid that represent the sample
An input is added to apply some external forces and torques at the center of the sample environment. This could be the case for cable forces for instance.

Function description

function [sample] = initializeSample(args)

Optional Parameters

arguments
  args.type         char    {mustBeMember(args.type,{'rigid', 'flexible', 'none', 'init'})} = 'flexible'
  args.radius (1,1) double  {mustBeNumeric, mustBePositive} = 0.1 % [m]

  args.offset (1,1) double  {mustBeNumeric} = 0 % [m]
  args.Foffset      logical {mustBeNumericOrLogical} = false
end

Structure initialization

First, we initialize the sample structure.

sample = struct();

Add Sample Type

switch args.type
  case 'none'
    sample.type = 0;
  case 'rigid'
    sample.type = 1;
  case 'flexible'
    sample.type = 2;
  case 'init'
    sample.type = 3;
end

Material and Geometry

We define the geometrical parameters of the sample as well as its mass and position.

sample.radius = args.radius; % [m]
sample.height = args.height; % [m]
sample.mass   = args.mass; % [kg]
sample.offset = args.offset; % [m]

Compute the Inertia

sample.inertia = [1/12 * sample.mass * (3*sample.radius^2 + sample.height^2); ...
                  1/12 * sample.mass * (3*sample.radius^2 + sample.height^2); ...
                  1/2  * sample.mass * sample.radius^2];

Stiffness and Damping properties

sample.K = zeros(6, 1);
sample.C = zeros(6, 1);

Translation Stiffness and Damping:

sample.K(1:3) = sample.mass .* (2*pi * args.freq(1:3)).^2; % [N/m]
sample.C(1:3) = 0.1 * sqrt(sample.K(1:3)*sample.mass); % [N/(m/s)]

Rotational Stiffness and Damping:

sample.K(4:6) = sample.inertia .* (2*pi * args.freq(4:6)).^2; % [N/m]
sample.C(4:6) = 0.1 * sqrt(sample.K(4:6).*sample.inertia); % [N/(m/s)]

Equilibrium position of the each joint.

  load('mat/Foffset.mat', 'Fsm');
  sample.Deq = -Fsm'./sample.K;

16 Initialize Position Errors

Function Declaration and Documentation

function [] = initializePosError(args)
% initializePosError - Initialize the position errors
%
% Syntax: [] = initializePosError(args)
%
% Inputs:
%    - args -

Optional Parameters

arguments
    args.error    logical {mustBeNumericOrLogical} = false
    args.Dy (1,1) double  {mustBeNumeric} = 0 % [m]
    args.Ry (1,1) double  {mustBeNumeric} = 0 % [m]
    args.Rz (1,1) double  {mustBeNumeric} = 0 % [m]
end

Structure initialization

First, we initialize the pos_error structure.

pos_error = struct();

Type

if args.error
  pos_error.type = 1;
else
  pos_error.type = 0;
end

Position Errors

pos_error.Dy = args.Dy;
pos_error.Ry = args.Ry;
pos_error.Rz = args.Rz;
