In this document, a Simscape model of the nano-hexapod is developed and studied.
</p>
<p>
It is structured as follows:
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>Section <a href="#org3121227">1</a>: the simscape model of the nano-hexapod is presented. Few of its elements can be configured as wanted. The effect of the configuration on the obtained dynamics is studied.</li>
<li>Section <a href="#orgf5bb4a7">2</a>: Direct Velocity Feedback is applied and the obtained damping is derived.</li>
<li>Section <a href="#orgd06ebe5">3</a>: the encoders are fixed to the struts, and Integral Force Feedback is applied. The obtained damping is computed.</li>
<li>Section <a href="#orgb09098a">4</a>: the same is done when the encoders are fixed on the plates</li>
</ul>

<p>
The nano-hexapod can be initialized and configured using the <code>initializeNanoHexapodFinal</code> function (<a href="#org877b216">link</a>).
</p>
<p>
The following code would produce the model shown in Figure <a href="#orgb0efd5b">1</a>.

Several elements on the nano-hexapod can be configured:
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>The flexible joints (Section <a href="#org6815cd6">1.1.1</a>)</li>
<li>The amplified piezoelectric actuators (Section <a href="#orgf7bc82d">1.1.2</a>)</li>
<li>The encoders (Section <a href="#orgb099f97">1.1.3</a>)</li>
<li>The Jacobian matrices (Section <a href="#org5d30139">1.1.4</a>)</li>

<div class="outline-text-4" id="text-1-1-1">
<p>
<a id="org6815cd6"></a>
</p>
<p>
The model of the flexible joint is composed of 3 solid bodies as shown in Figure <a href="#org6afa01e">2</a> which are connected by joints representing the flexibility of the joint.
</p>
<p>
We can represent:
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>the bending flexibility \(k_{R_x}\), \(k_{R_y}\)</li>
<li>the torsional flexibility \(k_{R_z}\)</li>
<li>the axial flexibility \(k_z\)</li>
</ul>
<p>
The configurations and the represented flexibilities are summarized in Table <a href="#org933a214">1</a>.

<p>
Of course, adding more DoF for the flexible joint will induce an addition of many states for the nano-hexapod simscape model.

<a id="orgf7bc82d"></a>
</p>
<p>
The nano-hexapod&rsquo;s struts are containing one amplified piezoelectric actuator (APA300ML from Cedrat Technologies).
</p>
<p>
The APA can be modeled in different ways which can be configured with the <code>actuator_type</code> argument.
</p>
<p>
The simplest model is a 2-DoF system shown in Figure <a href="#orgb2afdea">3</a>.

<p><span class="figure-number">Figure 3: </span>Schematic of the 2DoF model for the Amplified Piezoelectric Actuator</p>

<p>
Then, a more complex model based on a Finite Element Model can be used.

<div class="outline-text-4" id="text-1-1-3">
<p>

</p>
<p>
The encoders can be either fixed directly on the struts (Figure <a href="#org63b5540">4</a>) or on the two plates (Figure <a href="#org9165423">5</a>).
</p>
<p>
This can be configured with the <code>motion_sensor_type</code> parameters which can be equal to <code>'struts'</code> or <code>'plates'</code>.

<p>
A complete view of the nano-hexapod with encoders fixed to the struts is shown in Figure <a href="#orgb0efd5b">1</a> while it is shown in Figure <a href="#org96bb17b">6</a> when the encoders are fixed to the plates.

<p>
The encoder model is schematically represented in Figure <a href="#orgc57bc17">7</a>:
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>a frame {B}, fixed to the ruler is positioned on its top surface</li>
<li>a frame {F}, rigidly fixed to the encoder is initially positioned such that its origin is aligned with the x axis of frame {B}</li>
</ul>
<p>
The output measurement is then the x displacement of the origin of the frame {F} expressed in frame {B}.

</p>
<p><span class="figure-number">Figure 7: </span>Schematic of the encoder model</p>

<p>
If the encoder is experiencing some tilt, it is then &ldquo;converted&rdquo; into a measured displacement as shown in Figure <a href="#org684088d">8</a>.

<a id="org5d30139"></a>
</p>
<p>
While the Jacobian configuration will not change the physical system, it is still quite an important part of the model.
</p>
<p>
This configuration consists on defining the location of the frame {B} in which the Jacobian will be computed.
This Jacobian is then used to transform the actuator forces to forces/torques applied on the payload and expressed in frame {B}.
Same thing can be done for the measured encoder displacements.

The zeros at 400Hz and 800Hz should corresponds to resonances of the system when one of the APA is blocked.

The first resonance is strange when using the flexible APA model (Figure <a href="#org152edd8">10</a>).
Moreover the system is unstable.
Otherwise, the 2DoF model matches quite well the flexible model considering its simplicity.

Let&rsquo;s define some parameters that will be used for the computation of the stiffness matrix:
</p>
<div class="org-src-container">
<pre class="src src-matlab">si = n_hexapod.geometry.si; <span class="org-comment">% Orientation of struts</span>

ki = ones(1,6); <span class="org-comment">% Normalized strut stiffness</span>
</pre>
</div>
<p>
In order to find is the Center of Stiffness (CoK) exists, we have to verify is the following is diagonal:
</p>
<div class="org-src-container">
<pre class="src src-matlab">ki<span class="org-type">.*</span>si<span class="org-type">*</span>si<span class="org-type">'</span>

<p>
And we can find the location of the CoK with respect to {F}:
</p>
<div class="org-src-container">
<pre class="src src-matlab">OkX = (ki<span class="org-type">.*</span>cross(bi, si)<span class="org-type">*</span>si<span class="org-type">'</span>)<span class="org-type">/</span>(ki<span class="org-type">.*</span>si<span class="org-type">*</span>si<span class="org-type">'</span>);

<p>
The &ldquo;center of stiffness&rdquo; is therefore 52.7mm above the bottom platform {F} frame.
</p>
<p>
Let&rsquo;s initialize the hexapod with frame {A} and {B} at the CoK:
</p>
<div class="org-src-container">

The stiffness matrix of the nano-hexapod describes its induced static displacement/rotation when a force/torque is applied on its top platform.
The location of the applied force/torque and the expressed displacement/rotation can be defined as wanted.
Such location (or frame) is then used for the computation of the Jacobian which in turns is used to compute the stiffness matrix.

The controller is a diagonal (i.e. decentralized) controller with simple low pass filters (i.e. pseudo integrators) on the diagonal:

\begin{equation}
K_{\text{IFF}} = \frac{g}{s + \omega_c} \bm{I}_{6 \times 6}

<p>
The value of \(\omega_c\) has quite a large impact both on the attainable damping and on the compliance degradation at low frequency.

It is here chosen to have quite a large \(\omega_c\) in order to not modify the plant at low frequency.

The IFF strategy has the well known drawback of degrading the compliance (transfer function from external forces/torques applied to the top platform to the motion of the top platform), especially at low frequency where the control gain is large.

<p>
The use of IFF induces a degradation of the compliance.
This degradation is limited due to the use of a pseudo integrator (instead of a pure integrator).
Also, it should not be a major problem for the NASS, as no direct forces should be applied to the top platform.

The controller is a diagonal (i.e. decentralized) controller with simple high pass filters (i.e. pseudo derivators) on the diagonal:

\begin{equation}
K_{\text{DVF}} = g \frac{s}{s + \omega_d} \bm{I}_{6 \times 6}

The value of \(\omega_d\) sets the frequency above high the derivative action is stopped.

Let&rsquo;s now see how the DVF control strategy effectively damps the plant and how it affects the transfer functions from the actuator forces to the relative motion sensors (encoders).
First identify the plant in open-loop.

<p>
The DVF strategy has the well known drawback of degrading the compliance (transfer function from external forces/torques applied to the top platform to the motion of the top platform), especially at low frequency where the control gain is large.
Let&rsquo;s quantify that for the nano-hexapod.
The obtained compliances are compared in Figure <a href="#org907b6e3">32</a>.
