To further improve the accuracy of the performance predictions, a model that better represents the micro-station dynamics is required.
|
||
A multi-body model consisting of several rigid bodies connected by kinematic constraints (i.e. joints), springs and damper elements is a good candidate to model the micro-station.
|
||
|
||
Although the inertia of each solid body can easily be estimated from its geometry and material density, it is more difficult to properly estimate the stiffness and damping properties of the guiding elements connecting each solid body.
|
||
Experimental modal analysis will be use to tune the model, and to verify that a multi-body model can accurately represent the dynamics of the micro-station.
|
||
|
||
The tuning approach for the multi-body model based on measurements is illustrated in Figure \ref{fig:modal_vibration_analysis_procedure}.
|
||
First, a \emph{response model} is obtained, which corresponds to a set of frequency response functions computed from experimental measurements.
|
||
From this response model, the modal model can be computed, which consists of two matrices: one containing the natural frequencies and damping factors of the considered modes, and another describing the mode shapes.
|
||
This modal model can then be used to tune the spatial model (i.e. the multi-body model), that is, to tune the mass of the considering solid bodies and the springs and dampers connecting the solid bodies.
|
||
|
||

|
||
\end{figure}
|
||
|
||
The measurement setup used to obtain the response model is described in Section \ref{sec:modal_meas_setup}.
|
||
This includes the instrumentation used (i.e. instrumented hammer, accelerometers and acquisition system), test planing, and a first analysis of the obtained signals.
|
||
|
||
In Section \ref{sec:modal_frf_processing}, the obtained frequency response functions between the forces applied by the instrumented hammer and the accelerometers fixed to the structure are computed.
|
||
These measurements are projected at the center of mass of each considered solid body to facilitate the further use of the results.
|
||
The solid body assumption is then verified, validating the use of the multi-body model.
|
||
|
||
Finally, the modal analysis is performed in Section \ref{sec:modal_analysis}.
|
||
This shows how complex the micro-station dynamics is, and the necessity of having a model representing its complex dynamics.
|

\chapter{Measurement Setup}
|
||
\label{sec:modal_meas_setup}
|
||
In order to perform an experimental modal analysis, a suitable measurement setup is essential.
|
||
This includes using appropriate instrumentation (presented in Section \ref{ssec:modal_instrumentation}) and properly preparing the structure to be measured (Section \ref{ssec:modal_test_preparation}).
|
||
Then, the locations of the measured motions (Section \ref{ssec:modal_accelerometers}) and the locations of the hammer impacts (Section \ref{ssec:modal_hammer_impacts}) have to be chosen carefully.
|
||
The obtained force and acceleration signals are described in Section \ref{ssec:modal_measured_signals}, and the quality of the measured data is assessed.
|
||
\section{Used Instrumentation}
|
||
\label{ssec:modal_instrumentation}
|
||
|
||
Three type of equipment are essential for a good modal analysis.
|
||
First, \emph{accelerometers} are used to measure the response of the structure.
|
||
Here, 3-axis accelerometers\footnote{PCB 356B18. Sensitivity is \(1\,V/g\), measurement range is \(\pm 5\,g\) and bandwidth is \(0.5\) to \(5\,\text{kHz}\).} shown in figure \ref{fig:modal_accelero_M393B05} are used.
|
||
These accelerometers were glued to the micro-station using a thin layer of wax for best results \cite[chapt. 3.5.7]{ewins00_modal}.
|
||
|
||
\begin{figure}[htbp]

||

|

\end{subfigure}
|
||
\caption{\label{fig:modal_analysis_instrumentation}Instrumentation used for the modal analysis}
|
||
\end{figure}
|
||
|
||
Then, an \emph{instrumented hammer}\footnote{Kistler 9722A2000. Sensitivity of \(2.3\,mV/N\) and measurement range of \(2\,kN\)} (figure \ref{fig:modal_instrumented_hammer}) is used to apply forces to the structure in a controlled manner.
|
||
Tests were conducted to determine the most suitable hammer tip (ranging from a metallic one to a soft plastic one).
|
||
The softer tip was found to give best results as it injects more energy in the low-frequency range where the coherence was low, such that the overall coherence was improved.
|
||
|
||
Finally, an \emph{acquisition system}\footnote{OROS OR36. 24bits signal-delta ADC.} (figure \ref{fig:modal_oros}) is used to acquire the injected force and response accelerations in a synchronized manner and with sufficiently low noise.
|
||
|
||
\section{Structure Preparation and Test Planing}
|
||
\label{ssec:modal_test_preparation}
|
||
|
||
To obtain meaningful results, the modal analysis of the micro-station in performed \emph{in-situ}.
|
||
To do so, all the micro-station stage controllers are turned ``ON''.
|
||
This is especially important for stages for which the stiffness is provided by local feedback control, such as the air bearing spindle, and the translation stage.
|
||
If these local feedback controls were turned OFF, this would have resulted in very low-frequency modes that were difficult to measure in practice, and it would also have led to decoupled dynamics, which would not be the case in practice.
|
||
|
||
The top part representing the active stabilization stage was disassembled as the active stabilization stage will be added in the multi-body model afterwards.
|
||
|
||
To perform the modal analysis from the measured responses, the \(n \times n\) frequency response function matrix \(\mathbf{H}\) needs to be measured, where \(n\) is the considered number of degrees of freedom.
|
||
The \(H_{jk}\) element of this \acrfull{frf} matrix corresponds to the frequency response function from a force \(F_k\) applied at \acrfull{dof} \(k\) to the displacement of the structure \(X_j\) at \acrshort{dof} \(j\).
|
||
Measuring this \acrshort{frf} matrix is time consuming as it requires to make \(n \times n\) measurements.
|
||
However, due to the principle of reciprocity (\(H_{jk} = H_{kj}\)) and using the \emph{point measurement} (\(H_{jj}\)), it is possible to reconstruct the full matrix by measuring only one column or one line of the matrix \(\mathbf{H}\) \cite[chapt. 5.2]{ewins00_modal}.
|
||
Therefore, a minimum set of \(n\) frequency response functions is required.
|
||
This can be done either by measuring the response \(X_{j}\) at a fixed \acrshort{dof} \(j\) while applying forces \(F_{i}\) for at all \(n\) considered \acrshort{dof}, or by applying a force \(F_{k}\) at a fixed \acrshort{dof} \(k\) and measuring the response \(X_{i}\) for all \(n\) \acrshort{dof}.
|
||
|
||
It is however not advised to measure only one row or one column, as one or more modes may be missed by an unfortunate choice of force or acceleration measurement location (for instance if the force is applied at a vibration node of a particular mode).
|
||
In this modal analysis, it is chosen to measure the response of the structure at all considered \acrshort{dof}, and to excite the structure at one location in three directions in order to have some redundancy, and to ensure that all modes are properly identified.
|
||
|
||
\section{Location of the Accelerometers}
|
||
\label{ssec:modal_accelerometers}
|
||
|
||
The location of the accelerometers fixed to the micro-station is essential because it defines where the dynamics is measured.
|
||
A total of 23 accelerometers were fixed to the six key stages of the micro station: the lower and upper granites, the translation stage, the tilt stage, the spindle and the micro hexapod.
|
||
The positions of the accelerometers are visually shown on a CAD model in Figure \ref{fig:modal_location_accelerometers} and their precise locations with respect to a frame located at the point of interest are summarized in Table \ref{tab:modal_position_accelerometers}.
|
||
Pictures of the accelerometers fixed to the translation stage and to the micro-hexapod are shown in Figure \ref{fig:modal_accelerometer_pictures}.
|
||
|
||
As all key stages of the micro-station are expected to behave as solid bodies, only 6 \acrshort{dof} can be considered for each solid body.
|
||
However, it was chosen to use four 3-axis accelerometers (i.e. 12 measured \acrshort{dof}) for each considered solid body to have some redundancy and to be able to verify the solid body assumption (see Section \ref{ssec:modal_solid_body_assumption}).

\section{Hammer Impacts}
|
||
\label{ssec:modal_hammer_impacts}
|
||
|
||
The selected location of the hammer impact corresponds to the location of accelerometer number \(11\) fixed to the translation stage.
|
||
It was chosen to match the location of one accelerometer, because a \emph{point measurement} (i.e. a measurement of \(H_{kk}\)) is necessary to be able to reconstruct the full \acrshort{frf} matrix \cite{ewins00_modal}.
|
||
|
||
The impacts were performed in three directions, as shown in figures \ref{fig:modal_impact_x}, \ref{fig:modal_impact_y} and \ref{fig:modal_impact_z}.
|
||
|
||

\section{Force and Response signals}
|
||
\label{ssec:modal_measured_signals}
|
||
|
||
The force sensor of the instrumented hammer and the accelerometer signals are shown in the time domain in Figure \ref{fig:modal_raw_meas}.
|
||
Sharp ``impacts'' can be observed for the force sensor, indicating wide frequency band excitation.
|
||
For the accelerometer, a much more complex signal can be observed, indicating complex dynamics.
|
||
|
||
The ``normalized'' \acrfull{asd} of the two signals were computed and shown in Figure \ref{fig:modal_asd_acc_force}.
|
||
Conclusions based on the time domain signals can be clearly observed in the frequency domain (wide frequency content for the force signal and complex dynamics for the accelerometer).
|
||
Similar results were obtained for all measured frequency response functions.
|
||
|
||
\begin{figure}[htbp]

\end{figure}
|
||
|

The frequency response function \(H_{jk}\) from the applied force \(F_{k}\) to the measured acceleration \(X_j\) is then computed and shown Figure \ref{fig:modal_frf_acc_force}.
|
||
The quality of the obtained data can be estimated using the \emph{coherence} function (Figure \ref{fig:modal_coh_acc_force}).
|
||
Good coherence is obtained from \(20\,\text{Hz}\) to \(200\,\text{Hz}\) which corresponds to the frequency range of interest.

\chapter{Frequency Analysis}
|
||
\label{sec:modal_frf_processing}
|
||
After all measurements are conducted, a \(n \times p \times q\) \acrlongpl{frf} matrix can be computed with:
|
||
\begin{itemize}
|
||
\item \(n = 69\): number of output measured acceleration (23 3-axis accelerometers)
|
||
\item \(p = 3\): number of input force excitation
|
||
\item \(q = 801\): number of frequency points \(\omega_{i}\)
|
||
\end{itemize}
|
||
|
||
For each frequency point \(\omega_{i}\), a 2D complex matrix is obtained that links the 3 force inputs to the 69 output accelerations \eqref{eq:modal_frf_matrix_raw}.
|
||
|
||
\begin{equation}\label{eq:modal_frf_matrix_raw}
|
||
\mathbf{H}(\omega_i) = \begin{bmatrix}
|
||
\frac{D_{1_x}}{F_x}(\omega_i) & \frac{D_{1_x}}{F_y}(\omega_i) & \frac{D_{1_x}}{F_z}(\omega_i) \\
|
||
\frac{D_{1_y}}{F_x}(\omega_i) & \frac{D_{1_y}}{F_y}(\omega_i) & \frac{D_{1_y}}{F_z}(\omega_i) \\
|
||
\frac{D_{1_z}}{F_x}(\omega_i) & \frac{D_{1_z}}{F_y}(\omega_i) & \frac{D_{1_z}}{F_z}(\omega_i) \\
|
||
\frac{D_{2_x}}{F_x}(\omega_i) & \frac{D_{2_x}}{F_y}(\omega_i) & \frac{D_{2_x}}{F_z}(\omega_i) \\
|
||
\vdots & \vdots & \vdots \\
|
||
\frac{D_{23_z}}{F_x}(\omega_i) & \frac{D_{23_z}}{F_y}(\omega_i) & \frac{D_{23_z}}{F_z}(\omega_i) \\
|
||
\end{bmatrix}
|
||
\end{equation}
|
||
|
||
However, for the multi-body model being developed, only 6 solid bodies are considered, namely: the bottom granite, the top granite, the translation stage, the tilt stage, the spindle and the micro-hexapod.
|
||
Therefore, only \(6 \times 6 = 36\) degrees of freedom are of interest.
|
||
Therefore, the objective of this section is to to process the Frequency Response Matrix to reduce the number of measured \acrshort{dof} from 69 to 36.
|
||
|
||
The coordinate transformation from accelerometers \acrshort{dof} to the solid body 6 \acrshortpl{dof} (three translations and three rotations) is performed in Section \ref{ssec:modal_acc_to_solid_dof}.
|
||
The \(69 \times 3 \times 801\) frequency response matrix is then reduced to a \(36 \times 3 \times 801\) frequency response matrix where the motion of each solid body is expressed with respect to its center of mass.
|
||
|
||
To validate this reduction of \acrshort{dof} and the solid body assumption, the frequency response function at the accelerometer location are ``reconstructed'' from the reduced frequency response matrix and are compared with the initial measurements in Section \ref{ssec:modal_solid_body_assumption}.
|
||
\section{From accelerometer DOFs to solid body DOFs}
|
||
\label{ssec:modal_acc_to_solid_dof}
|
||
|
||
Let us consider the schematic shown in Figure \ref{fig:modal_local_to_global_coordinates} where the motion of a solid body is measured at 4 distinct locations (in \(x\), \(y\) and \(z\) directions).
|
||
The goal here is to link these \(4 \times 3 = 12\) measurements to the 6 \acrshort{dof} of the solid body expressed in the frame \(\{O\}\).
|
||
|
||
\begin{figure}[htbp]
|
||

|
||
\includegraphics[scale=1]{figs/modal_local_to_global_coordinates.png}
|
||
\caption{\label{fig:modal_local_to_global_coordinates}Schematic of the measured motions of a solid body}
|
||
\end{figure}
|
||
|
||
The motion of the rigid body of figure \ref{fig:modal_local_to_global_coordinates} can be described by its displacement \(\vec{\delta}p = [\delta p_x,\ \delta p_y,\ \delta p_z]\) and (small) rotations \([\delta \Omega_x,\ \delta \Omega_y,\ \delta \Omega_z]\) with respect to the reference frame \(\{O\}\).
|
||
|
||
The motion \(\vec{\delta} p_{i}\) of a point \(p_i\) can be computed from \(\vec{\delta} p\) and \(\bm{\delta \Omega}\) using equation \eqref{eq:modal_compute_point_response}, with \(\bm{\delta\Omega}\) defined in equation \eqref{eq:modal_rotation_matrix}.
|
||
|
||
\begin{equation}\label{eq:modal_compute_point_response}
|
||
\vec{\delta} p_{i} &= \vec{\delta} p + \bm{\delta \Omega} \cdot \vec{p}_{i} \\
|
||
\end{equation}
|
||
|
||
\begin{equation}\label{eq:modal_rotation_matrix}

Writing this in matrix form for the four points gives \eqref{eq:modal_cart_to_acc}.

Provided that the four sensors are properly located, the system of equation \eqref{eq:modal_cart_to_acc} can be solved by matrix inversion\footnote{As this matrix is in general non-square, the Moore–Penrose inverse can be used instead.}.
|
||
The motion of the solid body expressed in a chosen frame \(\{O\}\) can be determined using equation \eqref{eq:modal_determine_global_disp}.
|
||
Note that this matrix inversion is equivalent to resolving a mean square problem.
|
||
Therefore, having more accelerometers permits better approximation of the motion of a solid body.

From the CAD model, the position of the center of mass of each considered solid body is computed (see Table \ref{tab:modal_com_solid_bodies}).

The position of each accelerometer with respect to the center of mass of the corresponding solid body can easily be determined.

Using \eqref{eq:modal_determine_global_disp}, the frequency response matrix \(\mathbf{H}_\text{CoM}\) \eqref{eq:modal_frf_matrix_com} expressing the response at the center of mass of each solid body \(D_i\) (\(i\) from \(1\) to \(6\) for the \(6\) considered solid bodies) can be computed from the initial \acrshort{frf} matrix \(\mathbf{H}\).

\section{Verification of solid body assumption}
|
||
\label{ssec:modal_solid_body_assumption}
|
||
|
||
From the response of one solid body expressed by its 6 \acrshortpl{dof} (i.e. from \(\mathbf{H}_{\text{CoM}}\)), and using equation \eqref{eq:modal_cart_to_acc}, it is possible to compute the response of the same solid body at any considered location.
|
||
In particular, the responses at the locations of the four accelerometers can be computed and compared with the original measurements \(\mathbf{H}\).
|
||
This is what is done here to check whether the solid body assumption is correct in the frequency band of interest.
|
||
|
||
The comparison is made for the 4 accelerometers fixed on the micro-hexapod (Figure \ref{fig:modal_comp_acc_solid_body_frf}).
|
||
The original frequency response functions and those computed from the CoM responses match well in the frequency range of interest.
|
||
Similar results were obtained for the other solid bodies, indicating that the solid body assumption is valid and that a multi-body model can be used to represent the dynamics of the micro-station.
|
||
This also validates the reduction in the number of degrees of freedom from 69 (23 accelerometers with each 3 \acrshort{dof}) to 36 (6 solid bodies with 6 \acrshort{dof}).

\chapter{Modal Analysis}
|
||
\label{sec:modal_analysis}
|
||
The goal here is to extract the modal parameters describing the modes of the micro station being studied, namely, the natural frequencies and the modal damping (i.e. the eigenvalues) as well as the mode shapes (.i.e. the eigenvectors).
|
||
This is performed from the \acrshort{frf} matrix previously extracted from the measurements.
|
||
|
||
In order to perform the modal parameter extraction, the order of the modal model has to be estimated (i.e. the number of modes in the frequency band of interest).
|
||
This is achived using the \acrfull{mif} in section \ref{ssec:modal_number_of_modes}.
|
||
|
||
In section \ref{ssec:modal_parameter_extraction}, the modal parameter extraction is performed.
|
||
The graphical display of the mode shapes can be computed from the modal model, which is quite quite useful for physical interpretation of the modes.
|
||
|
||
To validate the quality of the modal model, the full \acrshort{frf} matrix is computed from the modal model and compared to the initial measured \acrshort{frf} (section \ref{ssec:modal_model_validity}).
|
||
\section{Number of modes determination}
|
||
\label{ssec:modal_number_of_modes}
|
||
The \acrshort{mif} is here applied to the \(n\times p\) \acrshort{frf} matrix where \(n\) is a relatively large number of measurement DOFs (here \(n=69\)) and \(p\) is the number of excitation DOFs (here \(p=3\)).
|
||
|
||
The complex modal indication function is defined in equation \eqref{eq:modal_cmif} where the diagonal matrix \(\Sigma\) is obtained from a \acrlong{svd} of the \acrshort{frf} matrix as shown in equation \eqref{eq:modal_svd}.
|
||
\begin{equation} \label{eq:modal_cmif}
|
||
[CMIF(\omega)]_{p\times p} = [\Sigma(\omega)]_{p\times n}^T [\Sigma(\omega)]_{n\times p}
|
||
\end{equation}
|
||
|
||
\begin{equation} \label{eq:modal_svd}
|
||
[H(\omega)]_{n\times p} = [U(\omega)]_{n\times n} [\Sigma(\omega)]_{n\times p} [V(\omega)]_{p\times p}^H
|
||
\end{equation}
|
||
|
||
The \acrshort{mif} therefore yields to \(p\) values that are also frequency dependent.
|
||
A peak in the \acrshort{mif} plot indicates the presence of a mode.
|
||
Repeated modes can also be detected when multiple singular values have peaks at the same frequency.
|
||
The obtained \acrshort{mif} is shown on Figure \ref{fig:modal_indication_function}.
|
||
A total of 16 modes were found between 0 and \(200\,\text{Hz}\).
|
||
The obtained natural frequencies and associated modal damping are summarized in Table \ref{tab:modal_obtained_modes_freqs_damps}.

\section{Modal parameter extraction}
|
||
\label{ssec:modal_parameter_extraction}
|
||
|
||
Generally, modal identification consists of curve-fitting a theoretical expression to the actual measured \acrshort{frf} data.
|
||
However, there are multiple levels of complexity, from fitting of a single resonance, to fitting a complete curve encompassing several resonances and working on a set of many \acrshort{frf} plots all obtained from the same structure.
|
||
|
||
Here, the last method is used because it provides a unique and consistent model.
|
||
It takes into account the fact that the properties of all individual curves are related by being from the same structure: all \acrshort{frf} plots on a given structure should indicate the same values for the natural frequencies and damping factor of each mode.
|
||
|
||
From the obtained modal parameters, the mode shapes are computed and can be displayed in the form of animations (three mode shapes are shown in Figure \ref{fig:modal_mode_animations}).
|
||
|
||

||

|
||
\end{subfigure}
|
||
\caption{\label{fig:modal_mode_animations}Three obtained mode shape animations}
|
||
\end{figure}
|
||
|
||
These animations are useful for visually obtaining a better understanding of the system's dynamic behavior.
|
||
For instance, the mode shape of the first mode at \(11\,\text{Hz}\) (figure \ref{fig:modal_mode1_animation}) indicates an issue with the lower granite.
|
||
It turns out that four \emph{Airloc Levelers} are used to level the lower granite (figure \ref{fig:modal_airloc}).
|
||
These are difficult to adjust and can lead to a situation in which the granite is only supported by two of them; therefore, it has a low frequency ``tilt mode''.
|
||
The levelers were then better adjusted.
|
||
|
||

|
||
\caption{\label{fig:modal_airloc}AirLoc used for the granite (2120-KSKC)}
|
||
\end{figure}
|
||
|
||
The modal parameter extraction is made using a proprietary software\footnote{NVGate software from OROS company.}.
|
||
For each mode \(r\) (from \(1\) to the number of considered modes \(m=16\)), it outputs the frequency \(\omega_r\), the damping ratio \(\xi_r\), the eigenvectors \(\{\phi_{r}\}\) (vector of complex numbers with a size equal to the number of measured \acrshort{dof} \(n=69\), see equation \eqref{eq:modal_eigenvector}) and a scaling factor \(a_r\).
|
||
|
||
\begin{equation}\label{eq:modal_eigenvector}
|
||
\{\phi_i\} = \begin{Bmatrix} \phi_{i, 1_x} & \phi_{i, 1_y} & \phi_{i, 1_z} & \phi_{i, 2_x} & \dots & \phi_{i, 23_z} \end{Bmatrix}^T
|
||
\end{equation}
|
||
|
||
The eigenvalues \(s_r\) and \(s_r^*\) can then be computed from equation \eqref{eq:modal_eigenvalues}.
|
||
|
||
\begin{equation}\label{eq:modal_eigenvalues}
|
||
s_r = \omega_r (-\xi_r + i \sqrt{1 - \xi_r^2}), \quad s_r^* = \omega_r (-\xi_r - i \sqrt{1 - \xi_r^2})
|
||
\end{equation}
|
||
|
||
\section{Verification of the modal model validity}
|
||
\label{ssec:modal_model_validity}
|
||
|
||
To check the validity of the modal model, the complete \(n \times n\) \acrshort{frf} matrix \(\mathbf{H}_{\text{syn}}\) is first synthesized from the modal parameters.
|
||
Then, the elements of this \acrshort{frf} matrix \(\mathbf{H}_{\text{syn}}\) that were already measured can be compared to the measured \acrshort{frf} matrix \(\mathbf{H}\).
|
||
|
||
In order to synthesize the full \acrshort{frf} matrix, the eigenvectors \(\phi_r\) are first organized in matrix from as shown in equation \eqref{eq:modal_eigvector_matrix}.
|
||
\begin{equation}\label{eq:modal_eigvector_matrix}
|
||
\Phi = \begin{bmatrix}
|
||
& & & & &\\
|
||
\phi_1 & \dots & \phi_N & \phi_1^* & \dots & \phi_N^* \\
|
||
& & & & &
|
||
\end{bmatrix}_{n \times 2m}
|
||
\end{equation}
|
||
|
||
The full \acrshort{frf} matrix \(\mathbf{H}_{\text{syn}}\) can be synthesize using \eqref{eq:modal_synthesized_frf}.
|
||
|
||
\begin{equation}\label{eq:modal_synthesized_frf}
|
||
[\mathbf{H}_{\text{syn}}(\omega)]_{n\times n} = [\Phi]_{n\times2m} [\mathbf{H}_{\text{mod}}(\omega)]_{2m\times2m} [\Phi]_{2m\times n}^T
|
||
\end{equation}
|
||
|
||
With \(\mathbf{H}_{\text{mod}}(\omega)\) a diagonal matrix representing the response of the different modes \eqref{eq:modal_modal_resp}.
|
||
\begin{equation}\label{eq:modal_modal_resp}
|
||
\mathbf{H}_{\text{mod}}(\omega) = \text{diag}\left(\frac{1}{a_1 (j\omega - s_1)},\ \dots,\ \frac{1}{a_m (j\omega - s_m)}, \frac{1}{a_1^* (j\omega - s_1^*)},\ \dots,\ \frac{1}{a_m^* (j\omega - s_m^*)} \right)_{2m\times 2m}
|
||
\end{equation}
|
||
|
||
The comparison between the original measured frequency response functions and those synthesized ones from the modal model is presented in Figure \ref{fig:modal_comp_acc_frf_modal}.
|
||
Whether the obtained match is good or bad is quite arbitrary.
|
||
However, the modal model seems to be able to represent the coupling between different nodes and different directions, which is quite important from a control perspective.
|
||
This can be seen in Figure \ref{fig:modal_comp_acc_frf_modal_3} that shows the frequency response function from the force applied on node 11 (i.e. on the translation stage) in the \(y\) direction to the measured acceleration at node \(2\) (i.e. at the top of the micro-hexapod) in the \(x\) direction.

\chapter{Conclusion}
|
||
\label{sec:modal_conclusion}
|
||
|
||
In this study, a modal analysis of the micro-station was performed.
|
||
Thanks to an adequate choice of instrumentation and proper set of measurements, high quality frequency response functions can be obtained.
|
||
The obtained frequency response functions indicate that the dynamics of the micro-station are complex, which is expected from a heavy stack stage architecture.
|
||
It shows a lot of coupling between stages and different directions, and many modes.
|
||
|
||
By measuring 12 degrees of freedom on each ``stage'', it could be verified that in the frequency range of interest, each stage behaved as a rigid body.
|
||
This confirms that a solid body model can be used to properly model the micro-station.
|
||
|
||
Although a lot of effort was put into this experimental modal analysis of the micro-station, it was difficult to obtain an accurate modal model.
|
||
However, the measurements are useful for tuning the parameters of the micro-station multi-body model.
