Amplified Piezoelectric Actuator - 3D elements

Introduction   ignore

The idea here is to:

• export a FEM of an amplified piezoelectric actuator from Ansys to Matlab
• import it into a Simscape model
• compare the obtained dynamics
• add 10kg mass on top of the actuator and identify the dynamics
• compare with results from Ansys where 10kg are directly added to the FEM

Import Mass Matrix, Stiffness Matrix, and Interface Nodes Coordinates

We first extract the stiffness and mass matrices.

  K = extractMatrix('piezo_amplified_3d_K.txt');
  M = extractMatrix('piezo_amplified_3d_M.txt');

Then, we extract the coordinates of the interface nodes.

  [int_xyz, int_i, n_xyz, n_i, nodes] = extractNodes('piezo_amplified_3d.txt');

  save('./mat/piezo_amplified_3d.mat', 'int_xyz', 'int_i', 'n_xyz', 'n_i', 'nodes', 'M', 'K');

Output parameters

  load('./mat/piezo_amplified_3d.mat', 'int_xyz', 'int_i', 'n_xyz', 'n_i', 'nodes', 'M', 'K');

Using K, M and int_xyz, we can use the Reduced Order Flexible Solid simscape block.

Piezoelectric parameters

Parameters for the APA95ML:

  d33 = 3e-10; % Strain constant [m/V]
  n = 80; % Number of layers per stack
  eT = 1.6e-7; % Permittivity under constant stress [F/m]
  sD = 2e-11; % Elastic compliance under constant electric displacement [m2/N]
  ka = 235e6; % Stack stiffness [N/m]
  C = 5e-6; % Stack capactiance [F]

  na = 2; % Number of stacks used as actuator
  ns = 1; % Number of stacks used as force sensor

The ratio of the developed force to applied voltage is $d_{33} n k_a$ in [N/V]. We denote this constant by $g_a$ and: \[ F_a = g_a V_a, \quad g_a = d_{33} n k_a \]

  d33*(na*n)*(ka/(na + ns)) % [N/V]

3.76

From cite:fleming14_desig_model_contr_nanop_system (page 123), the relation between relative displacement and generated voltage is: \[ V_s = \frac{d_{33}}{\epsilon^T s^D n} \Delta h \] where:

• $V_s$: measured voltage [V]
• $d_{33}$: strain constant [m/V]
• $\epsilon^T$: permittivity under constant stress [F/m]
• $s^D$: elastic compliance under constant electric displacement [m^2/N]
• $n$: number of layers
• $\Delta h$: relative displacement [m]

Identification of the Dynamics

The flexible element is imported using the Reduced Order Flexible Solid simscape block.

To model the actuator, an Internal Force block is added between the nodes 3 and 12. A Relative Motion Sensor block is added between the nodes 1 and 2 to measure the displacement and the amplified piezo.

One mass is fixed at one end of the piezo-electric stack actuator, the other end is fixed to the world frame.

We first set the mass to be zero.

  m = 0.01;

The dynamics is identified from the applied force to the measured relative displacement.

  %% Name of the Simulink File

  io(io_i) = linio([mdl, '/F'], 1, 'openinput');  io_i = io_i + 1;
  io(io_i) = linio([mdl, '/y'], 1, 'openoutput'); io_i = io_i + 1;

  Gh = -linearize(mdl, io);

Then, we add 10Kg of mass:

  m = 5;

And the dynamics is identified.

The two identified dynamics are compared in Figure fig:dynamics_act_disp_comp_mass.

  Ghm = -linearize(mdl, io);

Piezoelectric parameters

Parameters for the APA300ML:

  d33 = 3e-10; % Strain constant [m/V]
  n = 80; % Number of layers per stack
  eT = 1.6e-8; % Permittivity under constant stress [F/m]
  sD = 2e-11; % Elastic compliance under constant electric displacement [m2/N]
  ka = 235e6; % Stack stiffness [N/m]
  C = 5e-6; % Stack capactiance [F]

  na = 2; % Number of stacks used as actuator
  ns = 1; % Number of stacks used as force sensor

The ratio of the developed force to applied voltage is $d_{33} n k_a$ in [N/V]. We denote this constant by $g_a$ and: \[ F_a = g_a V_a, \quad g_a = d_{33} n k_a \]

  d33*(na*n)*(ka/(na + ns)) % [N/V]

0.42941

From cite:fleming14_desig_model_contr_nanop_system (page 123), the relation between relative displacement and generated voltage is: \[ V_s = \frac{d_{33}}{\epsilon^T s^D n} \Delta h \] where:

• $V_s$: measured voltage [V]
• $d_{33}$: strain constant [m/V]
• $\epsilon^T$: permittivity under constant stress [F/m]
• $s^D$: elastic compliance under constant electric displacement [m^2/N]
• $n$: number of layers
• $\Delta h$: relative displacement [m]

  1e-6*d33/(eT*sD*ns*n) % [V/um]

Identification of the APA Characteristics

Stiffness

The transfer function from vertical external force to the relative vertical displacement is identified.

The inverse of its DC gain is the axial stiffness of the APA:

  1e-6/dcgain(G) % [N/um]

1.8634

The specified stiffness in the datasheet is $k = 1.8\, [N/\mu m]$.

Resonance Frequency

The resonance frequency is specified to be between 650Hz and 840Hz. This is also the case for the FEM model (Figure fig:apa300ml_resonance).

First resonance is around 800Hz

Amplification factor

The amplification factor is the ratio of the axial displacement to the stack displacement.

The ratio of the two displacement is computed from the FEM model.

  -dcgain(G(1,1))./dcgain(G(2,1))

4.936

If we take the ratio of the piezo height and length (approximation of the amplification factor):

  75/15

Stroke

Estimation of the actuator stroke: \[ \Delta H = A n \Delta L \] with:

• $\Delta H$ Axial Stroke of the APA
• $A$ Amplification factor (5 for the APA300ML)
• $n$ Number of stack used
• $\Delta L$ Stroke of the stack (0.1% of its length)

  1e6 * 5 * 3 * 20e-3 * 0.1e-2

300

This is exactly the specified stroke in the data-sheet.

Identification of the Dynamics

The flexible element is imported using the Reduced Order Flexible Solid simscape block.

To model the actuator, an Internal Force block is added between the nodes 3 and 12. A Relative Motion Sensor block is added between the nodes 1 and 2 to measure the displacement and the amplified piezo.

One mass is fixed at one end of the piezo-electric stack actuator, the other end is fixed to the world frame.

We first set the mass to be zero.

The dynamics is identified from the applied force to the measured relative displacement.

The same dynamics is identified for a payload mass of 10Kg.

  m = 10;

Transfer function from forces applied by the stack to the axial displacement of the APA

IFF

Let's use 2 stacks as actuators and 1 stack as force sensor.

The transfer function from actuator to sensors is identified and shown in Figure fig:apa300ml_iff_plant.

Transfer function from actuator to force sensor

For root locus corresponding to IFF is shown in Figure fig:apa300ml_iff_root_locus.

Root Locus for IFF

DVF

Now the dynamics from the stack actuator to the relative motion sensor is identified and shown in Figure fig:apa300ml_dvf_plant.

Transfer function from stack actuator to relative motion sensor

The root locus for DVF is shown in Figure fig:apa300ml_dvf_root_locus.

Root Locus for Direct Velocity Feedback

Identification for a simpler model

The goal in this section is to identify the parameters of a simple APA model from the FEM. This can be useful is a lower order model is to be used for simulations.

The presented model is based on cite:souleille18_concep_activ_mount_space_applic.

The model represents the Amplified Piezo Actuator (APA) from Cedrat-Technologies (Figure fig:souleille18_model_piezo). The parameters are shown in the table below.

Picture of an APA100M from Cedrat Technologies. Simplified model of a one DoF payload mounted on such isolator

	Meaning
$k_e$	Stiffness used to adjust the pole of the isolator
$k_1$	Stiffness of the metallic suspension when the stack is removed
$k_a$	Stiffness of the actuator
$c_1$	Added viscous damping

Parameters used for the model of the APA 100M

The goal is to determine $k_e$, $k_a$ and $k_1$ so that the simplified model fits the FEM model.

Three unknowns and three equations: \[ \alpha = \frac{x_1}{f}(\omega=0) = \frac{\frac{k_e}{k_e + k_a}}{k_1 + \frac{k_e k_a}{k_e + k_a}} \] \[ \beta = \frac{x_1}{F}(\omega=0) = \frac{1}{k_1 + \frac{k_e k_a}{k_e + k_a}} \] \[ \gamma = \frac{dL}{f}(\omega=0) = \frac{1}{k_a + \frac{k_e k_1}{k_e + k_1}} \]

  alpha = abs(dcgain(G('y', 'Fa')));
  beta  = abs(dcgain(G('y', 'Fd')));
  gamma = abs(dcgain(G('d', 'Fa')));

  na = 1;
  ns = 2;

Amplification Factor

  A = abs(dcgain(G('y', 'Fa'))/dcgain(G('d', 'Fa')));

  ka = 0.8*(1/A)/gamma;
  ke = ka/(beta/alpha - 1);
  k1 = 1/beta - ke*ka/(ke + ka);

	Value [N/um]
ka	42.9
ke	1.5
k1	0.4

Adjust the damping in the system.

  c1 = 1e2;

Analytical model of the simpler system:

  Ga = 1/(m*s^2 + k1 + c1*s + ke*ka/(ke + ka)) * ...
       [ 1 ,              k1 + c1*s + ke*ka/(ke + ka)  , ke/(ke + ka) ;
        -ke*ka/(ke + ka), ke*ka/(ke + ka)*m*s^2 ,       -ke/(ke + ka)*(m*s^2 + c1*s + k1)];

  Ga.InputName = {'Fd', 'w', 'Fa'};
  Ga.OutputName = {'y', 'Fs'};

Adjust the DC gain for the force sensor;

  lambda = dcgain(Ga('Fs', 'Fd'))/dcgain(G('Fs', 'Fd'));

Import Mass Matrix, Stiffness Matrix, and Interface Nodes Coordinates

We first extract the stiffness and mass matrices.

  K = extractMatrix('mat_K_6modes_2MDoF.matrix');
  M = extractMatrix('mat_M_6modes_2MDoF.matrix');

Then, we extract the coordinates of the interface nodes.

  [int_xyz, int_i, n_xyz, n_i, nodes] = extractNodes('out_nodes_3D.txt');

  save('./mat/flexor_ID16.mat', 'int_xyz', 'int_i', 'n_xyz', 'n_i', 'nodes', 'M', 'K');
