<p>
An important aspect of the Nano Active Stabilization System (NASS) is that the nano-hexapod is continuously rotating around a vertical axis while the external metrology is not.
Such rotation induces gyroscopic effects that may impact the system dynamics and obtained performances.
</p>
<p>
In this report, this rotating aspect of the NASS is studied.
It is structured in several sections:
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>Section <a href="sec:rotating_system_description">sec:rotating_system_description</a>: a simple model of a rotating suspended platform that will be used throughout this study is presented. The effect of the rotation velocity on the system dynamics is shown.</li>
<li>Section <a href="sec:rotating_iff_pure_int">sec:rotating_iff_pure_int</a>: Integral Force Feedback (IFF) is applied to the rotating platform, and it is shown that the unconditional stability of IFF is lost due to Gyroscopic effects induced by the rotation.</li>
<li>Section <a href="sec:rotating_iff_pseudo_int">sec:rotating_iff_pseudo_int</a>: A first modification of the IFF control law is proposed such that damping can be added to the suspension modes in a robust way. This modification consists of adding an high pass filter to the IFF controller. Optimal high pass filter cut-off frequency is computed.</li>
<li>Section <a href="sec:rotating_iff_parallel_stiffness">sec:rotating_iff_parallel_stiffness</a>: A second modification is proposed to regain the unconditional stability of IFF. This modification consists of adding stiffness in parallel to the force sensors. Optimal parallel stiffness is computed.</li>
<li>Section <a href="sec:rotating_relative_damp_control">sec:rotating_relative_damp_control</a>: Relative damping control is applied to the rotating system.</li>
<li>Section <a href="sec:rotating_comp_act_damp">sec:rotating_comp_act_damp</a>: Once the optimal control parameters for the three tested active damping techniques are obtained, they are compared in terms of achievable damping, obtained damped plant and closed-loop compliance and transmissibility.</li>
<li>Section <a href="sec:rotating_nano_hexapod">sec:rotating_nano_hexapod</a>: the previous analysis is applied on three nano-hexapod stiffnesses and optimal active damping controller are obtained.</li>
<li>Section <a href="sec:rotating_nass">sec:rotating_nass</a>: up until this section, the study was performed on a very simplistic model that just captures the rotation aspect and the model parameters were not tuned to corresponds to the NASS. In this last section, a model of the micro-station is added below the suspended platform (i.e. the nano-hexapod) with a rotating spindle and parameters tuned to match the NASS dynamics. The goal is to determine if the rotation imposes performance limitation for the NASS.</li>

<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-1">

<a id="org508ee4e"></a>
</p>
<p>
The studied system consists of a 2 degree of freedom translation stage on top of a rotating stage (Figure <a href="fig:rotating_3dof_model_schematic">fig:rotating_3dof_model_schematic</a>).
</p>
<p>
The rotating stage is supposed to be ideal, meaning it induces a perfect rotation \(\theta(t) = \Omega t\) where \(\Omega\) is the rotational speed in \(\si{\radian\per\s}\).
</p>
<p>
The suspended platform consists of two orthogonal actuators each represented by three elements in parallel: a spring with a stiffness \(k\) in \(\si{\newton\per\meter}\), a dashpot with a damping coefficient \(c\) in \(\si{\newton\per(\meter\per\second)}\) and an ideal force source \(F_u, F_v\).
A payload with a mass \(m\) in \(\si{\kilo\gram}\), is mounted on the (rotating) suspended platform.
</p>
<p>
Two reference frames are used: an inertial frame \((\vec{i}_x, \vec{i}_y, \vec{i}_z)\) and a uniform rotating frame \((\vec{i}_u, \vec{i}_v, \vec{i}_w)\) rigidly fixed on top of the rotating stage with \(\vec{i}_w\) aligned with the rotation axis.
The position of the payload is represented by \((d_u, d_v, 0)\) expressed in the rotating frame.

<h3 id="org8c286f6"><span class="section-number-3">1.1.</span> Equations of motion</h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-1-1">
<p>
To obtain the equations of motion for the system represented in Figure <a href="fig:rotating_3dof_model_schematic">fig:rotating_3dof_model_schematic</a>, the Lagrangian equations are used:
</p>
\begin{equation}
\label{org5f12e94}
\frac{d}{dt} \left( \frac{\partial L}{\partial \dot{q}_i} \right) + \frac{\partial D}{\partial \dot{q}_i} - \frac{\partial L}{\partial q_i} = Q_i
\end{equation}
<p>
with \(L = T - V\) the Lagrangian, \(T\) the kinetic coenergy, \(V\) the potential energy, \(D\) the dissipation function, and \(Q_i\) the generalized force associated with the generalized variable \(\begin{bmatrix}q_1 & q_2\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}d_u & d_v\end{bmatrix}\).
The equation of motion corresponding to the constant rotation along \(\vec{i}_w\) is disregarded as this motion is considered to be imposed by the rotation stage.
</p>
\begin{equation}
\label{orgdc4e5f6}
\begin{aligned}
T &= \frac{1}{2} m \left( ( \dot{d}_u - \Omega d_v )^2 + ( \dot{d}_v + \Omega d_u )^2 \right), \\
V &= \frac{1}{2} k \big( {d_u}^2 + {d_v}^2 \big), \ Q_1 = F_u, \\
D &= \frac{1}{2} c \big( \dot{d}_u{}^2 + \dot{d}_v{}^2 \big), \ Q_2 = F_v
\end{aligned}
\end{equation}
<p>
Substituting equations <a href="eq:energy_functions_lagrange">eq:energy_functions_lagrange</a> into equation <a href="eq:lagrangian_equations">eq:lagrangian_equations</a> for both generalized coordinates gives two coupled differential equations <a href="eq:eom_coupled_1">eq:eom_coupled_1</a> and <a href="eq:eom_coupled_2">eq:eom_coupled_2</a>.
</p>
\begin{subequations}
\label{orgf489dbd}
\begin{align}
m \ddot{d}_u + c \dot{d}_u + ( k - m \Omega^2 ) d_u &= F_u + 2 m \Omega \dot{d}_v \label{eq:eom_coupled_1} \\
m \ddot{d}_v + c \dot{d}_v + ( k \underbrace{-\,m \Omega^2}_{\text{Centrif.}} ) d_v &= F_v \underbrace{-\,2 m \Omega \dot{d}_u}_{\text{Coriolis}} \label{eq:eom_coupled_2}
\end{align}
\end{subequations}
<p>
The uniform rotation of the system induces <b>two gyroscopic effects</b> as shown in equation <a href="eq:eom_coupled">eq:eom_coupled</a>:
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li><b>Centrifugal forces</b>: that can been seen as an added <b>negative stiffness</b> \(- m \Omega^2\) along \(\vec{i}_u\) and \(\vec{i}_v\)</li>
<li><b>Coriolis Forces</b>: that adds <b>coupling</b> between the two orthogonal directions.</li>
</ul>
<p>
One can verify that without rotation (\(\Omega = 0\)) the system becomes equivalent to two uncoupled one degree of freedom mass-spring-damper systems.

To study the dynamics of the system, the differential equations of motions <a href="eq:eom_coupled">eq:eom_coupled</a> are converted into the Laplace domain and the \(2 \times 2\) transfer function matrix \(\mathbf{G}_d\) from \(\begin{bmatrix}F_u & F_v\end{bmatrix}\) to \(\begin{bmatrix}d_u & d_v\end{bmatrix}\) in equation <a href="eq:Gd_mimo_tf">eq:Gd_mimo_tf</a> is obtained.
Its elements are shown in equation <a href="eq:Gd_indiv_el">eq:Gd_indiv_el</a>.

\mathbf{G}_{d}(1,2) &= -\mathbf{G}_{d}(2,1) = \frac{2 m \Omega s}{\left( m s^2 + cs + k - m \Omega^2 \right)^2 + \left( 2 m \Omega s \right)^2}
\end{align}
\end{subequations}
<p>
To simplify the analysis, the undamped natural frequency \(\omega_0\) and the damping ratio \(\xi\) are used as in equation <a href="eq:xi_and_omega">eq:xi_and_omega</a>.
</p>
\begin{equation}
\label{org6fb81ba}
\omega_0 = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} \text{ in } \si{\radian\per\second}, \quad \xi = \frac{c}{2 \sqrt{k m}}
\end{equation}
<p>
The elements of transfer function matrix \(\mathbf{G}_d\) are now described by equation <a href="eq:Gd_w0_xi_k">eq:Gd_w0_xi_k</a>.

Supposing small damping (\(\xi \ll 1\)), two pairs of complex conjugate poles are obtained as shown in equation <a href="eq:pole_values">eq:pole_values</a>.
</p>
\begin{subequations}
\label{org4ae8a0c}

The real and complex parts of these two pairs of complex conjugate poles are represented in Figure <a href="fig:rotating_campbell_diagram">fig:rotating_campbell_diagram</a> as a function of the rotational speed \(\Omega\).
As the rotational speed increases, \(p_{+}\) goes to higher frequencies and \(p_{-}\) goes to lower frequencies.
The system becomes unstable for \(\Omega > \omega_0\) as the real part of \(p_{-}\) is positive.
Physically, the negative stiffness term \(-m\Omega^2\) induced by centrifugal forces exceeds the spring stiffness \(k\).

The system dynamics from actuator forces \([F_u, F_v]\) to the relative motion \([d_u, d_v]\) is identified for several rotating velocities.
</p>
<p>
Looking at the transfer function matrix \(\mathbf{G}_d\) in equation <a href="eq:Gd_w0_xi_k">eq:Gd_w0_xi_k</a>, one can see that the two diagonal (direct) terms are equal and that the two off-diagonal (coupling) terms are opposite.
The bode plot of these two terms are shown in Figure <a href="fig:rotating_direct_coupling_bode_plot">fig:rotating_direct_coupling_bode_plot</a> for several rotational speeds \(\Omega\).
These plots confirm the expected behavior: the frequency of the two pairs of complex conjugate poles are further separated as \(\Omega\) increases.
For \(\Omega > \omega_0\), the low frequency pair of complex conjugate poles \(p_{-}\) becomes unstable.

<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-2">
<p>
<a id="org6c5f940"></a>
</p>
<p>
In order to further decrease the residual vibrations, active damping can be used for reducing the magnification of the response in the vicinity of the resonances (<a href="#citeproc_bib_item_2">Collette, Janssens, and Artoos 2011</a>).
</p>
<p>
Many active damping techniques have been developed over the years such as Positive Position Feedback (PPF) (<a href="#citeproc_bib_item_5">Lin and McInroy 2006</a>; <a href="#citeproc_bib_item_3">Fanson and Caughey 1990</a>), Integral Force Feedback (IFF) (<a href="#citeproc_bib_item_9">Preumont, Dufour, and Malekian 1991</a>) and Direct Velocity Feedback (DVF) (<a href="#citeproc_bib_item_4">Karnopp, Crosby, and Harwood 1974</a>; <a href="#citeproc_bib_item_12">Serrand and Elliott 2000</a>; <a href="#citeproc_bib_item_11">Preumont et al. 2002</a>). \par
</p>
<p>
In (<a href="#citeproc_bib_item_10">Preumont, Dufour, and Malekian 1992</a>), the IFF control scheme has been proposed, where a force sensor, a force actuator and an integral controller are used to directly augment the damping of a mechanical system.
When the force sensor is collocated with the actuator, the open-loop transfer function has alternating poles and zeros which facilitate to guarantee the stability of the closed loop system (<a href="#citeproc_bib_item_11">Preumont et al. 2002</a>).
It was latter shown that this property holds for multiple collated actuator/sensor pairs (<a href="#citeproc_bib_item_8">Preumont, De Marneffe, and Krenk 2008</a>). \par
</p>
<p>
The main advantages of IFF over other active damping techniques are the guaranteed stability even in presence of flexible dynamics, good performances and robustness properties (<a href="#citeproc_bib_item_11">Preumont et al. 2002</a>). \par
</p>
<p>
Several improvements of the classical IFF have been proposed, such as adding a feed-through term to increase the achievable damping (<a href="#citeproc_bib_item_14">Teo and Fleming 2015</a>) or adding an high pass filter to recover the loss of compliance at low frequency (<a href="#citeproc_bib_item_1">Chesné, Milhomem, and Collette 2016</a>).
Recently, an \(\mathcal{H}_\infty\) optimization criterion has been used to derive optimal gains for the IFF controller (<a href="#citeproc_bib_item_15">Zhao et al. 2019</a>). \par
</p>
<p>
However, none of these study have been applied to a rotating system.
In this section, Integral Force Feedback strategy is applied on the rotating suspended platform, and it is shown that gyroscopic effects alters the system dynamics and that IFF cannot be applied as is.

In order to apply Integral Force Feedback, two force sensors are added in series with the actuators (Figure <a href="fig:rotating_3dof_model_schematic_iff">fig:rotating_3dof_model_schematic_iff</a>).
Two identical controllers \(K_F\) are then used to feedback each of the sensed force to its associated actuator:

\mathbf{G}_{f}(1,1) &= \mathbf{G}_{f}(2,2) = \frac{\left( \frac{s^2}{{\omega_0}^2} - \frac{\Omega^2}{{\omega_0}^2} \right) \left( \frac{s^2}{{\omega_0}^2} + 2 \xi \frac{s}{\omega_0} + 1 - \frac{{\Omega}^2}{{\omega_0}^2} \right) + \left( 2 \frac{\Omega}{\omega_0} \frac{s}{\omega_0} \right)^2}{\left( \frac{s^2}{{\omega_0}^2} + 2 \xi \frac{s}{\omega_0} + 1 - \frac{{\Omega}^2}{{\omega_0}^2} \right)^2 + \left( 2 \frac{\Omega}{\omega_0} \frac{s}{\omega_0} \right)^2} \label{eq:Gf_diag_tf} \\
\mathbf{G}_{f}(1,2) &= -\mathbf{G}_{f}(2,1) = \frac{- \left( 2 \xi \frac{s}{\omega_0} + 1 \right) \left( 2 \frac{\Omega}{\omega_0} \frac{s}{\omega_0} \right)}{\left( \frac{s^2}{{\omega_0}^2} + 2 \xi \frac{s}{\omega_0} + 1 - \frac{{\Omega}^2}{{\omega_0}^2} \right)^2 + \left( 2 \frac{\Omega}{\omega_0} \frac{s}{\omega_0} \right)^2} \label{eq:Gf_off_diag_tf}

\end{subequations}
<p>
The zeros of the diagonal terms of \(\mathbf{G}_f\) in equation <a href="eq:Gf_diag_tf">eq:Gf_diag_tf</a> are computed, and neglecting the damping for simplicity, <b>two complex conjugated zeros</b> \(z_{c}\) are obtained in equation <a href="eq:iff_zero_cc">eq:iff_zero_cc</a>, and <b>two real zeros</b> \(z_{r}\) in equation <a href="eq:iff_zero_real">eq:iff_zero_real</a>.
</p>
\begin{subequations}
\begin{align}
z_c &= \pm j \omega_0 \sqrt{\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{8 \frac{\Omega^2}{{\omega_0}^2} + 1} + \frac{\Omega^2}{{\omega_0}^2} + \frac{1}{2} } \label{eq:iff_zero_cc} \\
z_r &= \pm \omega_0 \sqrt{\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{8 \frac{\Omega^2}{{\omega_0}^2} + 1} - \frac{\Omega^2}{{\omega_0}^2} - \frac{1}{2} } \label{eq:iff_zero_real}
\end{align}
\end{subequations}
<p>
It is interesting to see that the frequency of the pair of complex conjugate zeros \(z_c\) in equation <a href="eq:iff_zero_cc">eq:iff_zero_cc</a> always lies between the frequency of the two pairs of complex conjugate poles \(p_{-}\) and \(p_{+}\) in equation <a href="eq:pole_values">eq:pole_values</a>.
This is what usually gives the unconditional stability of IFF when collocated force sensors are used.
</p>
<p>
However, for non-null rotational speeds, the two real zeros \(z_r\) in equation <a href="eq:iff_zero_real">eq:iff_zero_real</a> are inducing a <b>non-minimum phase behavior</b>.
This can be seen in the Bode plot of the diagonal terms (Figure <a href="fig:rotating_iff_bode_plot_effect_rot">fig:rotating_iff_bode_plot_effect_rot</a>) where the low frequency gain is no longer zero while the phase stays at \(\SI{180}{\degree}\).
</p>
<p>
The low frequency gain of \(\mathbf{G}_f\) increases with the rotational speed \(\Omega\) as shown in equation <a href="eq:low_freq_gain_iff_plan">eq:low_freq_gain_iff_plan</a>.
</p>
\begin{equation}
\label{orgde800d4}
\lim_{\omega \to 0} \left| \mathbf{G}_f (j\omega) \right| = \begin{bmatrix}
\frac{\Omega^2}{{\omega_0}^2 - \Omega^2} & 0 \\
0 & \frac{\Omega^2}{{\omega_0}^2 - \Omega^2}
\end{bmatrix}
\end{equation}
<p>
This can be explained as follows: a constant actuator force \(F_u\) induces a small displacement of the mass \(d_u = \frac{F_u}{k - m\Omega^2}\) (Hooke&rsquo;s law taking into account the negative stiffness induced by the rotation).
This small displacement then increases the centrifugal force \(m\Omega^2d_u = \frac{\Omega^2}{{\omega_0}^2 - \Omega^2} F_u\) which is then measured by the force sensors.

The decentralized IFF controller \(\bm{K}_F\) corresponds to a diagonal controller with integrators:
</p>
\begin{equation}
\label{orgf9e884d}
\begin{aligned}
\mathbf{K}_{F}(s) &= \begin{bmatrix} K_{F}(s) & 0 \\ 0 & K_{F}(s) \end{bmatrix} \\
K_{F}(s) &= g \cdot \frac{1}{s}
\end{aligned}
\end{equation}
<p>
In order to see how the IFF controller affects the poles of the closed loop system, a Root Locus plot (Figure <a href="fig:rotating_root_locus_iff_pure_int">fig:rotating_root_locus_iff_pure_int</a>) is constructed as follows: the poles of the closed-loop system are drawn in the complex plane as the controller gain \(g\) varies from \(0\) to \(\infty\) for the two controllers \(K_{F}\) simultaneously.
As explained in (<a href="#citeproc_bib_item_8">Preumont, De Marneffe, and Krenk 2008</a>; <a href="#citeproc_bib_item_13">Skogestad and Postlethwaite 2007</a>), the closed-loop poles start at the open-loop poles (shown by \(\tikz[baseline=-0.6ex] \node[cross out, draw=black, minimum size=1ex, line width=2pt, inner sep=0pt, outer sep=0pt] at (0, 0){};\)) for \(g = 0\) and coincide with the transmission zeros (shown by \(\tikz[baseline=-0.6ex] \draw[line width=2pt, inner sep=0pt, outer sep=0pt] (0,0) circle[radius=3pt];\)) as \(g \to \infty\).
</p>
<div class="important" id="orgd50805a">
<p>
Whereas collocated IFF is usually associated with unconditional stability (<a href="#citeproc_bib_item_9">Preumont, Dufour, and Malekian 1991</a>), this property is lost due to gyroscopic effects as soon as the rotation velocity in non-null.
This can be seen in the Root Locus plot (Figure <a href="fig:rotating_root_locus_iff_pure_int">fig:rotating_root_locus_iff_pure_int</a>) where poles corresponding to the controller are bound to the right half plane implying closed-loop system instability.
</p>
</div>
<p>
Physically, this can be explained like so: at low frequency, the loop gain is very large due to the pure integrator in \(K_{F}\) and the finite gain of the plant (Figure <a href="fig:rotating_iff_bode_plot_effect_rot">fig:rotating_iff_bode_plot_effect_rot</a>).
The control system is thus canceling the spring forces which makes the suspended platform no able to hold the payload against centrifugal forces, hence the instability.

<a id="org9a6ec64"></a>
</p>
<p>
As was explained in the previous section, the instability of the IFF controller applied on the rotating system comes in part from the high gain at low frequency caused by the pure integrators.
</p>
<p>
In order to limit the low frequency controller gain, an High Pass Filter (HPF) can be added to the controller as shown in equation <a href="eq:iff_lhf">eq:iff_lhf</a>.
</p>
\begin{equation}
\label{org519caa4}
\boxed{K_{F}(s) = g \cdot \frac{1}{s} \cdot \underbrace{\frac{s/\omega_i}{1 + s/\omega_i}}_{\text{HPF}} = g \cdot \frac{1}{s + \omega_i}}
\end{equation}
<p>
This is equivalent as to slightly <b>shifting the controller pole to the left along the real axis</b>.
</p>
<p>
This modification of the IFF controller is typically done to avoid saturation associated with the pure integrator (<a href="#citeproc_bib_item_9">Preumont, Dufour, and Malekian 1991</a>; <a href="#citeproc_bib_item_6">de Marneffe 2007</a>).
This is however not why this high pass filter is added here.

The Integral Force Feedback Controller is modified such that instead of using pure integrators, pseudo integrators (i.e. low pass filters) are used:

A well damped plant is indeed obtained.

<p>
However, the magnitude of the coupling term (\(d_v/F_u\)) is larger then IFF is applied.

<p>
In order to study how \(\omega_i\) affects the coupling of the damped plant, the closed-loop plant is identified for several \(\omega_i\).
The direct and coupling terms of the plants are shown in Figure <a href="fig:rotating_iff_hpf_damped_plant_effect_wi_coupling">fig:rotating_iff_hpf_damped_plant_effect_wi_coupling</a> (left) and the ratio between the two (i.e. the coupling ratio) is shown in Figure <a href="fig:rotating_iff_hpf_damped_plant_effect_wi_coupling">fig:rotating_iff_hpf_damped_plant_effect_wi_coupling</a> (right).

The coupling ratio is decreasing as \(\omega_i\) increases.
There is therefore a <b>trade-off between achievable damping and coupling ratio</b> for the choice of \(\omega_i\).

<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-4-3">
<p>
Even though the parallel stiffness \(k_p\) has no impact on the open-loop poles (as the overall stiffness \(k\) is kept constant), it has a large impact on the transmission zeros.
Moreover, as the attainable damping is generally proportional to the distance between poles and zeros (<a href="#citeproc_bib_item_7">Preumont 2018</a>), the parallel stiffness \(k_p\) is foreseen to have some impact on the attainable damping.
</p>
<p>
To study this effect, Root Locus plots for several parallel stiffnesses \(k_p > m \Omega^2\) are shown in Figure <a href="fig:rotating_iff_kp_root_locus_effect_kp">fig:rotating_iff_kp_root_locus_effect_kp</a>.
The frequencies of the transmission zeros of the system are increasing with an increase of the parallel stiffness \(k_p\) (thus getting closer to the poles) and the associated attainable damping is reduced.
</p>
<div class="important" id="org3783477">

Therefore, even though the parallel stiffness \(k_p\) should be larger than \(m \Omega^2\) for stability reasons, it should not be taken too large as this would limit the attainable damping.

Let&rsquo;s choose a parallel stiffness equal to \(k_p = 2 m \Omega^2\) and compute the damped plant.

<p>
Even though the two resonances are well damped, the IFF changes the low frequency behavior of the plant which is usually not wanted.
This is due to the fact that &ldquo;pure&rdquo; integrators are used, and that the low frequency loop gains becomes large below some frequency.

In order to lower the low frequency gain, an high pass filter is added to the IFF controller (which is equivalent as shifting the controller pole to the left in the complex plane):

\begin{equation}
K_{\text{IFF}}(s) = g\frac{1}{\omega_i + s} \begin{bmatrix}
1 & 0 \\

Let&rsquo;s see how the high pass filter impacts the attainable damping.
The controller gain \(g\) is kept constant while \(\omega_i\) is changed, and the minimum damping ratio of the damped plant is computed.
The obtained damping ratio as a function of \(\omega_i/\omega_0\) (where \(\omega_0\) is the resonance of the system without rotation) is shown in Figure <a href="fig:rotating_iff_kp_added_hpf_effect_damping">fig:rotating_iff_kp_added_hpf_effect_damping</a>.

<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-7-3">
<p>
For each considered nano-hexapod stiffness, the parallel stiffness \(k_p\) is varied from \(k_{p,\text{min}} = m\Omega^2\) (the minimum stiffness to have unconditional stability) to \(k_{p,\text{max}} = k_n\) (the total nano-hexapod stiffness).
In order to keep the overall stiffness constant, the actuator stiffness \(k_a\) is decreased when \(k_p\) is increased:
</p>
\begin{equation}
k_a = k_n - k_p
\end{equation}
<p>
With \(k_n\) the total nano-hexapod stiffness.
</p>
<p>
An high pass filter is also added to limit the low frequency gain.
The cut-off frequency \(\omega_i\) is chosen to be one tenth of the system resonance:
</p>
\begin{equation}
\omega_i = \omega_0/10
\end{equation}
<p>
The achievable maximum simultaneous damping of all the modes is computed as a function of the parallel stiffnesses.
The comparison for the nano-hexapod stiffnesses is done in Figure <a href="fig:rotating_iff_kp_nass_optimal_gain">fig:rotating_iff_kp_nass_optimal_gain</a>.
It is shown that <b>the soft nano-hexapod cannot yield good damping</b>.
For the two stiff options, the achievable damping starts to significantly decrease when the parallel stiffness is one tenth of the total stiffness \(k_p = k_n/10\).

<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-9">
<p>
In this study, the gyroscopic effects induced by the spindle&rsquo;s rotation have been studied using a spindle model (Section <a href="sec:rotating_system_description">sec:rotating_system_description</a>).
Decentralized IFF with pure integrators was shown to be unstable when applied to rotating platforms (Section <a href="sec:rotating_iff_pure_int">sec:rotating_iff_pure_int</a>).
Two modifications of the classical IFF control have been proposed to overcome this issue.
</p>
<p>
The first modification concerns the controller and consists of adding an high pass filter to the pure integrators.
This is equivalent as to moving the controller pole to the left along the real axis.
This allows the closed loop system to be stable up to some value of the controller gain (Section <a href="sec:rotating_iff_pseudo_int">sec:rotating_iff_pseudo_int</a>).
</p>
<p>
The second proposed modification concerns the mechanical system.
Additional springs are added in parallel with the actuators and force sensors.
It was shown that if the stiffness \(k_p\) of the additional springs is larger than the negative stiffness \(m \Omega^2\) induced by centrifugal forces, the classical decentralized IFF regains its unconditional stability property (Section <a href="sec:rotating_iff_parallel_stiffness">sec:rotating_iff_parallel_stiffness</a>).
</p>
<p>
These two modifications were compared with relative damping control in Section <a href="sec:rotating_comp_act_damp">sec:rotating_comp_act_damp</a>.
While having very different implementations, both proposed modifications were found to be very similar when it comes to the attainable damping and the obtained closed loop system behavior.
</p>
<p>
Then, this study has been applied to a rotating system that corresponds to the nano-hexapod parameters (Section <a href="sec:rotating_nano_hexapod">sec:rotating_nano_hexapod</a>).
To be closer to the real system dynamics, the limited compliance of the micro-station has been taken into account.
Results show that the two proposed IFF modifications can be applied for the NASS even in the presence of spindle rotation.
