* Introduction :ignore:
An important aspect of the acrfull:nass is that the nano-hexapod is continuously rotating around a vertical axis while the external metrology is not.
An important aspect of the acrfull:nass is that the nano-hexapod continuously rotates around a vertical axis, whereas the external metrology is not.
Such rotation induces gyroscopic effects that may impact the system dynamics and obtained performance.
To study these effects, a model of a rotating suspended platform is first presented (Section ref:sec:rotating_system_description)
This model is simple enough to be able to derive its dynamics analytically and to well understand its behavior, while still allowing to capture the important physical effects in play.

acrfull:iff is then applied to the rotating platform, and it is shown that the unconditional stability of acrshort:iff is lost due to gyroscopic effects induced by the rotation (Section ref:sec:rotating_iff_pure_int).

Two modifications of the Integral Force Feedback are then proposed.
The first one consists of adding an high pass filter to the acrshort:iff controller (Section ref:sec:rotating_iff_pseudo_int).
It is shown that the acrshort:iff controller is stable for some values of the gain, and that damping can be added to the suspension modes.
Optimal high pass filter cut-off frequency is computed.

The second modification consists of adding a stiffness in parallel to the force sensors (Section ref:sec:rotating_iff_parallel_stiffness).
Under a certain condition, the unconditional stability of the the IFF controller is regained.
Optimal parallel stiffness is then computed.
This study of adapting acrshort:iff for the damping of rotating platforms was the subject of two published papers [[cite:&dehaeze20_activ_dampin_rotat_platf_integ_force_feedb;&dehaeze21_activ_dampin_rotat_platf_using]].

It is then shown that acrfull:rdc is less affected by gyroscopic effects (Section ref:sec:rotating_relative_damp_control).
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 (Section ref:sec:rotating_comp_act_damp).

The studied system consists of a 2 degree of freedom translation stage on top of a rotating stage (Figure ref:fig:rotating_3dof_model_schematic).
The system used to study gyroscopic effects consists of a 2 degree of freedom translation stage on top of a rotating stage (Figure ref:fig:rotating_3dof_model_schematic).
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 $\si{\radian\per\s}$.
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.
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.
After the dynamics of this system is studied, the objective will be to damp the two suspension modes of the payload while the rotating stage performs a constant rotation.

The goal is now to damp the two suspension modes of the payload using an active damping strategy while the rotating stage performs a constant rotation.
As was explained with the uniaxial model, such active damping strategy is key to both reducing the magnification of the response in the vicinity of the resonances cite:collette11_review_activ_vibrat_isolat_strat and to make the plant easier to control for the high authority controller.

In [[cite:&preumont91_activ]], the IFF control scheme has been proposed, where a force sensor, a force actuator and an integral controller are used to increase 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 facilitates to guarantee the stability of the closed loop system cite:preumont02_force_feedb_versus_accel_feedb.

This can be seen in the Root Locus plot (Figure ref:fig:rotating_root_locus_iff_pure_int) where poles corresponding to the controller are bound to the right half plane implying closed-loop system instability.
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 ref:fig:rotating_iff_bode_plot_effect_rot).
The control system is thus canceling the spring forces which makes the suspended platform not capable to hold the payload against centrifugal forces, hence the instability.

** Introduction :ignore:
As was explained in the previous section, the instability of the IFF controller applied on the rotating system is due to the high gain of the integrator at low frequency.
In order to limit the low frequency controller gain, an High Pass Filter (HPF) can be added to the controller as shown in equation eqref:eq:rotating_iff_lhf.
As explained in the previous section, the instability of the IFF controller applied to the rotating system is due to the high gain of the integrator at low-frequency.
To limit the low-frequency controller gain, a acrfull:hpf can be added to the controller, as shown in equation eqref:eq:rotating_iff_lhf.
This is equivalent to slightly shifting the controller pole to the left along the real axis.
This modification of the IFF controller is typically done to avoid saturation associated with the pure integrator cite:preumont91_activ,marneffe07_activ_passiv_vibrat_isolat_dampin_shunt_trans.
This is however not the reason why this high pass filter is added here.

** Modified Integral Force Feedback Controller

The loop gains ($K_F(s)$ times the direct dynamics $f_u/F_u$) with and without the added HPF are shown in Figure ref:fig:rotating_iff_modified_loop_gain.

The optimal values of $\omega_i$ and $g$ are here considered as the values for which the damping of all the closed-loop poles are simultaneously maximized.
The optimal values of $\omega_i$ and $g$ are considered here as the values for which the damping of all the closed-loop poles is simultaneously maximized.
In order to visualize how $\omega_i$ does affect the attainable damping, the Root Locus plots for several $\omega_i$ are displayed in Figure ref:fig:rotating_root_locus_iff_modified_effect_wi.
To visualize how $\omega_i$ does affect the attainable damping, the Root Locus plots for several $\omega_i$ are displayed in Figure ref:fig:rotating_root_locus_iff_modified_effect_wi.
It is shown that even though small $\omega_i$ seem to allow more damping to be added to the suspension modes (see Root locus in Figure ref:fig:rotating_root_locus_iff_modified_effect_wi), the control gain $g$ may be limited to small values due to equation eqref:eq:rotating_gmax_iff_hpf.
In order to study this trade off, the attainable closed-loop damping ratio $\xi_{\text{cl}}$ is computed as a function of $\omega_i/\omega_0$.
To study this trade-off, the attainable closed-loop damping ratio $\xi_{\text{cl}}$ is computed as a function of $\omega_i/\omega_0$.
The gain $g_{\text{opt}}$ at which this maximum damping is obtained is also displayed and compared with the gain $g_{\text{max}}$ at which the system becomes unstable (Figure ref:fig:rotating_iff_hpf_optimal_gain).
For small values of $\omega_i$, the added damping is limited by the maximum allowed control gain $g_{\text{max}}$ (red curve and dashed red curve superimposed in Figure ref:fig:rotating_iff_hpf_optimal_gain) at which point the pole corresponding to the controller becomes unstable.
For larger values of $\omega_i$, the attainable damping ratio decreases as a function of $\omega_i$ as was predicted from the root locus plot of Figure ref:fig:rotating_iff_root_locus_hpf_large.

** Obtained Damped Plant
In order to study how the parameter $\omega_i$ affects the damped plant, the obtained damped plants for several $\omega_i$ are compared in Figure ref:fig:rotating_iff_hpf_damped_plant_effect_wi_plant.
It can be seen that the low frequency coupling increases as $\omega_i$ increases.
There is therefore a trade-off between achievable damping and added coupling when tuning $\omega_i$.
The same trade-off can be seen between achievable damping and loss of compliance at low frequency (see Figure ref:fig:rotating_iff_hpf_effect_wi_compliance).

The transfer functions from the nano-hexapod actuator force $F_u$ to the displacement of the nano-hexapod in the same direction $d_u$ as well as in the orthogonal direction $d_v$ (coupling) are shown in Figure ref:fig:rotating_nano_hexapod_dynamics for all three considered nano-hexapod stiffnesses.

This can be seen by the large shift of the resonance frequencies, and by the induced coupling, which is larger than that for the stiffer nano-hexapods.
The coupling (or interaction) in a MIMO $2 \times 2$ system can be visually estimated as the ratio between the diagonal term and the off-diagonal terms (see corresponding Appendix).

** Optimal IFF with High Pass Filter
Integral Force Feedback with an added High Pass Filter is applied to the three nano-hexapods.
First, the parameters ($\omega_i$ and $g$) of the IFF controller that yield best simultaneous damping are determined from Figure ref:fig:rotating_iff_hpf_nass_optimal_gain.
The IFF parameters are chosen as follow:
- for $k_n = \SI{0.01}{\N\per\mu\m}$ (Figure ref:fig:rotating_iff_hpf_nass_optimal_gain): $\omega_i$ is chosen such that the maximum damping is achieved while the gain is less than half of the maximum gain at which the system is unstable.

** Optimal IFF with Parallel Stiffness
For each considered nano-hexapod stiffness, the parallel stiffness $k_p$ is varied from $k_{p,\text{min}} = m\Omega^2$ (the minimum stiffness that yields 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 ($k_a = k_n - k_p$, with $k_n$ the total nano-hexapod stiffness).
A high pass filter is also added to limit the low frequency gain with a cut-off frequency $\omega_i$ equal to one tenth of the system resonance ($\omega_i = \omega_0/10$).
To keep the overall stiffness constant, the actuator stiffness $k_a$ is decreased when $k_p$ is increased ($k_a = k_n - k_p$, with $k_n$ the total nano-hexapod stiffness).
A high-pass filter is also added to limit the low-frequency gain with a cut-off frequency $\omega_i$ equal to one tenth of the system resonance ($\omega_i = \omega_0/10$).
The achievable maximum simultaneous damping of all the modes is computed as a function of the parallel stiffnesses (Figure ref:fig:rotating_iff_kp_nass_optimal_gain).
It is shown that the soft nano-hexapod cannot yield good damping as the parallel stiffness cannot be made large enough compared to the negative stiffness induced by the rotation.
For the two stiff options, the achievable damping decreases when the parallel stiffness is chosen too high as explained in Section ref:sec:rotating_iff_parallel_stiffness.
Such behavior can be explain by the fact that the achievable damping can be approximated by the distance between the open-loop pole and the open-loop zero [[cite:&preumont18_vibrat_contr_activ_struc_fourt_edition chapt 7.2]].
This distance is larger for stiff nano-hexapod as the open-loop pole will be at higher frequencies while the open-loop zero, which depends on the value of the parallel stiffness, can only be made large for stiff nano-hexapods.

** Introduction :ignore:
Up until now, the model used to study gyroscopic effects consisted of an infinitely stiff rotating stage with a X-Y suspended stage on top.
While quite simplistic, this allowed to study the effects of rotation and the associated limitations when active damping is to be applied.
In this section, the limited compliance of the micro-station is taken into account as well as the rotation of the spindle.

Two modifications of the classical acrshort:iff control have been proposed to overcome this issue.
The first modification concerns the controller and consists of adding a high pass filter to the pure integrators.
The first modification concerns the controller and consists of adding a high-pass filter to the pure integrators.
This is equivalent 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 ref:sec:rotating_iff_pseudo_int).
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 acrshort:iff regains its unconditional stability property (Section ref:sec:rotating_iff_parallel_stiffness).
These two modifications were compared with acrlong:rdc in Section ref:sec:rotating_comp_act_damp.

Then, this study has been applied to a rotating platform that corresponds to the nano-hexapod parameters (Section ref:sec:rotating_nano_hexapod).
As for the uniaxial model, three nano-hexapod stiffness are considered.
The dynamics of the soft nano-hexapod ($k_n = 0.01\,N/\mu m$) was shown to be more depend on the rotation velocity (higher coupling and change of dynamics due to gyroscopic effects).

An important aspect of the \acrfull{nass} is that the nano-hexapod continuously rotates around a vertical axis, whereas the external metrology is not.
Such rotation induces gyroscopic effects that may impact the system dynamics and obtained performance.
To study these effects, a model of a rotating suspended platform is first presented (Section \ref{sec:rotating_system_description})
This model is simple enough to be able to derive its dynamics analytically and to well understand its behavior, while still allowing to capture the important physical effects in play.

The system used to study gyroscopic effects consists of a 2 degree of freedom translation stage on top of a rotating stage (Figure \ref{fig:rotating_3dof_model_schematic}).
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 \(\si{\radian\per\s}\).
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 \(F_u, F_v\).

The position of the payload is represented by \((d_u, d_v, 0)\) expressed in the rotating frame.

The goal is now to damp the two suspension modes of the payload using an active damping strategy while the rotating stage performs a constant rotation.
As was explained with the uniaxial model, such active damping strategy is key to both reducing the magnification of the response in the vicinity of the resonances \cite{collette11_review_activ_vibrat_isolat_strat} and to make the plant easier to control for the high authority controller.

Many active damping techniques have been developed over the years such as Positive Position Feedback (PPF) \cite{lin06_distur_atten_precis_hexap_point,fanson90_posit_posit_feedb_contr_large_space_struc}, Integral Force Feedback (IFF) \cite{preumont91_activ} and Direct Velocity Feedback (DVF) \cite{karnopp74_vibrat_contr_using_semi_activ_force_gener,serrand00_multic_feedb_contr_isolat_base_excit_vibrat,preumont02_force_feedb_versus_accel_feedb}.
In \cite{preumont91_activ}, the IFF control scheme has been proposed, where a force sensor, a force actuator and an integral controller are used to increase 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 facilitates to guarantee the stability of the closed loop system \cite{preumont02_force_feedb_versus_accel_feedb}.
It was latter shown that this property holds for multiple collated actuator/sensor pairs \cite{preumont08_trans_zeros_struc_contr_with}.

This can be seen in the Root Locus plot (Figure \ref{fig:rotating_root_locus_iff_pure_int}) where poles corresponding to the controller are bound to the right half plane implying closed-loop system instability.
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 \ref{fig:rotating_iff_bode_plot_effect_rot}).
The control system is thus canceling the spring forces which makes the suspended platform not capable to hold the payload against centrifugal forces, hence the instability.

The Bode plots of the obtained dynamics are shown in Figure \ref{fig:rotating_iff_effect_kp}.

\section{Optimal IFF with Parallel Stiffness}
For each considered nano-hexapod stiffness, the parallel stiffness \(k_p\) is varied from \(k_{p,\text{min}} = m\Omega^2\) (the minimum stiffness that yields 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 (\(k_a = k_n - k_p\), with \(k_n\) the total nano-hexapod stiffness).
A high pass filter is also added to limit the low frequency gain with a cut-off frequency \(\omega_i\) equal to one tenth of the system resonance (\(\omega_i = \omega_0/10\)).
To keep the overall stiffness constant, the actuator stiffness \(k_a\) is decreased when \(k_p\) is increased (\(k_a = k_n - k_p\), with \(k_n\) the total nano-hexapod stiffness).
A high-pass filter is also added to limit the low-frequency gain with a cut-off frequency \(\omega_i\) equal to one tenth of the system resonance (\(\omega_i = \omega_0/10\)).
The achievable maximum simultaneous damping of all the modes is computed as a function of the parallel stiffnesses (Figure \ref{fig:rotating_iff_kp_nass_optimal_gain}).
It is shown that the soft nano-hexapod cannot yield good damping as the parallel stiffness cannot be made large enough compared to the negative stiffness induced by the rotation.
For the two stiff options, the achievable damping decreases when the parallel stiffness is chosen too high as explained in Section \ref{sec:rotating_iff_parallel_stiffness}.
Such behavior can be explain by the fact that the achievable damping can be approximated by the distance between the open-loop pole and the open-loop zero \cite[chapt 7.2]{preumont18_vibrat_contr_activ_struc_fourt_edition}.
This distance is larger for stiff nano-hexapod as the open-loop pole will be at higher frequencies while the open-loop zero, which depends on the value of the parallel stiffness, can only be made large for stiff nano-hexapods.

Up until now, the model used to study gyroscopic effects consisted of an infinitely stiff rotating stage with a X-Y suspended stage on top.
While quite simplistic, this allowed to study the effects of rotation and the associated limitations when active damping is to be applied.
In this section, the limited compliance of the micro-station is taken into account as well as the rotation of the spindle.

Decentralized \acrlong{iff} with pure integrators was shown to be unstable when applied to rotating platforms (Section \ref{sec:rotating_iff_pure_int}).
Two modifications of the classical \acrshort{iff} control have been proposed to overcome this issue.
The first modification concerns the controller and consists of adding a high pass filter to the pure integrators.
The first modification concerns the controller and consists of adding a high-pass filter to the pure integrators.
This is equivalent 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 \ref{sec:rotating_iff_pseudo_int}).
This allows the closed-loop system to be stable up to some value of the controller gain (Section \ref{sec:rotating_iff_pseudo_int}).
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 \acrshort{iff} regains its unconditional stability property (Section \ref{sec:rotating_iff_parallel_stiffness}).
These two modifications were compared with \acrlong{rdc} in Section \ref{sec:rotating_comp_act_damp}.
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.
While having very different implementations, both proposed modifications were found to be very similar with respect to the attainable damping and the obtained closed-loop system behavior.
Then, this study has been applied to a rotating platform that corresponds to the nano-hexapod parameters (Section \ref{sec:rotating_nano_hexapod}).
As for the uniaxial model, three nano-hexapod stiffness are considered.
The dynamics of the soft nano-hexapod (\(k_n = 0.01\,N/\mu m\)) was shown to be more depend on the rotation velocity (higher coupling and change of dynamics due to gyroscopic effects).
Also, the attainable damping ratio of the soft nano-hexapod when using \acrshort{iff} is limited by gyroscopic effects.

For the moderately stiff nano-hexapod (\(k_n = 1\,N/\mu m\)), the gyroscopic effects are only slightly affecting the system dynamics, and therefore could represent a good alternative to the soft nano-hexapod that was showing better results with the uniaxial model.
