 \chapter{First Basic Measurements}
 \label{sec:test_apa_basic_meas}
+
 Before measuring the dynamical characteristics of the APA300ML, simple measurements are performed.
 First, the tolerances (especially flatness) of the mechanical interfaces are checked in Section \ref{ssec:test_apa_geometrical_measurements}.
 Then, the capacitance of the piezoelectric stacks is measured in Section \ref{ssec:test_apa_electrical_measurements}.
 The achievable stroke of the APA300ML is measured using a displacement probe in Section \ref{ssec:test_apa_stroke_measurements}.
 Finally, in Section \ref{ssec:test_apa_spurious_resonances}, the flexible modes of the APA are measured and compared with a finite element model.

+\subsubsection{Identification of the Actuator and Sensor constants}
 
 Once the APA300ML \emph{super element} is included in the multi-body model, the transfer function from \(F_a\) to \(d_L\) and \(d_e\) can be extracted.
 The gains \(g_a\) and \(g_s\) are then tuned such that the gains of the transfer functions match the identified ones.
 By doing so, \(g_s = 4.9\,V/\mu m\) and \(g_a = 23.2\,N/V\) are obtained.
-
-To ensure that the sensitivities \(g_a\) and \(g_s\) are physically valid, it is possible to estimate them from the physical properties of the piezoelectric stack material.
-
-From \cite[p. 123]{fleming14_desig_model_contr_nanop_system}, the relation between relative displacement \(d_L\) of the sensor stack and generated voltage \(V_s\) is given by \eqref{eq:test_apa_piezo_strain_to_voltage} and from \cite{fleming10_integ_strain_force_feedb_high} the relation between the force \(F_a\) and the applied voltage \(V_a\) is given by \eqref{eq:test_apa_piezo_voltage_to_force}.

-\begin{subequations}
-\begin{align}
-  V_s &= \underbrace{\frac{d_{33}}{\epsilon^T s^D n}}_{g_s} d_L \label{eq:test_apa_piezo_strain_to_voltage} \\
-  F_a &= \underbrace{d_{33} n k_a}_{g_a} \cdot V_a, \quad k_a = \frac{c^{E} A}{L} \label{eq:test_apa_piezo_voltage_to_force}
-\end{align}
-\end{subequations}
-
-Unfortunately, the manufacturer of the stack was not willing to share the piezoelectric material properties of the stack used in the APA300ML.
-However, based on the available properties of the APA300ML stacks in the data-sheet, the soft Lead Zirconate Titanate ``THP5H'' from Thorlabs seemed to match quite well the observed properties.
-The properties of this ``THP5H'' material used to compute \(g_a\) and \(g_s\) are listed in Table \ref{tab:test_apa_piezo_properties}.
-
-From these parameters, \(g_s = 5.1\,V/\mu m\) and \(g_a = 26\,N/V\) were obtained, which are close to the constants identified using the experimentally identified transfer functions.
