In Section ref:sec:test_nhexa_mounting, the assembly procedure of the nano-hexapod is presented. To identify the dynamics of the nano-hexapod, a special suspended table was developed, which consisted of a stiff "optical breadboard" suspended on top of four soft springs. The Nano-Hexapod was then fixed on top of the suspended table such that its dynamics is not affected by complex dynamics except from the suspension modes of the table that can be well characterized and modeled (Section ref:sec:test_nhexa_table). The obtained nano-hexapod dynamics is analyzed in Section ref:sec:test_nhexa_dynamics, and compared with the Simscape model in Section ref:sec:test_nhexa_model. * Nano-Hexapod Assembly Procedure <> The assembly of the nano-hexapod is critical for both avoiding additional stress in the flexible joints (that would result in a loss of stroke) and for the precisely determining the Jacobian matrix. The goal was to fix the six struts to the two nano-hexapod plates (shown in Figure ref:fig:test_nhexa_nano_hexapod_plates) while the two plates were parallel and aligned vertically so that all the flexible joints did not experience any stress. To do so, a precisely machined mounting tool (Figure ref:fig:test_nhexa_center_part_hexapod_mounting) is used to position the two nano-hexapod plates during the assembly procedure. #+name: fig:test_nhexa_received_parts #+caption: Received Nano-Hexapod plates (\subref{fig:test_nhexa_nano_hexapod_plates}) and mounting tool used to position the two plates during assembly (\subref{fig:test_nhexa_center_part_hexapod_mounting}) #+attr_latex: :options [htbp] #+begin_figure #+attr_latex: :caption \subcaption{\label{fig:test_nhexa_nano_hexapod_plates}Received top and bottom plates} #+attr_latex: :options {0.59\textwidth} #+begin_subfigure #+attr_org: :width 800px #+attr_latex: :height 4cm [[file:figs/test_nhexa_nano_hexapod_plates.jpg]] #+end_subfigure #+attr_latex: :caption \subcaption{\label{fig:test_nhexa_center_part_hexapod_mounting}Mounting tool} #+attr_latex: :options {0.39\textwidth} #+begin_subfigure #+attr_org: :width 800px #+attr_latex: :height 4cm [[file:figs/test_nhexa_center_part_hexapod_mounting.jpg]] #+end_subfigure #+end_figure The mechanical tolerances of the received plates were checked using a FARO arm[fn:1] (Figure ref:fig:test_nhexa_plates_tolerances) and were found to comply with the requirements[fn:2]. The same is done for the mounting tool[fn:3] The two plates were then fixed to the mounting tool, as shown in Figure ref:fig:test_nhexa_mounting_tool_hexapod_top_view. The main goal of this "mounting tool" is to position the flexible joint interfaces (the "V" shapes) of both plates so that a cylinder can rest on the 4 flat interfaces at the same time. #+name: fig:test_nhexa_dimensional_check #+caption: A Faro arm is used to dimensionally check the received parts (\subref{fig:test_nhexa_plates_tolerances}) and after mounting the two plates with the mounting part (\subref{fig:test_nhexa_mounting_tool_hexapod_top_view}) #+attr_latex: :options [htbp] #+begin_figure #+attr_latex: :caption \subcaption{\label{fig:test_nhexa_plates_tolerances}Dimensional check of the bottom plate} #+attr_latex: :options {0.49\textwidth} #+begin_subfigure #+attr_org: :width 800px #+attr_latex: :width 0.95\linewidth [[file:figs/test_nhexa_plates_tolerances.jpg]] #+end_subfigure #+attr_latex: :caption \subcaption{\label{fig:test_nhexa_mounting_tool_hexapod_top_view}Wanted coaxiality between interfaces} #+attr_latex: :options {0.49\textwidth} #+begin_subfigure #+attr_org: :width 800px #+attr_latex: :width 0.95\linewidth [[file:figs/test_nhexa_mounting_tool_hexapod_top_view.png]] #+end_subfigure #+end_figure The quality of the positioning can be estimated by measuring the "straightness" of the top and bottom "V" interfaces. This corresponds to the diameter of the smallest cylinder which contains all points along the measured axis. This was again done using the FARO arm, and the results for all six struts are summarized in Table ref:tab:measured_straightness. The straightness was found to be better than $15\,\mu m$ for all struts[fn:4], which is sufficiently good to not induce significant stress of the flexible joint during assembly. #+name: tab:measured_straightness #+caption: Measured straightness between the two "V" shapes for the six struts.

First, the top flexible joint is fixed so that its flat reference surface is in contact with the top plate. This step precisely determines the position of the flexible joint with respect to the top plate. The bottom flexible joint is then fixed. After mounting all six struts, the mounting tool (Figure ref:fig:test_nhexa_center_part_hexapod_mounting) can be disassembled, and the nano-hexapod as shown in Figure ref:fig:test_nhexa_nano_hexapod_mounted is fully assembled. #+name: fig:test_nhexa_nano_hexapod_mounted #+caption: Mounted Nano-Hexapod #+attr_org: :width 800px #+attr_latex: :width \linewidth [[file:figs/test_nhexa_mounted_hexapod.jpg]] * Suspended Table :PROPERTIES: :header-args:matlab+: :tangle matlab/test_nhexa_1_suspended_table.m :END: <> ** Introduction When a dynamical system is fixed to a support (such as a granite or an optical table), its dynamics will couple to the support dynamics. This may results in additional modes appearing in the system dynamics, which are difficult to predict and model. To prevent this issue, the strategy adopted here is to mount the nano-hexapod on top a suspended table with low frequency suspension modes. In this case, the modes of the suspended table were chosen to be at much lower frequency than those of the nano-hexapod such that good decoupling is obtained. Another key advantage is that the suspension modes of the table can be easily modeled using Simscape. Therefore, the measured dynamics of the nano-hexapod on top of the suspended table can be compared to a Simscape model representing the same experimental conditions. The model of the Nano-Hexapod can thus be precisely tuned to match the measured dynamics. The developed suspended table is described in Section ref:ssec:test_nhexa_table_setup. The modal analysis of the table is done in ref:ssec:test_nhexa_table_identification. Finally, the Simscape model representing the suspended table was tuned to match the measured modes (Section ref:ssec:test_nhexa_table_model). ** Matlab Init :noexport:ignore: #+begin_src matlab %% test_nhexa_1_suspended_table.m #+end_src #+begin_src matlab :tangle no :exports none :results silent :noweb yes :var current_dir=(file-name-directory buffer-file-name) <> #+end_src #+begin_src matlab :exports none :results silent :noweb yes <> #+end_src #+begin_src matlab :tangle no :noweb yes <> #+end_src #+begin_src matlab :eval no :noweb yes <> #+end_src #+begin_src matlab :noweb yes <> #+end_src #+begin_src matlab :noweb yes <> #+end_src ** Experimental Setup <> The design of the suspended table is quite straightforward. First, an optical table with high frequency flexible mode was selected[fn:5]. Then, four springs[fn:6] were selected with low spring rate such that the suspension modes are below 10Hz. Finally, some interface elements were designed, and mechanical lateral mechanical stops were added (Figure ref:fig:test_nhexa_suspended_table_cad). #+name: fig:test_nhexa_suspended_table_cad #+caption: CAD View of the vibration table. The purple cylinders are representing the soft springs. #+attr_latex: :width 0.7\linewidth [[file:figs/test_nhexa_suspended_table_cad.jpg]] ** Modal analysis of the suspended table <> In order to perform a modal analysis of the suspended table, a total of 15 3-axis accelerometers[fn:7] were fixed to the breadboard. Using an instrumented hammer, the first 9 modes could be identified and are summarized in Table ref:tab:test_nhexa_suspended_table_modes. The first 6 modes are suspension modes (i.e. rigid body mode of the breadboard) and are located below 10Hz. The next modes are the flexible modes of the breadboard as shown in Figure ref:fig:test_nhexa_table_flexible_modes, and are located above 700Hz. #+attr_latex: :options [t]{0.45\linewidth} #+begin_minipage #+name: fig:test_nhexa_suspended_table #+caption: Mounted suspended table.

The 4 springs are here modeled with "bushing joints" that have stiffness and damping properties in x, y, and z directions. The 3D representation of the model is shown in Figure ref:fig:test_nhexa_suspended_table_simscape where the 4 "bushing joints" are represented by blue cylinders. #+name: fig:test_nhexa_suspended_table_simscape #+caption: 3D representation of the simscape model #+attr_latex: :width 0.8\linewidth [[file:figs/test_nhexa_suspended_table_simscape.png]] The model order is 12, which corresponds to the 6 suspension modes. The inertia properties of the parts were determined from the geometry and material densities. The stiffness of the springs was initially set from the datasheet nominal value of $17.8\,N/mm$ and then reduced down to $14\,N/mm$ to better match the measured suspension modes. The stiffness of the springs in the horizontal plane is set at $0.5\,N/mm$. The obtained suspension modes of the Simscape model are compared with the measured modes in Table ref:tab:test_nhexa_suspended_table_simscape_modes. #+begin_src matlab %% Configure Simscape Model table_type = 'Suspended'; % On top of vibration table device_type = 'None'; % No device on the vibration table payload_num = 0; % No Payload %% Input/Output definition clear io; io_i = 1; io(io_i) = linio([mdl, '/F'], 1, 'openinput'); io_i = io_i + 1; io(io_i) = linio([mdl, '/F_v'], 1, 'openoutput'); io_i = io_i + 1; %% Run the linearization G = linearize(mdl, io); G.InputName = {'Fx', 'Fy', 'Fz', 'Mx', 'My', 'Mz'}; G.OutputName = {'Vdx', 'Vdy', 'Vdz', 'Vrx', 'Vry', 'Vrz'}; %% Compute the resonance frequencies ws = eig(G.A); ws = ws(imag(ws) > 0); #+end_src #+name: tab:test_nhexa_suspended_table_simscape_modes #+caption: Comparison of the identified suspension modes with the Simscape model and measured experimentally #+attr_latex: :environment tabularx :width 0.6\linewidth :align Xcccc #+attr_latex: :center t :booktabs t | Directions | $D_x$, $D_y$ | $R_z$ | $D_z$ | $R_x$, $R_y$ | |--------------+--------------+--------+--------+--------------| | Experimental | 1.3 Hz | 2.0 Hz | 6.9 Hz | 9.5 Hz | | Simscape | 1.3 Hz | 1.8 Hz | 6.8 Hz | 9.5 Hz | ** Conclusion :PROPERTIES: :UNNUMBERED: t :END: In this section, a suspended table with low frequency suspension modes and high frequency flexible modes was presented. This suspended table is used in Section ref:sec:test_nhexa_dynamics for dynamical identification of the Nano-Hexapod. The objective is to accurately identify the dynamics of the nano-hexapod, isolated from complex support dynamics. The key point of this strategy was the ability to accurately model the suspended table. To do so, a modal analysis of the suspended table was performed in Section ref:ssec:test_nhexa_table_identification, validating the low frequency suspension modes and high frequency flexible modes. Then, a multi-body model of this suspended table was tuned to match the measurements (Section ref:ssec:test_nhexa_table_model). * Nano-Hexapod Measured Dynamics :PROPERTIES: :header-args:matlab+: :tangle matlab/test_nhexa_2_dynamics.m :END: <> ** Introduction :ignore: The Nano-Hexapod was then mounted on top of the suspended table, as shown in Figure ref:fig:test_nhexa_hexa_suspended_table. All instrumentation (Speedgoat with ADC, DAC, piezoelectric voltage amplifiers and digital interfaces for the encoder) were configured and connected to the nano-hexapod using many cables. #+name: fig:test_nhexa_hexa_suspended_table #+caption: Mounted Nano-Hexapod on top of the suspended table #+attr_latex: :width 0.7\linewidth [[file:figs/test_nhexa_hexa_suspended_table.jpg]] A modal analysis of the nano-hexapod is first performed in Section ref:ssec:test_nhexa_enc_struts_modal_analysis. The results of the modal analysis will be useful to better understand the measured dynamics from actuators to sensors. A block diagram of the (open-loop) system is shown in Figure ref:fig:test_nhexa_nano_hexapod_signals. The frequency response functions from controlled signals $\mathbf{u}$ to the force sensors voltages $\mathbf{V}_s$ and to the encoders measured displacements $\mathbf{d}_e$ are experimentally identified in Section ref:ssec:test_nhexa_identification.

The $6 \times 6$ FRF matrix from $\mathbf{u}$ ot $\mathbf{d}_e$ is shown in Figure ref:fig:test_nhexa_identified_frf_de. The diagonal terms are displayed using colored lines, and all the 30 off-diagonal terms are displayed by gray lines. All six diagonal terms are well superimposed up to at least $1\,kHz$, indicating good manufacturing and mounting uniformity. Below the first suspension mode, good decoupling can be observed (the amplitude of all off-diagonal terms are $\approx 20$ times smaller than the diagonal terms). From 10Hz up to 1kHz, around 10 resonance frequencies can be observed. The first 4 are suspension modes (at 122Hz, 143Hz, 165Hz and 191Hz) which correlate the modes measured during the modal analysis in Section ref:ssec:test_nhexa_enc_struts_modal_analysis. Three modes at 237Hz, 349Hz and 395Hz are attributed to the internal strut resonances (this will be checked in Section ref:ssec:test_nhexa_comp_model_coupling). Except for the mode at 237Hz, their impact on the dynamics is small. The two modes at 665Hz and 695Hz are attributed to the flexible modes of the top platform. Other modes can be observed above 1kHz, which can be attributed to flexible modes of the encoder supports or to flexible modes of the top platform. Up to at least 1kHz, an alternating pole/zero pattern is observed, which makes the control easier to tune. This would not have occurred if the encoders were fixed to the struts. #+begin_src matlab %% Identification of the transfer function from u to de and from u to Vs without payload % Load identification data load('test_nhexa_identification_data_mass_0.mat', 'data'); % Setup useful variables Ts = 1e-4; % Sampling Time [s] Nfft = floor(1/Ts); % Number of points for the FFT computation win = hanning(Nfft); % Hanning window Noverlap = floor(Nfft/2); % Overlap between frequency analysis % And we get the frequency vector [~, f] = tfestimate(data{1}.u, data{1}.de, win, Noverlap, Nfft, 1/Ts); % Transfer function from u to de G_de = zeros(length(f), 6, 6); for i = 1:6 G_de(:,:,i) = tfestimate(data{i}.u, data{i}.de, win, Noverlap, Nfft, 1/Ts); end % Transfer function from u to Vs G_Vs = zeros(length(f), 6, 6); for i = 1:6 G_Vs(:,:,i) = tfestimate(data{i}.u, data{i}.Vs, win, Noverlap, Nfft, 1/Ts); end #+end_src #+begin_src matlab :exports none %% Bode plot for the transfer function from u to de figure; tiledlayout(3, 1, 'TileSpacing', 'Compact', 'Padding', 'None'); ax1 = nexttile([2,1]); hold on; for i = 1:5 for j = i+1:6 plot(f, abs(G_de(:, i, j)), 'color', [0, 0, 0, 0.2], ...

To study how the dynamics changes with the payload mass, up to three "cylindrical masses" of $13\,kg$ each can be added for a total of $\approx 40\,kg$. These three cylindrical masses on top of the nano-hexapod are shown in Figure ref:fig:test_nhexa_table_mass_3. #+name: fig:test_nhexa_table_mass_3 #+caption: Picture of the nano-hexapod with the added three cylindrical masses for a total of $\approx 40\,kg$ #+attr_org: :width 800px #+attr_latex: :width 0.8\linewidth [[file:figs/test_nhexa_table_mass_3.jpg]] #+begin_src matlab %% Set to true only if all the FRF matrices should again computed % from the experimental data compute_frf = false; if compute_frf #+end_src #+begin_src matlab %% Identification of the FRF matrices from u to de and to Vs % Load identification Data meas_added_mass = {... load('test_nhexa_identification_data_mass_0.mat', 'data'), .... load('test_nhexa_identification_data_mass_1.mat', 'data'), .... load('test_nhexa_identification_data_mass_2.mat', 'data'), .... load('test_nhexa_identification_data_mass_3.mat', 'data')}; % Setup useful variables Ts = 1e-4; % Sampling Time [s] Nfft = floor(1/Ts); % Number of points for the FFT computation win = hanning(Nfft); % Hanning window Noverlap = floor(Nfft/2); % Overlap between frequency analysis % And we get the frequency vector [~, f] = tfestimate(meas_added_mass{1}.data{1}.u, meas_added_mass{1}.data{1}.de, win, Noverlap, Nfft, 1/Ts); % FRF from u to de G_de = {}; for i_mass = [0:3] G_de(i_mass+1) = {zeros(length(f), 6, 6)}; for i_strut = 1:6 G_de{i_mass+1}(:,:,i_strut) = tfestimate(meas_added_mass{i_mass+1}.data{i_strut}.u, meas_added_mass{i_mass+1}.data{i_strut}.de, win, Noverlap, Nfft, 1/Ts); end end % FRF from u to Vs G_Vs = {}; for i_mass = [0:3] G_Vs(i_mass+1) = {zeros(length(f), 6, 6)}; for i_strut = 1:6 G_Vs{i_mass+1}(:,:,i_strut) = tfestimate(meas_added_mass{i_mass+1}.data{i_strut}.u, meas_added_mass{i_mass+1}.data{i_strut}.Vs, win, Noverlap, Nfft, 1/Ts); end end #+end_src #+begin_src matlab :exports none :tangle no % The identified dynamics are then saved for further use. save('matlab/mat/test_nhexa_identified_frf_masses.mat', 'f', 'G_Vs', 'G_de') #+end_src #+begin_src matlab :eval no % The identified dynamics are then saved for further use. save('./mat/test_nhexa_identified_frf_masses.mat', 'f', 'G_Vs', 'G_de') #+end_src #+begin_src matlab end #+end_src #+begin_src matlab :exports none %% Load the identified transfer functions frf_ol = load('test_nhexa_identified_frf_masses.mat', 'f', 'G_Vs', 'G_de'); #+end_src The obtained frequency response functions from actuator signal $u_i$ to the associated encoder $d_{ei}$ for the four payload conditions (no mass, 13kg, 26kg and 39kg) are shown in Figure ref:fig:test_nhexa_identified_frf_de_masses. As expected, the frequency of the suspension modes decreased with increasing payload mass. The low frequency gain does not change because it is linked to the stiffness property of the nano-hexapod and not to its mass property. The frequencies of the two flexible modes of the top plate first decreased significantly when the first mass was added (from $\approx 700\,Hz$ to $\approx 400\,Hz$). This is because the added mass is composed of two half cylinders that are not fixed together. Therefore, it adds a lot of mass to the top plate without increasing stiffness in one direction. When more than one "mass layer" is added, the half cylinders are added at some angles such that rigidity is added in all directions (see how the three mass "layers" are positioned in Figure ref:fig:test_nhexa_table_mass_3). In this case, the frequency of these flexible modes is increased. In practice, the payload should be one solid body, and no decrease in the frequency of this flexible mode should be observed. The apparent amplitude of the flexible mode of the strut at 237Hz becomes smaller as the payload mass increased. The measured FRFs from $u_i$ to $V_{si}$ are shown in Figure ref:fig:test_nhexa_identified_frf_Vs_masses. For all tested payloads, the measured FRF always have alternating poles and zeros, indicating that IFF can be applied in a robust manner. #+begin_src matlab :exports none %% Bode plot for the transfer function from u to de - Several payloads masses = [0, 13, 26, 39]; figure; tiledlayout(3, 1, 'TileSpacing', 'Compact', 'Padding', 'None'); ax1 = nexttile([2,1]); hold on; for i_mass = [0:3] % Diagonal terms plot(frf_ol.f, abs(frf_ol.G_de{i_mass+1}(:,1, 1)), 'color', [colors(i_mass+1,:), 0.5], ...

The frequency response functions from the six DAC voltages $\mathbf{u}$ to the six encoders measured displacements $\mathbf{d}_e$ displays alternating complex conjugate poles and complex conjugate zeros up to at least 1kHz. At low frequencies, the coupling is small, indicating the correct assembly of all parts. This should enable the design of a decentralized positioning controller based on the encoders for relative positioning purposes. The suspension and flexible modes measured during the modal analysis (Section ref:ssec:test_nhexa_enc_struts_modal_analysis) are also observed in the dynamics. Many other modes are present above 700Hz, which will inevitably limit the achievable bandwidth. The observed effect of the payload's mass on the dynamics was quite large, which also represents a complex control challenge. The frequency response functions from the six DAC voltages $\mathbf{u}$ to the six force sensors voltages $\mathbf{V}_s$ all have alternating complex conjugate poles and complex conjugate zeros for all the tested payloads. This indicates that it is possible to implement decentralized Integral Force Feedback in a robust manner. * Nano-Hexapod Model Dynamics :PROPERTIES: :header-args:matlab+: :tangle matlab/test_nhexa_3_model.m :END: <> ** Introduction :ignore: In this section, the dynamics measured in Section ref:sec:test_nhexa_dynamics is compared with those estimated from the Simscape model.

Both the "direct" terms (Section ref:ssec:test_nhexa_comp_model) and "coupling" terms (Section ref:ssec:test_nhexa_comp_model_coupling) of the Simscape model are compared with the measured dynamics. Second, it should also represents how the system dynamics changes when a payload is fixed to the top platform.

The stiffness values of the flexible joints were chosen based on the values estimated using the test bench and on the FEM. The parameters of the APA model were determined from the test bench of the APA. The $6 \times 6$ transfer function matrices from $\mathbf{u}$ to $\mathbf{d}_e$ and from $\mathbf{u}$ to $\mathbf{V}_s$ are then extracted from the Simscape model. First, is it evaluated how well the models matches the "direct" terms of the measured FRF matrix. To do so, the diagonal terms of the extracted transfer function matrices are compared with the measured FRF in Figure ref:fig:test_nhexa_comp_simscape_diag. It can be seen that the 4 suspension modes of the nano-hexapod (at 122Hz, 143Hz, 165Hz and 191Hz) are well modeled. The three resonances that were attributed to "internal" flexible modes of the struts (at 237Hz, 349Hz and 395Hz) cannot be seen in the model, which is reasonable because the APAs are here modeled as a simple uniaxial 2-DoF system. At higher frequencies, no resonances can be observed in the model, as the top plate and the encoder supports are modeled as rigid bodies. #+begin_src matlab :exports none %% Diagonal elements of the FRF matrix from u to de figure; tiledlayout(3, 1, 'TileSpacing', 'Compact', 'Padding', 'None'); ax1 = nexttile([2,1]); hold on; plot(frf_ol.f, abs(frf_ol.G_de{1}(:,1, 1)), 'color', [colors(1,:),0.5], ...

Instead of comparing the full 36 elements of the $6 \times 6$ FFR matrix from $\mathbf{u}$ to $\mathbf{d}_e$, only the first "column" is compared (Figure ref:fig:test_nhexa_comp_simscape_de_all), which corresponds to the transfer function from the command $u_1$ to the six measured encoder displacements $d_{e1}$ to $d_{e6}$. It can be seen that the coupling in the model matches the measurements well up to the first un-modeled flexible mode at 237Hz. Similar results are observed for all other coupling terms and for the transfer function from $\mathbf{u}$ to $\mathbf{V}_s$. #+begin_src matlab :exports none %% Comparison of the plants (encoder output) when tuning the misalignment i_input = 1; figure; tiledlayout(2, 3, 'TileSpacing', 'tight', 'Padding', 'tight'); ax1 = nexttile(); hold on; plot(frf_ol.f, abs(frf_ol.G_de{1}(:, 1, i_input))); plot(freqs, abs(squeeze(freqresp(sim_ol.G_de{1}(1, i_input), freqs, 'Hz')))); text(54, 4e-4, '$d_{e1}/u_{1}$', 'Horiz','left', 'Vert','top') hold off; set(gca, 'XScale', 'log'); set(gca, 'YScale', 'log'); set(gca, 'XTickLabel',[]); ylabel('Amplitude [m/V]'); ax2 = nexttile(); hold on; plot(frf_ol.f, abs(frf_ol.G_de{1}(:, 2, i_input))); plot(freqs, abs(squeeze(freqresp(sim_ol.G_de{1}(2, i_input), freqs, 'Hz')))); text(54, 4e-4, '$d_{e2}/u_{1}$', 'Horiz','left', 'Vert','top') hold off; set(gca, 'XScale', 'log'); set(gca, 'YScale', 'log'); set(gca, 'XTickLabel',[]); set(gca, 'YTickLabel',[]); ax3 = nexttile(); hold on; plot(frf_ol.f, abs(frf_ol.G_de{1}(:, 3, i_input)), ...

Even the mode 395Hz can be observed in the model. Therefore, if the modes of the struts are to be modeled, the /super-element/ of the APA300ML can be used at the cost of obtaining a much higher order model. #+begin_src matlab %% Load the plant model with Flexible APA flex_ol = load('test_nhexa_simscape_flexible_masses.mat', 'G_Vs', 'G_de'); #+end_src #+begin_src matlab :exports none %% Comparison of the plants (encoder output) when tuning the misalignment i_input = 1; figure; tiledlayout(2, 3, 'TileSpacing', 'tight', 'Padding', 'tight'); ax1 = nexttile(); hold on; plot(frf_ol.f, abs(frf_ol.G_de{1}(:, 1, i_input))); plot(freqs, abs(squeeze(freqresp(flex_ol.G_de{1}(1, i_input), freqs, 'Hz')))); text(54, 4e-4, '$d_{e1}/u_{1}$', 'Horiz','left', 'Vert','top') hold off; set(gca, 'XScale', 'log'); set(gca, 'YScale', 'log'); set(gca, 'XTickLabel',[]); ylabel('Amplitude [m/V]'); ax2 = nexttile(); hold on; plot(frf_ol.f, abs(frf_ol.G_de{1}(:, 2, i_input))); plot(freqs, abs(squeeze(freqresp(flex_ol.G_de{1}(2, i_input), freqs, 'Hz')))); text(54, 4e-4, '$d_{e2}/u_{1}$', 'Horiz','left', 'Vert','top') hold off; set(gca, 'XScale', 'log'); set(gca, 'YScale', 'log'); set(gca, 'XTickLabel',[]); set(gca, 'YTickLabel',[]); ax3 = nexttile(); hold on; plot(frf_ol.f, abs(frf_ol.G_de{1}(:, 3, i_input)), ...

The model dynamics is therefore compared with the measured dynamics for 4 payloads (no payload, 13kg, 26kg and 39kg) in Figure ref:fig:test_nhexa_comp_simscape_diag_masses. The observed shift of the suspension modes to lower frequencies with increased payload mass is well represented by the Simscape model. The complex conjugate zeros also well match the experiments both for the encoder outputs (Figure ref:fig:test_nhexa_comp_simscape_de_diag_masses) and the force sensor outputs (Figure ref:fig:test_nhexa_comp_simscape_Vs_diag_masses). Note that the model displays smaller damping than that observed experimentally for high values of the payload mass. One option could be to tune the damping as a function of the mass (similar to what is done with the Rayleigh damping). However, as decentralized IFF will be applied, the damping is actively brought, and the open-loop damping value should have very little impact on the obtained plant dynamics. #+begin_src matlab :exports none %% Bode plot for the transfer function from u to de masses = [0, 13, 26, 39]; figure; tiledlayout(3, 1, 'TileSpacing', 'Compact', 'Padding', 'None'); ax1 = nexttile([2,1]); hold on; for i_mass = [0:3] plot(frf_ol.f, abs(frf_ol.G_de{i_mass+1}(:,1, 1)), 'color', [colors(i_mass+1,:), 0.2], ...

Both FRF matrices from $\mathbf{u}$ to $\mathbf{V}_s$ and from $\mathbf{u}$ to $\mathbf{d}_e$ are well matching with the measurements, even when considering coupling (i.e. off-diagonal) terms, which are very important from a control perspective. At frequencies above the suspension modes, the Nano-Hexapod model became inaccurate because the flexible modes were not modeled. It was found that modeling the APA300ML using a "super-element" allows to model the internal resonances of the struts. The same can be done with the top platform and the encoder supports; however, the model order would be higher and may become unpractical for simulation. * Conclusion The goal of this test bench was to obtain an accurate model of the nano-hexapod that could then be included on top of the micro-station model. This strategy was to identify the nano-hexapod dynamics under conditions in which all factors that could have affected the nano-hexapod dynamics were considered. This was achieved by developing a suspended table with low frequency suspension modes that can be accurately modeled. Although the dynamics of the nano-hexapod was indeed impacted by the dynamics of the suspended platform, this impact was also considered in the Simscape model, and a good match was obtained. Obtaining a model that accurately represents the complex dynamics of the Nano-Hexapod was made possible by the modeling approach used in this study. This approach involved tuning and validating models of individual components (such as the APA and flexible joints) using dedicated test benches. The different models could then be combined to form the Nano-Hexapod dynamical model. If a model of the nano-hexapod was developed in one time, it would be difficult to tune all the model parameters to match the measured dynamics, or even to know if the model "structure" would be adequate to represent the system dynamics. * Bibliography :ignore: #+latex: \printbibliography[heading=bibintoc,title={Bibliography}] * Glossary :ignore: [[printglossaries:]] # #+latex: \printglossary[type=\acronymtype] # #+latex: \printglossary[type=\glossarytype] # #+latex: \printglossary * Helping Functions :noexport: ** Initialize Path #+NAME: m-init-path #+BEGIN_SRC matlab addpath('./matlab/');
