% The dynamics from the excitation voltage $u$ to the measured displacement by the encoder $d_e$ presents much more complicated behavior than the transfer function to the displacement as measured by the Interferometer (compared in Figure ref:fig:test_struts_comp_enc_int).
|
||||
% It will be further investigated why the two dynamics as so different and what are causing all these resonances.
|
||||
|
||||
% As shown in Figure ref:fig:test_struts_comp_enc_int, we can clearly see three spurious resonances at 197Hz, 290Hz and 376Hz.
|
||||
% These resonances correspond to parasitic resonances of the strut itself that was estimated using a finite element model of the strut (Figure ref:fig:test_struts_mode_shapes):
|
||||
% - Mode in X-bending at 189Hz
|
||||
% - Mode in Y-bending at 285Hz
|
||||
% - Mode in Z-torsion at 400Hz
|
||||
|
||||
% The good news is that these resonances are not seen on the interferometer (they are therefore not impacting the axial motion of the strut).
|
||||
% But these resonances are making the use of encoder fixed to the strut difficult.

** Proper struts alignment
|
||||
<<sec:test_struts_meas_all_aligned_struts>>
|
||||
|
||||
The struts are re-aligned and measured using the same test bench.
|
||||
After the positioning pins had been received, the struts were mounted again with the positioning pins.
|
||||
This should make the APA better aligned with the two flexible joints.
|
||||
|
||||
The misalignment between the APA and the flexible joints are measured.
|
||||
|
||||
The results are defined below and summarized in Table ref:tab:meas_misalignment_struts_new_raw.
|
||||
This alignment is then estimated using a length gauge as in the previous sections.
|
||||
Measured $y$ alignments are summarized in Table ref:tab:test_struts_meas_y_misalignment_with_pin and are found to be bellow $55\mu m$ for all the struts which is much better than better (see Table ref:tab:test_struts_meas_y_misalignment).

After using the alignment pins, the misalignment of the APA and flexible joints are much smaller ($< 50\,\mu m$ for all the struts).

|

The dynamics of the re-aligned struts are then measured using the same test bench (Figure ref:fig:test_struts_bench_leg).
|

The comparison of the initial strut dynamics and the dynamics of the re-aligned struts (i.e. with the positioning pin) is made in Figure ref:fig:test_struts_comp_enc_frf_realign.

Both the encoder and the force sensor voltage are measured.
|

Even though the struts are now much better aligned, not much improvement can be observed.
|

The dynamics of the six aligned struts are quite different from one another.
|

|

Here are the leg numbers that have been measured.
|

Having the encoders fixed to the struts may prove to be difficult to use.
|
||||
Therefore, the encoders may be fixed to the nano-hexapod plates instead.

*** Introduction :ignore:
|
||||
|
||||
As the struts are composed of one APA and two flexible joints, it is obvious that the flexible joint characteristics will change the dynamic behavior of the struts.
|
||||
|
||||
Using the Simscape model, the effect of the flexible joint's characteristics on the dynamics as measured on the test bench are studied:
|
||||
- Section ref:sec:struts_effect_bending_stiff_joints: the effects of a change of bending stiffness is studied
|
||||
- Section ref:sec:struts_effect_axial_stiff_joints: the effects of a change of axial stiffness is studied
|
||||
- Section ref:sec:struts_effect_bending_damping_joints: the effects of a change of bending damping is studied
|
||||
As the struts are composed of one APA and two flexible joints, it is expected that the flexible joint characteristics will change the dynamic behavior of the struts.
|
||||
|
||||
Using the Simscape model, the effect of the flexible joint's characteristics on the dynamics as measured on the test bench are studied.
|
||||
The studied dynamics is between $u$ and the encoder displacement $d_e$.

The bending stiffness of the joints has little impact on the transfer function from $u$ to $d_e$.
|

|

#+begin_important
|
||||
The axial stiffness of the flexible joint has a large impact on the frequency of the complex conjugate zero.
|
||||
Using the measured FRF on the test-bench, if is therefore possible to estimate the axial stiffness of the flexible joints from the location of the zero.
|
||||
|
||||
This method gives nice match between the measured FRF and the one extracted from the simscape model, however it could give not so accurate values of the joint's axial stiffness as other factors are also influencing the location of the zero.
|
||||
|
||||
Using this method, an axial stiffness of $70 N/\mu m$ is found to give good results (and is reasonable based on the finite element models).

\begin{itemize}
|

\item[{$\square$}] Should this be included here?
|

\end{itemize}
|
||||
|
||||
The struts are re-aligned and measured using the same test bench.
|
||||
\subsection{Measured misalignment of the APA and flexible joints}
|
||||
The misalignment between the APA and the flexible joints are measured.
|
||||
After the positioning pins had been received, the struts were mounted again with the positioning pins.
|
||||
This should make the APA better aligned with the two flexible joints.
|
||||
|
||||
The results are defined below and summarized in Table \ref{tab:meas_misalignment_struts_new_raw}.
|
||||
This alignment is then estimated using a length gauge as in the previous sections.
|
||||
Measured \(y\) alignments are summarized in Table \ref{tab:test_struts_meas_y_misalignment_with_pin} and are found to be bellow \(55\mu m\) for all the struts which is much better than better (see Table \ref{tab:test_struts_meas_y_misalignment}).

Also, the sum of the measured distances on each side should be 1mm (equal to the thickness difference between the flexible joint and the APA).
|
||||
This is verified in Table \ref{tab:meas_misalignment_struts_new_thickness}.

|

\begin{important}
|
||||
After using the alignment pins, the misalignment of the APA and flexible joints are much smaller (\(< 50\,\mu m\) for all the struts).
|
||||
\end{important}
|
||||
\subsection{FRF Identification - Setup}
|
||||
The excitation signal is a low pass filtered white noise.
|
||||
Both the encoder and the force sensor voltage are measured.
|
||||
The dynamics of the re-aligned struts are then measured using the same test bench (Figure \ref{fig:test_struts_bench_leg}).
|
||||
The comparison of the initial strut dynamics and the dynamics of the re-aligned struts (i.e. with the positioning pin) is made in Figure \ref{fig:test_struts_comp_enc_frf_realign}.
|
||||
|
||||
Here are the leg numbers that have been measured.
|
||||
We get the frequency vector that will be the same for all the frequency domain analysis.
|
||||
\subsection{FRF Identification - Encoder}
|
||||
In this section, the dynamics from \(u\) to \(d_e\) (encoder) is identified.
|
||||
Even though the struts are now much better aligned, not much improvement can be observed.
|
||||
The dynamics of the six aligned struts are quite different from one another.
|
||||
|
||||
Having the encoders fixed to the struts may prove to be difficult to use.
|
||||
Therefore, the encoders may be fixed to the nano-hexapod plates instead.
|
||||
|
||||
Then, the transfer function from the DAC output voltage \(u\) to the measured displacement by the encoder \(d_e\) is computed:
|
||||
The obtained transfer functions are shown in Figure \ref{fig:struts_align_frf_dvf_plant_tf}.
|
||||
\begin{figure}[htbp]

||||

|
||||
|
||||
\begin{important}
|
||||
Even though the struts are much better aligned, we still observe high variability between the struts for the transfer function from \(u\) to \(d_e\).
|
||||
\end{important}
|
||||
\subsection{Conclusion}
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{important}
|
||||
Having the struts well aligned does not change significantly the obtained dynamics.
|
||||
\end{important}
|
||||
|
||||
The measured FRF are now saved for further use.

||||
\section{Effect of flexible joint's characteristics}
|
||||
\section{Effect of the flexible joint}
|
||||
\label{ssec:test_struts_effect_joint_stiffness}
|
||||
As the struts are composed of one APA and two flexible joints, it is obvious that the flexible joint characteristics will change the dynamic behavior of the struts.
|
||||
|
||||
Using the Simscape model, the effect of the flexible joint's characteristics on the dynamics as measured on the test bench are studied:
|
||||
\begin{itemize}
|
||||
\item Section \ref{sec:struts_effect_bending_stiff_joints}: the effects of a change of bending stiffness is studied
|
||||
\item Section \ref{sec:struts_effect_axial_stiff_joints}: the effects of a change of axial stiffness is studied
|
||||
\item Section \ref{sec:struts_effect_bending_damping_joints}: the effects of a change of bending damping is studied
|
||||
\end{itemize}
|
||||
As the struts are composed of one APA and two flexible joints, it is expected that the flexible joint characteristics will change the dynamic behavior of the struts.
|
||||
|
||||
Using the Simscape model, the effect of the flexible joint's characteristics on the dynamics as measured on the test bench are studied.
|
||||
The studied dynamics is between \(u\) and the encoder displacement \(d_e\).
|
||||
\subsection{Effect of bending stiffness of the flexible joints}
|
||||
\label{sec:struts_effect_bending_stiff_joints}
|
||||
|
||||
Let's initialize an APA which is a little bit misaligned.
|
||||
The bending stiffnesses for which the dynamics is identified are defined below.
|
||||
Then the identification is performed for all the values of the bending stiffnesses.
|
||||
The obtained dynamics from DAC voltage to encoder measurements are compared in Figure \ref{fig:effect_enc_bending_stiff}.

||||

|
||||
\end{figure}
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{important}
|
||||
The bending stiffness of the joints has little impact on the transfer function from \(u\) to \(d_e\).
|
||||
\end{important}
|
||||
\subsection{Effect of axial stiffness of the flexible joints}
|
||||
\label{sec:struts_effect_axial_stiff_joints}
|
||||
|
||||
The axial stiffnesses for which the dynamics is identified are defined below.
|
||||
Then the identification is performed for all the values of the bending stiffnesses.
|
||||
The obtained dynamics from DAC voltage to encoder measurements are compared in Figure \ref{fig:effect_enc_axial_stiff}.
|
||||
\begin{figure}[htbp]

\includegraphics[scale=1]{figs/effect_enc_axial_stiff.png}
|

\caption{\label{fig:effect_enc_axial_stiff}Dynamics from DAC output to encoder for several axial stiffnesses}
|
||||
\end{figure}
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{important}
|
||||
The axial stiffness of the flexible joint has a large impact on the frequency of the complex conjugate zero.
|
||||
Using the measured FRF on the test-bench, if is therefore possible to estimate the axial stiffness of the flexible joints from the location of the zero.
|
||||
|
||||
This method gives nice match between the measured FRF and the one extracted from the simscape model, however it could give not so accurate values of the joint's axial stiffness as other factors are also influencing the location of the zero.
|
||||
|
||||
Using this method, an axial stiffness of \(70 N/\mu m\) is found to give good results (and is reasonable based on the finite element models).
|
||||
\end{important}
|
||||
\subsection{Effect of bending damping}
|
||||
\label{sec:struts_effect_bending_damping_joints}
|
||||
Now let's study the effect of the bending damping of the flexible joints.
|
||||
|
||||
The tested bending damping are defined below:
|
||||
Then the identification is performed for all the values of the bending damping.
|
||||
The results are shown in Figure \ref{fig:effect_enc_bending_damp}.
