%% Options for Linearized
options = linearizeOptions;
options.SampleTime = 0;
%% Name of the Simulink File
mdl = 'stewart_platform_model';
%% Input/Output definition
clear io; io_i = 1;
io(io_i) = linio([mdl, '/Controller'], 1, 'openinput'); io_i = io_i + 1; % Actuator Force Inputs [N]
io(io_i) = linio([mdl, '/Relative Motion Sensor'], 1, 'openoutput'); io_i = io_i + 1; % Position/Orientation of {B} w.r.t. {A}

Let's check the size of =G=:
#+begin_src matlab :results replace output
size(G)
#+end_src
#+RESULTS:
: size(G)
: State-space model with 12 outputs, 6 inputs, and 18 states.
: 'org_babel_eoe'
: ans =
: 'org_babel_eoe'
We expect to have only 12 states (corresponding to the 6dof of the mobile platform).
#+begin_src matlab :results replace output
Gm = minreal(G);
#+end_src
#+RESULTS:
: Gm = minreal(G);
: 6 states removed.
And indeed, we obtain 12 states.
** Coordinate transformation
We can perform the following transformation using the =ss2ss= command.
#+begin_src matlab
Gt = ss2ss(Gm, Gm.C);
#+end_src
Then, the =C= matrix of =Gt= is the unity matrix which means that the states of the state space model are equal to the measurements $\bm{Y}$.
The measurements are the 6 displacement and 6 velocities of mobile platform with respect to $\{B\}$.
We could perform the transformation by hand:
#+begin_src matlab
At = Gm.C*Gm.A*pinv(Gm.C);
Bt = Gm.C*Gm.B;
Ct = eye(12);
Dt = zeros(12, 6);
Gt = ss(At, Bt, Ct, Dt);
#+end_src
** Analysis
#+begin_src matlab
[V,D] = eig(Gt.A);
#+end_src
#+begin_src matlab :exports results :results value table replace :tangle no :post addhdr(*this*)
ws = imag(diag(D))/2/pi;
[ws,I] = sort(ws)
xi = 100*real(diag(D))./imag(diag(D));
xi = xi(I);
data2orgtable([[1:length(ws(ws>0))]', ws(ws>0), xi(xi>0)], {}, {'Mode Number', 'Resonance Frequency [Hz]', 'Damping Ratio [%]'}, ' %.1f ');
#+end_src
#+RESULTS:
| Mode Number | Resonance Frequency [Hz] | Damping Ratio [%] |
|-------------+--------------------------+-------------------|
| 1.0 | 780.6 | 0.4 |
| 2.0 | 780.6 | 0.3 |
| 3.0 | 903.9 | 0.3 |
| 4.0 | 1061.4 | 0.3 |
| 5.0 | 1061.4 | 0.2 |
| 6.0 | 1269.6 | 0.2 |
** Visualizing the modes
To visualize the i'th mode, we may excite the system using the inputs $U_i$ such that $B U_i$ is co-linear to $\xi_i$ (the mode we want to excite).
\[ U(t) = e^{\alpha t} ( ) \]
Let's first sort the modes and just take the modes corresponding to a eigenvalue with a positive imaginary part.
#+begin_src matlab
ws = imag(diag(D));
[ws,I] = sort(ws)
ws = ws(7:end); I = I(7:end);
#+end_src
#+begin_src matlab
for i = 1:length(ws)
#+end_src
#+begin_src matlab
i_mode = I(i); % the argument is the i'th mode
#+end_src
#+begin_src matlab
lambda_i = D(i_mode, i_mode);
xi_i = V(:,i_mode);
a_i = real(lambda_i);
b_i = imag(lambda_i);
#+end_src
Let do 10 periods of the mode.
#+begin_src matlab
t = linspace(0, 10/(imag(lambda_i)/2/pi), 1000);
U_i = pinv(Gt.B) * real(xi_i * lambda_i * (cos(b_i * t) + 1i*sin(b_i * t)));
#+end_src
#+begin_src matlab
U = timeseries(U_i, t);
#+end_src
Simulation:
#+begin_src matlab
load('mat/conf_simscape.mat');
set_param(conf_simscape, 'StopTime', num2str(t(end)));
sim(mdl);
#+end_src
Save the movie of the mode shape.
#+begin_src matlab
smwritevideo(mdl, sprintf('figs/mode%i', i), ...
'PlaybackSpeedRatio', 1/(b_i/2/pi), ...
'FrameRate', 30, ...
'FrameSize', [800, 400]);
