Identification of the Stewart Platform using Simscape

Introduction   ignore

We would like to extract a state space model of the Stewart Platform from the Simscape model.

The inputs are:

Symbol Meaning
$\bm{\mathcal{F}}_{d}$ External forces applied in {B}
$\bm{\tau}$ Joint forces
$\bm{\mathcal{F}}$ Cartesian forces applied by the Joints
$\bm{D}_{w}$ Fixed Based translation and rotations around {A}

The outputs are:

Symbol Meaning
$\bm{\mathcal{X}}$ Relative Motion of {B} with respect to {A}
$\bm{\mathcal{L}}$ Joint Displacement
$\bm{F}_{m}$ Force Sensors in each strut
$\bm{v}_{m}$ Inertial Sensors located at $b_i$ measuring in the direction of the strut

An important difference from basic Simulink models is that the states in a physical network are not independent in general, because some states have dependencies on other states through constraints.

Let's check the size of G:

  size(G)
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).

  Gm = minreal(G);
Gm = minreal(G);
6 states removed.

And indeed, we obtain 12 states.

Coordinate transformation

We can perform the following transformation using the ss2ss command.

  Gt = ss2ss(Gm, Gm.C);

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:

  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);

Analysis 

  [V,D] = eig(Gt.A);
Mode Number Resonance Frequency [Hz] Damping Ratio [%]
1.0 174.5 0.9
2.0 174.5 0.7
3.0 202.1 0.7
4.0 237.3 0.6
5.0 237.3 0.5
6.0 283.8 0.5

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.

  ws = imag(diag(D));
  [ws,I] = sort(ws)
  ws = ws(7:end); I = I(7:end);
  for i = 1:length(ws)
  i_mode = I(i); % the argument is the i'th mode
  lambda_i = D(i_mode, i_mode);
  xi_i = V(:,i_mode);

  a_i = real(lambda_i);
  b_i = imag(lambda_i);

Let do 10 periods of the mode.

  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)));
  U = timeseries(U_i, t);

Simulation:

  load('mat/conf_simscape.mat');
  set_param(conf_simscape, 'StopTime', num2str(t(end)));
  sim(mdl);

Save the movie of the mode shape.

  smwritevideo(mdl, sprintf('figs/mode%i', i), ...
               'PlaybackSpeedRatio', 1/(b_i/2/pi), ...
               'FrameRate', 30, ...
               'FrameSize', [800, 400]);
