In this document is explained how the Stewart Platform architecture is defined.
</p>
<p>
Some efforts has been made such that the procedure for the definition of the Stewart Platform architecture is as logical and clear as possible.
</p>
<p>
When possible, the notations are compatible with the one used in (<a href="#citeproc_bib_item_1">Taghirad 2013</a>).
</p>
<p>
The definition of the Stewart platform is done in three main parts:
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>First, the geometry if defined (Section <a href="#orga5e83f9">1</a>)</li>
<li>Then, the inertia of the mechanical elements are defined (Section <a href="#orga326389">2</a>)</li>
<li>Finally, the Stiffness and Damping characteristics of the elements are defined (Section <a href="#org96459ea">3</a>)</li>
</ul>
<p>
In section <a href="#orgaede9ee">4</a>, the procedure the initialize the Stewart platform is summarize and the associated Matlab code is shown.
</p>
<p>
Finally, all the Matlab function used to initialize the Stewart platform are described in section <a href="#orgac086c4">5</a>.
</p>
<div id="outline-container-org8d01b94" class="outline-2">

<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-1">
<p>
<a id="orga5e83f9"></a>
</p>
<p>
Stewart platforms are generated in multiple steps:
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>Definition of the frames</li>
<li>Definition of the location of the joints</li>
<li>Computation of the length and orientation of the struts</li>
<li>Choice of the rest position of the mobile platform</li>
</ul>
<p>
This steps are detailed below.
</p>
</div>
<div id="outline-container-org8fe4e0e" class="outline-3">
<h3 id="org8fe4e0e"><span class="section-number-3">1.1</span> Frames Definition</h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-1-1">
<p>
We define 4 important <b>frames</b> (see Figure <a href="#org9940a8f">1</a>):
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>\(\{F\}\): Frame fixed to the <b>Fixed</b> base and located at the center of its bottom surface.
This is used to fix the Stewart platform to some support.</li>
<li>\(\{M\}\): Frame fixed to the <b>Moving</b> platform and located at the center of its top surface.
This is used to place things on top of the Stewart platform.</li>
<li>\(\{A\}\): Frame fixed to the fixed base.</li>
<li>\(\{B\}\): Frame fixed to the moving platform.</li>
</ul>
<p>
Even though frames \(\{A\}\) and \(\{B\}\) don&rsquo;t usually correspond to physical elements, they are of primary importance.
Firstly, they are used for the definition of the motion of the Mobile platform with respect to the fixed frame:
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>In position: \({}^A\bm{P}_{B}\) (read: Position of frame \(\{B\}\) expressed in frame \(\{A\}\))</li>
<li>In rotation: \({}^A\bm{R}_{B}\) (read: The rotation matrix that express the orientation of frame \(\{B\}\) expressed in frame \(\{A\}\))</li>
</ul>
<p>
The frames \(\{A\}\) and \(\{B\}\) are used for all the kinematic analysis (Jacobian, Stiffness matrix, &#x2026;).
</p>
<p>
Typical choice of \(\{A\}\) and \(\{B\}\) are:
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>Center of mass of the payload</li>
<li>Location where external forces are applied to the mobile platform (for instance when the mobile platform is in contact with a stiff environment)</li>
<li>Center of the cube for the cubic configuration</li>
</ul>
<p>
The definition of the frames is done with the <code>initializeFramesPositions</code> function (<a href="#org3009bf2">link</a>);

<div id="outline-container-org1fc986a" class="outline-3">
<h3 id="org1fc986a"><span class="section-number-3">1.2</span> Location of the Spherical Joints</h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-1-2">
<p>
Then, we define the <b>location of the spherical joints</b> (see Figure <a href="#org5a59399">2</a>):
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>\(\bm{a}_{i}\) are the position of the spherical joints fixed to the fixed base</li>
<li>\(\bm{b}_{i}\) are the position of the spherical joints fixed to the moving platform</li>
</ul>
<p>
The location of the joints will define the Geometry of the Stewart platform.
Many characteristics of the platform depend on the location of the joints.
</p>
<p>
The location of the joints can be set to arbitrary positions or it can be computed to obtain specific configurations such as:
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>A cubic configuration: function <code>generateCubicConfiguration</code> (described in <a href="cubic-configuration.html">this</a> file)</li>
<li>A symmetrical configuration</li>
</ul>
<p>
A function (<code>generateGeneralConfiguration</code>) to set the position of the joints on a circle is described <a href="#org9f50820">here</a>.
</p>
<p>
The location of the spherical joints are then given by \({}^{F}\bm{a}_{i}\) and \({}^{M}\bm{b}_{i}\).
</p>

<div id="outline-container-org6a51c7d" class="outline-3">
<h3 id="org6a51c7d"><span class="section-number-3">1.3</span> Length and orientation of the struts</h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-1-3">
<p>
From the location of the joints (\({}^{F}\bm{a}_{i}\) and \({}^{M}\bm{b}_{i}\)), we compute the length \(l_i\) and orientation of each strut \(\hat{\bm{s}}_i\) (unit vector aligned with the strut).
The length and orientation of each strut is represented in figure <a href="#org145b8ab">3</a>.
</p>
<p>
This is done with the <code>computeJointsPose</code> function (<a href="#org7f34b08">link</a>).
</p>
<div id="org145b8ab" class="figure">

<h3 id="org9261b10"><span class="section-number-3">1.4</span> Rest Position of the Stewart platform</h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-1-4">
<p>
We may want to initialize the Stewart platform in some position and orientation that corresponds to its rest position.
</p>
<p>
To do so, we choose:
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>the position of \(\bm{O}_B\) expressed in \(\{A\}\) using \({}^A\bm{P}\)</li>
<li>the orientation of \(\{B\}\) expressed in \(\{A\}\) using a rotation matrix \({}^{A}\bm{R}_{B}\)</li>
</ul>
<p>
Then, the function <code>initializeStewartPose</code> (<a href="#orga94c6a9">link</a>) compute the corresponding initial and rest position of each of the strut.

<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-2">
<p>
<a id="orga326389"></a>
</p>
<p>
Now that the geometry of the Stewart platform has been defined, we have to choose the inertia of:
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>The Fixed base</li>
<li>The Mobile platform</li>
<li>The two parts of the struts</li>
</ul>
<p>
The inertia of these elements will modify the dynamics of the systems.
It is thus important to set them properly.

<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-2-1">
<p>
In order to set the inertia of the fixed and mobile platforms, we can use the following function that assume that both platforms are cylindrical:
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li><code>initializeCylindricalPlatforms</code> (<a href="#org6ad7062">link</a>): by choosing the height, radius and mass of the platforms, it computes the inertia matrix that will be used for simulation</li>

Similarly for the struts, we suppose here that they have a cylindrical shape.
They are initialize with the following function:
</p>
<ul class="org-ul">
<li><code>initializeCylindricalStruts</code> (<a href="#org6263b6d">link</a>): the two parts of each strut are supposed to by cylindrical. We can set the mass and geometry of both strut parts.</li>

The global stiffness and damping of the Stewart platform depends on its geometry but also on the stiffness and damping of:

<p>
The procedure to define the Stewart platform is the following:
</p>
<ol class="org-ol">
<li>Define the initial position of frames \(\{A\}\), \(\{B\}\), \(\{F\}\) and \(\{M\}\).
We do that using the <code>initializeFramesPositions</code> function.
We have to specify the total height of the Stewart platform \(H\) and the position \({}^{M}\bm{O}_{B}\) of \(\{B\}\) with respect to \(\{M\}\).</li>
<li>Compute the positions of joints \({}^{F}\bm{a}_{i}\) and \({}^{M}\bm{b}_{i}\).
We can do that using various methods depending on the wanted architecture:
<ul class="org-ul">
<li><code>generateCubicConfiguration</code> permits to generate a cubic configuration</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Compute the position and orientation of the joints with respect to the fixed base and the moving platform.
This is done with the <code>computeJointsPose</code> function.
If wanted, compute the rest position of each strut to have the wanted pose of the mobile platform with the function <code>initializeStewartPose</code>.</li>
<li>Define the mass and inertia of each element of the Stewart platform with the <code>initializeCylindricalPlatforms</code> and <code>initializeCylindricalStruts</code></li>
<li>Define the dynamical properties of the Stewart platform by setting the stiffness and damping of the actuators and joints.</li>

By following this procedure, we obtain a Matlab structure <code>stewart</code> that contains all the information for the Simscape model and for further analysis.

<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-4-1">
<p>
Let&rsquo;s first define the Stewart Platform Geometry.
</p>
<div class="org-src-container">

stewart = computeJointsPose(stewart);
stewart = initializeStewartPose(stewart, 'AP', [0;0;0], 'ARB', eye(3));
</pre>
</div>
<p>
Then, define the inertia and geometry of the fixed base, mobile platform and struts.
</p>
<div class="org-src-container">
<pre class="src src-matlab">stewart = initializeCylindricalPlatforms(stewart);
stewart = initializeCylindricalStruts(stewart);

<p>
We initialize the strut stiffness and damping properties.
</p>
<div class="org-src-container">
<pre class="src src-matlab">stewart = initializeStrutDynamics(stewart, 'K', 1e6*ones(6,1), 'C', 1e2*ones(6,1));
stewart = initializeAmplifiedStrutDynamics(stewart);
stewart = initializeJointDynamics(stewart);
</pre>
</div>
<p>
And finally the inertial sensors included in each strut.
</p>
<div class="org-src-container">
<pre class="src src-matlab">stewart = initializeInertialSensor(stewart, 'type', 'none');
</pre>
</div>
<p>
The obtained <code>stewart</code> Matlab structure contains all the information for analysis of the Stewart platform and for simulations using Simscape.
</p>
<p>
The function <code>displayArchitecture</code> can be used to display the current Stewart configuration:
</p>
<div class="org-src-container">
<pre class="src src-matlab">displayArchitecture(stewart, 'views', 'all');
</pre>
</div>
<div id="org85ee757" class="figure">

</div>
<p>
There are many options to show or hides elements such as labels and frames.
The documentation of the function is available <a href="#org5526211">here</a>.
</p>
<p>
Let&rsquo;s now move a little bit the top platform and re-display the configuration:
</p>
<div class="org-src-container">
<pre class="src src-matlab">tx = 0.1; % [rad]
ty = 0.2; % [rad]

Rz = [cos(tz) -sin(tz) 0;
sin(tz) cos(tz) 0;
0 0 1];
ARB = Rz*Ry*Rx;
AP = [0.08; 0; 0]; % [m]
displayArchitecture(stewart, 'AP', AP, 'ARB', ARB);
view([0 -1 0]);
</pre>
</div>
<div id="orgfe6ca21" class="figure">

</div>
<p>
One can also use the <code>describeStewartPlatform</code> function to have a description of the current Stewart platform&rsquo;s state.
</p>
<pre class="example">
describeStewartPlatform(stewart)
GEOMETRY:
- The height between the fixed based and the top platform is 90 [mm].
- Frame {A} is located 45 [mm] above the top platform.
- The initial length of the struts are:
95.2, 95.2, 95.2, 95.2, 95.2, 95.2 [mm]
ACTUATORS:
- The actuators are mechanicaly amplified.
- The vertical stiffness and damping contribution of the piezoelectric stack is:
ka = 2e+07 [N/m] ca = 1e+01 [N/(m/s)]
- Vertical stiffness when the piezoelectric stack is removed is:
kr = 5e+06 [N/m] cr = 1e+01 [N/(m/s)]
JOINTS:
- The joints on the fixed based are universal joints
- The joints on the mobile based are spherical joints
- The position of the joints on the fixed based with respect to {F} are (in [mm]):

<p>
From the schematic of the Z-axis geophone shown in Figure <a href="#orge962c25">15</a>, we can write the transfer function from the support velocity \(\dot{w}\) to the relative velocity of the inertial mass \(\dot{d}\):
\[ \frac{\dot{d}}{\dot{w}} = \frac{-\frac{s^2}{{\omega_0}^2}}{\frac{s^2}{{\omega_0}^2} + 2 \xi \frac{s}{\omega_0} + 1} \]
with:

<p>
We see that at frequencies above \(\omega_0\):
\[ \frac{\dot{d}}{\dot{w}} \approx -1 \]
</p>
<p>
And thus, the measurement of the relative velocity of the mass with respect to its support gives the absolute velocity of the support.
</p>
<p>
We generally want to have the smallest resonant frequency \(\omega_0\) to measure low frequency absolute velocity, however there is a trade-off between \(\omega_0\) and the mass of the inertial mass.

From the schematic of the Z-axis accelerometer shown in Figure <a href="#org6e272e3">16</a>, we can write the transfer function from the support acceleration \(\ddot{w}\) to the relative position of the inertial mass \(d\):
\[ \frac{d}{\ddot{w}} = \frac{-\frac{1}{{\omega_0}^2}}{\frac{s^2}{{\omega_0}^2} + 2 \xi \frac{s}{\omega_0} + 1} \]
