The model is shown again in Figure <a href="#orgd45aa85">4</a>.
As will be shown in the next section, such model can be quite accurate in modelling the axial behavior of the APA.
However, it does not model the flexibility of the APA in the other directions.
</p>
<p>
Therefore this model can be useful for quick simulations as it contains a very limited number of states, but when more complex dynamics of the APA is to be modelled, a flexible model will be used.

In order to model with high accuracy the behavior of the APA, a flexible model can be used.
</p>
<p>
The idea is to do a Finite element model of the structure, and to defined &ldquo;remote points&rdquo; as shown in Figure <a href="#org8e427b2">5</a>.
Then, on the finite element software, a &ldquo;super-element&rdquo; can be extracted which consists of a mass matrix, a stiffness matrix, and the coordinates of the remote points.

This &ldquo;super-element&rdquo; can then be included in the Simscape model as shown in Figure <a href="#org04fc004">6</a>.
The remotes points are defined as &ldquo;frames&rdquo; in Simscape, and the &ldquo;super-element&rdquo; can be connected with other Simscape elements (mechanical joints, masses, force actuators, etc..).

On Simscape, we want to model both the actuator stacks and the sensors stack.
We therefore need to link the electrical domain (voltages, charges) with the mechanical domain (forces, strain).
To do so, we use the &ldquo;actuator constant&rdquo; and the &ldquo;sensor constant&rdquo;.

A voltage \(V_a\) applied to the actuator stacks will induce an actuator force \(F_a\):

From the documentation of the APA300ML, the total capacitance of the three stacks should be between \(18\mu F\) and \(26\mu F\) with a nominal capacitance of \(20\mu F\).
However, from the documentation of the stack themselves, it can be seen that the capacitance of a single stack should be \(4.4\mu F\).
Clearly, the total capacitance of the APA300ML if more than just three times the capacitance of one stack.

The except from APA 3 that has a problem, all the APA are similar when it comes to stroke and hysteresis.
Also, the obtained stroke is more than specified in the documentation.
Therefore, only two stacks can be used as an actuator.

Then the APA is in the &ldquo;free-free&rdquo; condition, this bending mode is foreseen to be at 200Hz (Figure <a href="#org0d3b6de">19</a>).
We are here in the &ldquo;fixed-free&rdquo; condition.
If we consider that we therefore double the stiffness associated with this mode, we should obtain a resonance a factor \(\sqrt{2}\) higher than 200Hz which is indeed 280Hz.
Not sure this reasoning is correct though.

We can apply the same reasoning as in the previous section and estimate the mode to be a factor \(\sqrt{2}\) higher than the mode estimated in the &ldquo;free-free&rdquo; condition.

<p>
When two flexible joints are fixed at each ends of the APA, the APA is mostly in a free/free condition in terms of bending/torsion (the bending/torsional stiffness of the joints being very small).
2021-02-02 19:29:51 +01:00
</p>
<p>
In the current tests, the APA are in a fixed/free condition.
Therefore, it is quite obvious that we measured higher resonance frequencies than what is foreseen for the struts.
It is however quite interesting that there is a factor \(\approx \sqrt{2}\) between the two (increased of the stiffness by a factor 2?).

2021-06-17 23:21:51 +02:00
Typically, this is done in three steps:
2021-06-02 23:58:32 +02:00

2021-06-17 23:21:51 +02:00
<ol class="org-ol">
<li>A low pass filtered white noise is used with rather small amplitudes (Figure <a href="#org5e9a9fa">32</a>).
This first excitation is used to estimate the main resonance of the system.</li>
<li>A sweep-sine from 10Hz to 400Hz is used (Figure <a href="#org1dd1cbc">33</a>).
The sweep-sine is is notched around the estimated resonance of the system.</li>
<li>A band-limited white noise from 300Hz to 2kHz is used to estimate the high frequency behavior (Figure <a href="#org785fe0e">34</a>).</li>
</ol>
2021-06-02 23:58:32 +02:00
<p>
2021-06-17 23:21:51 +02:00
For all the excitation signals, before the excitation starts, the mean voltage is slowly increased halfway between the minimum voltage (-20V) and the maximum (150V).
2021-06-02 23:58:32 +02:00
</p>
<p>
2021-06-17 23:21:51 +02:00
The first measurement is only used to have a first estimation of the dynamics and verify that everything is setup correctly.
The second excitation is done to estimate the dynamics from 10Hz to 350Hz and the third excitation from 350Hz to 2kHz.
The second and third measurements are therefore combined in the frequency domain to form one good estimation of the dynamics from 10Hz up to 2kHz.

For small excitation amplitudes (\(V_a < 0.4\,V\)) the hysteresis stays reasonably small.

In order to estimate the stiffness of the APA, a weight with known mass \(m_a\) is added on top of the suspended granite and the deflection \(d_e\) is measured using the encoder.
</p>
<p>
2021-06-17 23:21:51 +02:00
The APA stiffness can then be estimated to be:
</p>

From Figure <a href="#org9830832">43</a>, it can be seen that there are some drifts that are probably due to some creep.
This will induce some uncertainties in the measured stiffness.
</p>
2021-06-17 23:21:51 +02:00
<p>
Here, a mass of 6.4 kg was used:
</p>
<div class="org-src-container">
<pre class="src src-matlab">added_mass = 6.4; <span class="org-comment">% Added mass [kg]</span>
</pre>
</div>
<p>
The stiffness is then computed as follows:
</p>
<div class="org-src-container">
<pre class="src src-matlab">k = 9.8 <span class="org-type">*</span> added_mass <span class="org-type">/</span> (mean(apa_mass.de(apa_mass.t <span class="org-type">&gt;</span> 12 <span class="org-type">&amp;</span> apa_mass.t <span class="org-type">&lt;</span> 12.5)) <span class="org-type">-</span> mean(apa_mass.de(apa_mass.t <span class="org-type">&gt;</span> 20 <span class="org-type">&amp;</span> apa_mass.t <span class="org-type">&lt;</span> 20.5)));
</pre>
</div>
<p>
And the stiffness obtained is very close to the one specified in the documentation (\(k = 1.794\,[N/\mu m]\)).
</p>
<pre class="example">
k = 1.68 [N/um]

2021-06-02 23:58:32 +02:00
<p>
2021-06-17 23:21:51 +02:00
The stiffness could also be estimated based on the main vertical resonance of the system at \(\omega_z = 2\pi \cdot 94 \,[rad/s]\).
The suspended mass is \(m_{\text{sus}} = 5\,kg\).
And therefore, the axial stiffness of the APA can be estimated to be:
2021-06-02 23:58:32 +02:00
</p>
2021-06-17 23:21:51 +02:00

<p>
It is however strange that the displacement \(d_e\) when the mass is removed is higher for the APA 7 than for the other APA.
What could cause that?
2021-06-17 23:21:51 +02:00
It is probably due to the fact that the mechanical element holding the granite in place was not removed.

Using the measurement test-bench, it is rather easy the determine the static gain between the applied voltage \(V_a\) to the induced displacement \(d\).
</p>
\begin{equation}
d = g_{d/V_a} \cdot V_a
\end{equation}
2021-06-02 23:58:32 +02:00
<p>
Using the Simscape model of the APA, it is possible to determine the static gain between the actuator force \(F_a\) to the induced displacement \(d\):
</p>
\begin{equation}
d = g_{d/F_a} \cdot F_a
\end{equation}
2021-06-02 23:58:32 +02:00
<p>
From the two gains, it is then easy to determine \(g_a\):
2021-06-02 23:58:32 +02:00
</p>
2021-06-17 23:21:51 +02:00
\begin{equation} \label{eq:actuator_constant_formula}
\boxed{g_a = \frac{F_a}{V_a} = \frac{F_a}{d} \cdot \frac{d}{V_a} = \frac{g_{d/V_a}}{g_{d/F_a}}}

Similarly, it is easy to determine the gain from the excitation voltage \(V_a\) to the voltage generated by the sensor stack \(V_s\):
2021-06-02 23:58:32 +02:00
</p>
\begin{equation}
V_s = g_{V_s/V_a} V_a

<p>
2021-06-17 23:21:51 +02:00
Note here that there is an high pass filter formed by the piezoelectric capacitor and parallel resistor.
</p>
<p>
The gain can be computed from the dynamical identification and taking the gain at the wanted frequency (above the first resonance).
</p>
2021-06-02 23:58:32 +02:00
<p>
Using the simscape model, compute the gain at the same frequency from the actuator force \(F_a\) to the strain of the sensor stack \(dl\):
2021-06-02 23:58:32 +02:00
</p>
\begin{equation}
dl = g_{dl/F_a} F_a
\end{equation}
2021-06-02 23:58:32 +02:00
<p>
Then, the &ldquo;sensor&rdquo; constant is:
2021-06-02 23:58:32 +02:00
</p>
2021-06-17 23:21:51 +02:00
\begin{equation} \label{eq:sensor_constant_formula}
\boxed{g_s = \frac{V_s}{dl} = \frac{V_s}{V_a} \cdot \frac{V_a}{F_a} \cdot \frac{F_a}{dl} = \frac{g_{V_s/V_a}}{g_a \cdot g_{dl/F_a}}}

Similarly to what was done for the identification of the APA, the identification is performed in three steps:
</p>
<ol class="org-ol">
<li>White noise excitation with small amplitude.
This is used to determine the main resonance of the system.</li>
<li>Sweep sine excitation with the amplitude lowered around the resonance.
The sweep sine is from 10Hz to 400Hz.</li>
<li>High frequency noise.
The noise is band-passed between 300Hz and 2kHz.</li>

The transfer function from the excitation voltage \(V_a\) to the generated voltage \(V_s\) by the sensor stack is not influence by the fixation of the encoder.
This means that the IFF control strategy should be as effective whether or not the encoders are fixed to the struts.

<ol class="org-ol">

<li>The excitation signal is a white noise with small amplitude.
This is used to estimate the low frequency dynamics.</li>
2021-06-17 23:21:51 +02:00
<li>Then a high frequency noise band-passed between 300Hz and 2kHz is used to estimate the high frequency dynamics.</li>
2021-06-02 23:58:32 +02:00

There is a very large variability of the dynamics as measured by the encoder as shown in Figure <a href="#org499f385">79</a>.
Even-though the same peaks are seen for all of the struts (95Hz, 200Hz, 300Hz, 400Hz), the amplitude of the peaks are not the same.
Moreover, the location or even the presence of complex conjugate zeros is changing from one strut to the other.

The same simscape model that was presented in Section <a href="#org31551cc">4</a> is here used.
However, now the full strut is put instead of only the APA (see Figure <a href="#orgbb55998">84</a>).

The 2-DoF model is quite effective in modelling the transfer function from actuator to force sensor and from actuator to interferometer (Figure <a href="#org9a2ad42">86</a>).
But it is not effective in modeling the transfer function from actuator to encoder (Figure <a href="#org0ae8e30">87</a>).
This is due to the fact that resonances greatly affecting the encoder reading are not modelled.
In the next section, flexible model of the APA will be used to model such resonances.

2021-06-17 23:21:51 +02:00
As shown in Figure <a href="#org499f385">79</a>, the dynamics from actuator to encoder for all the struts is very different.
</p>
<p>
This could be explained by a large variability in the alignment of the flexible joints and the APA (at the time, the alignment pins were not used).

2021-06-07 18:43:02 +02:00
<p>
2021-06-17 23:21:51 +02:00
Depending on the alignment, the spurious resonances of the struts (Figure <a href="#org2c5207b">88</a>) can be excited differently.

For instance, consider Figure <a href="#org4745dff">89</a> where there is a misalignment in the \(y\) direction.
In such case, the mode at 200Hz is foreseen to be more excited as the misalignment \(d_y\) increases and therefore the dynamics from the actuator to the encoder should also change around 200Hz.

If the misalignment is in the \(x\) direction, the mode at 285Hz should be more affected whereas a misalignment in the \(z\) direction should not affect these resonances.

<p>
Probably because the presence of this mode is not due because of the &ldquo;unbalanced&rdquo; mass of the encoder, but rather because of the misalignment of the APA with respect to the two flexible joints.
This will be verified in the next sections.

By tuning the misalignment of the APA with respect to the flexible joints, it is possible to obtain a good fit between the model and the measurements (Figure <a href="#org99bb9c3">93</a>).
2021-06-07 18:43:02 +02:00

<p>
If encoders are to be used when fixed on the struts, it is therefore very important to properly align the APA and the flexible joints when mounting the struts.

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.

The axial stiffness of the flexible joint has a large impact on the frequency of the complex conjugate zero.
2021-06-17 23:21:51 +02:00
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.
</p>
<p>
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&rsquo;s axial stiffness as other factors are also influencing the location of the zero.
</p>
<p>
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).

<p>
Adding damping in bending for the flexible joints could be a nice way to reduce the effects of the spurious resonances of the struts.
</p>
</div>
<div class="question" id="org3ddb7ec">
<p>
How to effectively add damping to the flexible joints?
</p>
<p>
One idea would be to introduce a sheet of damping material inside the flexible joint.
Not sure is would be effect though.
