1 Design and Modelling of Smart Structures for ayload and Antenna (ESA SSA project) Frédéric BOSSENS Micromega Dynamics s.a. Frédéric CUGNON SAMTECH s.a. Amit Kalyani Université Libre de Bruxelles André REUMONT Université Libre de Bruxelles Abstract: This paper presents results obtained in the frame of the ESA SSA (Smart Structures for ayload and Antenna) project. It reports on numerical developments performed to design an active damping interface to be integrated in large spacestructures. Emphasis is put on the modelling tools, consisting in a non-linear finiteelement model (SAMCEF Mecano) including both structural dynamics and active control. Experimental results obtained on a preliminary active damping interface developed at ULB are also presented 1 Introduction Scientific satellites are increasingly demanding in stability and pointing accuracy. These requirements for future scientific space missions have triggered extensive researches in the area of the active damping/isolation of flexible structure. The main objective of the SSA project [2] is to design active control systems capable of improving mechanical precision of future scientific space missions. For instance, the future Darwin space interferometer requires a pointing stability of less than 4 nrad for each individual telescope. In this paper, we present active damping interface connecting two structural components. This interface provides uniform control capability and uniform stiffness in all direction using six independent control loops made each of a couple of piezoelectric sensor and actuator. The design of such interface, applied to Darwin spaceinterferometer is investigated using SAMCEF models. The telescope model is exported to MATLAB in order to design the controller. Once controllers are defined, a SAMCEF Mecano simulation is performed to verify the efficiency of the control under the presence of external perturbations. 9 th SAMTECH Users Conference 25 1/18
2 This paper is organized as follows: section 2 presents background theory about active damping interfaces, section 3 describes Darwin space-interferometer used as target application in SSA, section 4 presents numerical tools (SAMCEF / MATLAB) used in this study, section 5 explains the design procedure for the active damping interface, section 6 presents some relevant numerical simulations, section 7 presents some experimental results, and describes future experimental setup, finally section 8 gives some concluding remarks. 2 Theoretical background 2.1 Active strut The active system considered in this study is based on active struts, each of them being composed of a linear actuator, colinear with a force transducer. Figure 1 : Active strut composed of a linear actuator, colinear with a force transducer It can be shown [1] that, when using such actuator/sensor pair integrated in a structure, with an Integral Force Feedback (IFF) controller and assuming perfect actuator/sensor dynamics, energy can only be extracted from the system (Energy absorbing control). The IFF is defined by the following equation: δ ( t ) = G f ( t) dt (1) 2.2 Active interface The active strut discussed in the previous section can be integrated into a generic 6 d.o.f. interface connecting arbitrary substructures. Such an interface is shown in Figure 2. actuator controller sensor Flexible tips Figure 2 : active interface 9 th SAMTECH Users Conference 25 2/18

The output T y = (yb1b,..., yb6b) of the six force sensor signals which are proportional to the elastic extension of the active struts y = KBa B(q δ) (4) where q = (qb1b,..., qb6b) coordinates by T the vector of global leg extensions, related to the global q = B T (5) The same matrix B appears in Equ.(3) and (5) because the actuators and sensors are collocated. Using a decentralized IFF with constant gain (a reduced gain g=g KBa Bis introduced for analytical convenience), g δ = y (6) K s a The closed-loop characteristic equation is obtained by combining Equs.(3) to (6): Ms 2 g T + K B K a B x = (7) s + g In this equation, the stiffness matrix K refers to the complete structure, including the full contribution of the Stewart platform. The open-loop poles are ±jωbi Bwhere ΩBiB the natural frequencies of the complete structure (see Figure 4). The open-loop zeros are the asymptotic values of the eigenvalues of Equ.(7) when g ; they are solution of [Ms 2 K B KBaB T = (8) 9 th SAMTECH Users Conference 25 3/18
4 T The corresponding stiffness matrix is K BKBaB, where the axial stiffness of the legs of the Stewart platform has been removed from K. Without bending stiffness in the legs, this matrix is singular and the transmission zeros include the rigid body modes (at s = ) of the structure where the piezo actuators have been removed. However, the flexible tips are responsible for a non-zero bending stiffness of the legs and the eigenvalues of Equ.(8) are located at ±jωbib, at some distance from the origin along the imaginary axis (see Figure 4). Using numerical tools described in section 4, one can describe the open-loop structural dynamics in state-space representation (characterized by state-space matrices A, B, C, D). This open-loop system can be combined with the IFF controller (characterized by state-space matrices ABcB, BBcB, CBcB, DBcB), as illustrated in Figure 3.

The root locus was drawn for 2 sets of flexible tips, some soft ones (large loops) and some stiffer ones (small loops). The bending stiffness of the flexible tips mainly influences the frequencies of the zeros ωbib, which in turn determine the size of the loop, thus the performance of the active damping system. 3 Case study, the Darwin space telescope One of the target applications in project [2] is the Darwin space telescope, in its structure version. A schematic view of the spacecraft is shown in Figure 5. 6kg 18 kg controller 4 kg 18 kg 24 m Figure 5 : Darwin-structure space telescope, equipped with 2 active interfaces. 6kg 9 th SAMTECH Users Conference 25 5/18
6 It is basically composed of 4 telescopes, two large ones fixed on a rigid central module, and the 2 smaller ones located at the extremity of carbon-fibre / polymer composite booms. Such structure is designed to performed deep-space interferometric measurements. Active interfaces are located between the booms and the central module. They aim at reducing the relative motion between the telescopes, after disturbances are applied in the central part (e.g. attitude control, cryocoolers ). Figure 6 shows the natural frequencies and corresponding mode shapes obtained with a Samcef finite element model (Figure 7). Not shown on the figure is the pair of torsion modes at.27 and.29 Hz, respectively.

The various stages needed to obtain a mechatronic model from a mechanical one are described. First, some modal analysis using SAMCEF Dynam have to be performed in order to define control objectives (modes to be damped) and to evaluate controllability and observability of the systems; sensors and actuators should be localized in some areas where strain energy is high for all modes of interest. Once sensors and actuators are selected, they can be included in the model using dedicated elements. Within the SSA project, two elements (SE1D & SE3D) have been developed in SAMCEF in order to measure nodal displacement, velocity and acceleration along a given vector linked to the structure and the relative displacements, rotations, forces and moment between two nodes. The measured quantities are linked to some additional nodal degrees of freedom (exactly as any other MCE measure element) 9 th SAMTECH Users Conference 25 6/18
7 by introducing some element-related constraints and associated Lagrange multipliers. Doing so, those elements can be used as sensors and as actuator by applying prescribed conditions (force or displacement) on the additional nodes. Those sensor s and actuator s nodes can be connected to any control boxes or retained to create a super element. T1 External Disturbance Loads Service module T3 Stewart 1 T4 T2 Stewart 2 Figure 7 : Finite element model of the Darwin space telescope In the finite model of the Darwin interferometer telescope, the four individual telescopes and the service module are represented by lumped masses and inertias. The two big telescopes (T3 and T4) and the service module are fixed on the main structure considered as rigid. The small telescopes (T1 and T2) are localized at the extremity of two composite carbon tubes (1mm thick laminate made of six +/-45 layers shell elements), which are connected to the main structure by two hexapod-like active damping interfaces. Table 1 : structural characteristics of Darwin Component Mass [Kg] Ixx [Kg m²] Iyy [Kg m²] Izz [Kg m²] Small telescopes (T1 & T2) Large telescopes (T3 & T4) Service module The active interfaces are made of two rigid plates connected by six identical legs. Each leg is modelled as a succession of flexible and stiff elements, namely (from left to right): flexible joint, rigid bar, displacement actuator, force sensor and flexible joint. 9 th SAMTECH Users Conference 25 7/18

Table 2 : stiffness properties of the legs Component Axial Bending Shear Torsion stiffness Joint 1E E6 33 Sensor 1E7 5 1E7 5 Actuator 1E8 (rigid) (rigid) (rigid) Using this model, a super element can be created by retaining measure nodal degrees of freedom of the 12 force sensors, distance degrees of freedom of the 12 actuators, and main nodes of the model (telescopes and service module where perturbation are applied). Once the super element has been created, it can be read into Matlab/Simulink using the Tsamcef-read-m3.m sctript supplied in the SAMCEF manual. The use of this script is straight forward, and described in the m-file itself. The Mass, Damping and Stiffness matrix of the super element are read, together with a localization vector. After the matrices of the super-element have been read into MATLAB, the user can transform them into a state space model. The state-space format is the format used for controller design. When transforming the mass, damping and stiffness matrix into the T[A,B,C,D]T state space form it is important to remove the fixations from the super element. All this, can be done automatically using Tsamcef-stsp-m3.m T Matlab/Simulink script supplied in this manual. Once the controllers have been designed, their performances can be evaluated by numerical analyses simulating structural behaviour of the structure under several perturbations. Those dynamic transient simulations can be done using the state space model in MATLAB/Simulink or by introducing the controllers in a SAMCEF Mecano model. Digital controllers that have been designed with the help of MATLAB / Simulink can be exported to ANSI C-code; these ANSI C-controllers can then be compiled and linked with Mecano, so that the digital controller element has access to all nodal variables during the simulation. Because the controller and SAMCEF exchange 9 th SAMTECH Users Conference 25 8/18
9 data at every sample time of the controller the total calculation time can become excessively long in the case of a digital controller with a high sample frequency. A solution for the problem is provided with the help of the continuous controller option. In this case the controller will no longer impose a time step to MECANO, but the controller and SAMCEF will only exchange data at the time steps imposed by SAMCEF. Even though the controller will not exchange at every sample time with SAMCEF it will be integrated in time using its own sample time. Furthermore it will not only supply the output value of the controller at the given exchange times, but it will also calculate the appropriate Stiffness/Conductivity, damping/capacity and mass matrix for SAMCEF. In this case the controller will act as a continuous "bushing type" element with time dependent properties. This approach is only valid if the sample time of the controller is smaller than the time step of the SAMCEF calculation and if the control box is a user defined element or a predefined controller; MATLAB Simulink control boxes defined by C-code are always digitals. In the adopted design of the Active damping interface, the 12 independent control loops are simply integrators (see Equ.1) so they can be modelled using the SAMCEF predefined ID continuous controller. Three models have been used. First, a model with few elements has been defined using the super element described above and 12 DIGI elements; as number of unknowns is low, it provides a quick answer (about a minute). Secondly, the 12 DIGI elements are included in the detail model taking into account all possible non-linearities. Finally, a MATLAB model defined from the state space form and internal controllers has been used. All models have given almost identical results; this validate the ID control element available in SAMCEF by comparison to standard control simulation tool and verifies the small displacement assumption made for the linearized super element model. All further shown results are obtained from the Mecano model using a super element to describe the structure. 5 Active interface design As explained in section 2.3, the performances of the active interface will depend on the stiffness of the flexible joint (mainly in bending and in torsion). It also depends on the actuator stiffness, and on the geometry of the active interface. Actually, four parameters were optimized during the design process: (i) the global size of the interface, (ii) the leg inclination in the interface (see Figure 9), (iii) the actuator axial stiffness and (iv) the flexible tip design. leg inclination global sizing factor α Figure 9 : geometrical parameters optimized in the active interface design 9 th SAMTECH Users Conference 25 9/18
10 in of in 5.1 Actuator stiffness The actuator stiffness mainly influences the overall stiffness of the passive structure, therefore its natural frequencies (ΩBiB Figure 4). Figure 1 shows how ΩBi Bvaries with actuator stiffness. For actuators with axial stiffness > 2 N/µm (which is very common for piezo-translators), the loss in the natural frequencies is lower than 2%, (as compared to a passive structure where the interfaces are completely rigid). This issue is thus not critical as long as actuator is not too soft axially (as well as the flexible tips). For this Darwin application, it was decided that the actuator stiffness had to be higher than 4N/µm Figure 1 : variation of passive structure natural frequency (ΩBiB of the actuator axial stiffness Figure 4), in function 5.2 Overall sizing The overall sizing play similar role as the actuator stiffness: it influences mainly the open-loop poles of the system (ΩBiB). By increasing the size of the interface (keeping the axial stiffness individual legs constant), one increases the lever arm and thus the bending and torsion stiffness of the interface. In Darwin-case, it was found out that, building an active interface with diameter higher than 25cm was not useful, because it wouldn t increase substantially the natural frequencies ΩBiB the system. 5.3 Flexible tips The bending and torsion stiffness of the flexible tips plays a critical role in the active system performances, since it determined the frequencies of the zeros (ωbib), and thereby the size of the loops in the root locus. This effect is illustrated in Figure 4, showing the root-locus of an active structure for two types of flexible tips. The softer flexible tips lead to much larger loops in the root locus. Figure 11 : Flexible tips to be used with the active interface of Darwin 9 th SAMTECH Users Conference /1
11 5.4 Leg inclination Leg inclination influences the active damping performances in two ways: lacing the legs horizontal (α= ) will maximize the torsion stiffness (and the control authority) of the active interface, and minimize its bending stiffness, while placing the legs vertical (α=9 ) would produce the inverse effect. This effect is illustrated in the root-locus of Figure 12. It allows to chose the configuration that will produce good active damping performances for all considered modes with a single gain (this is not the case in general). This effect is illustrated in Figure 13. Figure 12 : influence of the leg angle on the root locus of the controlled structure 5.5 Feedback gain selection Figure 13 shows how the modal damping varies in function of the IFF control gain (G in Equ.1, for α=25 (left panel) and α=5 (right panel). bending 1 bending 1 bending 2 bending 2 torsion torsion bending 3 bending 3 Figure 13 : influence of the leg angle on the root locus of the controlled structure 9 th SAMTECH Users Conference /1
12 but For α=25, a large amount of damping can be introduced into bending modes #1 and 2, -5 for a gain G for that gain, the amount of active damping in the torsion -5 modes is rather small. For α=5, this situation improves substantially: for G (see vertical line), the active damping in the bending modes #1 and 2 is still very large, and it is more than doubled for the torsion modes. Such study led to selecting an angle of 5 for the active leg s inclination in the interface. 6 Simulation results 6.1 Active damping performances In order to evaluate the performances of the active platforms in time domain, several simulations have been done with and without active control in order to highlight the effect of the active damping system. Three loading cases have been considered: transverse force (Fx), bending (Mx) and torsion (Mz) moments applied on the service module. For each, a unitary magnitude is used with 3 different time functions: f1(t) is a sine-sweep function with frequency linearly increasing from to 1 Hertz during the [, 3 sec.] time interval. f2(t) is a sinusoidal function (.5 Hz) from time to time 1 sec.; then frequency continuously increases to reach 1 Hz at time 3 sec (sine-sweep). f3(t) is an alternating impulse; piecewise linear function joining, 1and 1 in a.2 sec. time interval in order to excite all modes below 5 Hz. All these disturbances are applied on the central module (see Figure 7). The performances of the active system will be evaluated in terms of the strokes of the actuators, the measured force in the legs and the relative rotations between the small telescopes and the large ones fixed to the rigid central module force (N) displacement (mm) time (sec.) Figure 14 : measured force and actuating displacement (leg 1 of interface 1) resulting from disturbance function f1 applied along x. Figure 14 shows typical behaviour of a leg during perturbation; in order to reduce the force measured in the sensor, the controller imposes some displacement in the actuator. Next figures compare the pointing accuracy (relative displacement and rotation between large and small telescopes) when structure is passive or active under previously defined perturbations; only main deformations are plotted. 9 th SAMTECH Users Conference /1

14 The damping effect is more spectacular when an impulse is applied (f3 time function) than when a forced excitation (f1 or f2 time functions) is maintained. This is because the effect of active damping is visible only close to structural natural frequencies, and f1 excite the entire range of frequency while f3 concentrates the structural response close to the natural frequencies. Furthermore, modal damping can be estimated from free responses obtained with f3. From Figure 16 (left panel), where the response is dominated by bending mode #1, one can see that with active control, the oscillation is over-critically damped (no more oscillations): ξbbending1b> 7% In Figure 16 (right panel), the residual oscillating response corresponds to bending mode #3. The amplitude decreases by a factor 2 in about 3 periods of the oscillation. This corresponds to ξbbending3 B 5%. In Figure 18 (right panel), the response is dominated by the torsion modes. With active control, the vibration amplitude decreases by a factor 2 in about 1 period, which corresponds to ξbtorsion B 1%. These numbers are in good agreement with the active damping predictions obtained (for -5 a control gain of 3 1 ). Last simulation consists in verifying that the structure behaves properly when some active legs stop working. For this test, legs 1 and 2 of platform 1 and leg 2 of platform 2 are passives. Next figure shows that the pointing accuracy is lightly affected illustrating the robustness of the decentralized active damping system concept..4 1 relative y-rotation (rad) active legs active legs active legs -7 9 active legs -8 Figure 19 : pointing accuracy with damaged platforms (Fx*f1) relative x-displacement (mm) 6.2 Envelope definition As the Darwin mission is still at some preliminary stages, lack of data concerning external perturbation forced us to define an envelope of excitation level under which the implemented damping system works well enough to meet optical requirements (less than 4 nrad of relative pointing of coupled telescopes) under technical constraints of active components (maximal actuators stroke of 2 µm). From those requirements, 9 th SAMTECH Users Conference /1

In this section, we summarize the experimental results obtained with a truss fit on an active damping interface (Figure 2), and the development of a demonstrator in the frame of SSA. 9 th SAMTECH Users Conference /1

17 when the truss is subjected to an impulse at mid height from the base, first without, and then. The FRFs (with and without control) are obtained between a disturbance applied to the piezoactuator in one leg and its collocated force sensor. One sees that fairly high damping ratios can be achieved for the low frequency modes (4 5Hz) but also significant damping in the high frequency modes (4 9Hz). In the frame of SSA project, the following experimental setup is currently under development, as shown in Figure 22. This demonstrator is representative of Darwin (to some scaling factor), and will be installed on a soft-spring gravity-compensation system, to approximate the free-free boundary conditions. 5 kg 5 kg.5 m 6 kg 3 m 6 kg 8 Conclusions 6 kg Figure 22 : Experimental setup developed in SSA This paper reports on the latest developments in SAMCEF, related to the design and modeling of active structures. All features are now available to design an active structure (generation of a MATLAB Simulink-compatible model), and to test it in fully non-linear environment (actuators, sensors and controller integrated in SAMCEF Mecano model). Such developments were a necessary step in the SSA project, aiming at designing and building active systems for damping large space structures. Darwin space interferometer was taken as target application in SSA project, and used as numerical benchmark in this study. Simulations presented here show an excellent agreement between the theoretical predictions and numerical experiments, which assesses the reliability of the newly-developed tools. Furthermore, active damping performances predictions obtained by numerical simulation are promising, in the sense that the active system reduces efficiently the impact of external disturbances on large flexible structure. The efficiency of the active system was experimentally validated through a preliminary experiment carried out at ULB. A larger scale-experiment, representative of a large space-structure is currently under development in the frame of SSA. 9 th SAMTECH Users Conference /1
