Six Degree Of Freedom

The purpose of this paper is to develop a controller for a force-reflecting teleoperator system having kinematically dissimilar master and slave. The controller is a stiffness controller for both the master and the slave. A mathematical problem associated with representing orientations using Euler angles is described, and Euler parameters are proposed as a solution. The basic properties of Euler parameters are presented, specifically those pertaining to stiffness control. The stiffness controller for both the master and the slave is formulated using Euler parameters to represent orientation and a Liapunov stability proof is presented for the controller. The master portion of the control scheme is implemented on a six-degree-of-freedom master.

Iterative Feedback

In this article, a six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) micro-vibration platform (6-MVP) based on the Gough–Stewart configuration is designed to reproduce the 6-DOF micro-vibration that occurs at the installation surfaces of sensitive space-based instruments such as large space optical loads and laser communications equipment. The platform’s dynamic model is simplified because of the small displacement characteristics of micro-vibrations. By considering the multifrequency line spectrum characteristics of micro-vibrations and the parameter uncertainties, an iterative feedback control strategy based on a frequency response model is designed, and the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy is verified by performing integrated simulations. Finally, micro-vibration experiments are performed with a 10 kg load on the platform. The results of these micro-vibration experiments show that after several iterations, the amplitude control errors are less than 3% and the phase control errors are less than 1°. The control strategy presented in this article offers the advantages of a simple algorithm and high precision and it can also be used to control other similar micro-vibration platforms.

Six Degree Of Freedom

This paper presents the design, development and evaluation of a unique non-contact instrumentation system that can accurately measure the interface displacement between two rigid components in six degrees of freedom. The system was developed to allow measurement of the relative displacements between interfaces within a stacked column of brick-like components, with an accuracy of 0.05 mm and 0.1 degrees. The columns comprised up to 14 components, with each component being a scale model of a graphite brick within an Advanced Gas-cooled Reactor core. A set of 585 of these columns makes up the Multi Layer Array, which was designed to investigate the response of the reactor core to seismic inputs, with excitation levels up to 1 g from 0 to 100 Hz. The nature of the application required a compact and robust design capable of accurately recording fully coupled motion in all six degrees of freedom during dynamic testing. The novel design implemented 12 Hall effect sensors with a calibration procedure based on system identification techniques. The measurement uncertainty was ±0.050 mm for displacement and ±0.052 degrees for rotation, and the system can tolerate loss of data from two sensors with the uncertainly increasing to only 0.061 mm in translation and 0.088 degrees in rotation. The system has been deployed in a research programme that has enabled EDF to present seismic safety cases to the Office for Nuclear Regulation, resulting in life extension approvals for several reactors. The measurement system developed could be readily applied to other situations where the imposed level of stress at the interface causes negligible material strain, and accurate non-contact six-degree-of-freedom interface measurement is required.
