System Identification of a Cantilever Beam with Interferometer Measurement Using Adaptive Filters

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

<p>Laser interferometry, commonly used in high-precision motion control systems, is rarely adopted in experimental vibration analysis because its installation and mounting is invasive to dynamical systems. However, metrology systems that already utilize laser interferometry, such as profilometry in semiconductor manufacturing, may benefit from interferometer feedback for signal processing. This study investigates the use of laser interferometry for system identification through a piezoelectrically actuated cantilevered beam.</p> <p>The model of the beam including piezo actuators and optical measurement components are established through the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. From the method of separation of variables, the continuous system is transformed into a discrete system represented in a state-space form. By performing the Laplace transformation of the state-space form, we obtain the analytical transfer function of interferometer displacement versus actuator input, which is then validated numerically and experimentally. Adaptive filters based on FIR and IIR are designed to identify the transfer function. Because of the slow convergence of such filters, a recursive LMS algorithm is designed to accelerate computation. It is experimentally demonstrated that the precision measurement of interferometer can lead to highly accurate results of system identification.</p>
