download PDFAbstract. The challenging application of Virtual Testing (VT) to ESA’s six-degree-of-freedom Micro Vibrations Measurement System (MVMS) is described in this work. The digital replicate of MVMS is first obtained from a high-fidelity finite element model, whose order is later appropriately reduced. A state-space model representative of the dynamic behaviour of the MVMS is finally obtained. MVMS VT simulations are thus exploited as a key enabling technology to perform the ad-hoc design of MVMS control system design. This work focuses on different model-order reduction techniques applied to MVMS, which were evaluated and compared in terms of performance and computational issues. Classical and more recent approaches belonging to the family of Component Mode Synthesis (CMS) methods are addressed. State-space based techniques are considered as well, also in two-stage combination with CMS methods. Challenges and advantages of VT are lastly discussed.
