Abstract

The hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation (also called hybrid simulation) is a useful and flexible approach for the simulation of contact dynamics in space. In this study, a HIL contact simulation system including the motion simulator, control system and algorithm is introduced. The simulation divergence problem due to the time delay is studied. To compensate the time delay, the phase lead method is used compensate the force measurement delay, and the response error based force compensation is used to compensate the dynamic response delay of the motion simulator. The compensation requires the force measurement delay value, but does not require the dynamic response model. The effectiveness of the HIL simulation system and the delay compensation approach are verified by the simulations and experiments.
