Abstract
A controlled system () for application of force on a test object includes a force actuator () that is coupled to and applies a force on the test object. A velocity signal generator () is in a feedforward configuration relative to the force actuator () and generates a velocity signal () that is predictive of the velocity of the test object. A controller () is coupled to the force actuator () and to the velocity signal generator () and generates a desired applied force signal () compensated by the velocity signal ().
