Thank you. There was partial success as the expressions became
slightly simpler.

Let me tell you what I got for solution #3, i.e. for the expression

S3 := (-2+sqrt(2)+sin(3/8*Pi)*sqrt(4-2*sqrt(2))-cos(3/8*Pi)*sqrt(4-2*sqrt(2)))/(sqrt(4-2*sqrt(2)));

With "radnormal(convert(radnormal(f(t)),radical))" this becomes
S31 := -1/2*sqrt(4-2*sqrt(2))-cos(3/8*Pi)+sin(3/8*Pi);    # quite nice, but still not 0

With "simplify(convert(simplify(f(t)),radical))" this becomes
S32 := 1/4*(-2+sqrt(2+sqrt(2))*sqrt(2)*sqrt(2-sqrt(2)))*sqrt(2)/(sqrt(2-sqrt(2))); # not 0, but no trig

The last one is without trig (nice) and can be seen to be 0 as follows:

S32 is equal to
S32a := 1/4*(-2+T)*sqrt(2)/(sqrt(2-sqrt(2)));
where
T := sqrt(2+sqrt(2))*sqrt(2)*sqrt(2-sqrt(2));

My Maple V refused to show me that this is 0. I had to square it for that purpose:
expand(T^2) gived 4, so T must be 2 as T > 0.
From that we can see S32a = 0, since factor (-2+T) = 0.

Well, so far this helped quite well, but I would be glad to see a handsome
formula F such that F(S3) = 0 will be stated by Maple (V).

Cheers,
Rainer
