◆ ComputeInertiaDampingMatrix()

void chrono::fea::ChInertiaCosserat::ComputeInertiaDampingMatrix ( ChMatrix66d Ri,
const ChVector3d mW 
)
virtual

Compute the 6x6 sectional inertia damping matrix [Ri] (gyroscopic matrix damping), as in linearization dFi=[Mi]*d{xacc,wacc}+[Ri]*d{xvel,wvel}+[Ki]*d{pos,rot} The matrix is computed in the material reference, i.e.

both linear and rotational coords assumed in the basis of the centerline reference. Default implementation: falls back to numerical differentiation of ComputeInertialForce to compute Ri, please override this if analytical formula of Ri is known!

Parameters
Ri6x6 sectional inertial-damping (gyroscopic damping) matrix here
mWcurrent angular velocity of section, in material frame

Reimplemented in chrono::fea::ChInertiaCosseratAdvanced, and chrono::fea::ChInertiaCosseratSimple.

◆ ComputeInertialForce()

void chrono::fea::ChInertiaCosserat::ComputeInertialForce ( ChVector3d mFi,
ChVector3d mTi,
const ChVector3d mWvel,
const ChVector3d mWacc,
const ChVector3d mXacc 
)
virtual

Compute the total inertial wrench, ie forces and torques (per unit length).

Note: both force and torque are returned in the basis of the material frame (not the absolute frame!), ex. to apply it to a Chrono body, the force must be rotated to absolute basis. Default implementation: falls back to Fi = [Mi]*{xacc,wacc}+{mF,mT} where [Mi] is given by ComputeInertiaMatrix() and {F_quad,T_quad} are given by ComputeQuadraticTerms(), i.e. gyro and centrif.terms. For faster implementations one can override this, ex. avoid doing the [Mi] matrix product.

Parameters
mFitotal inertial force returned here, in basis of material frame
mTitotal inertial torque returned here, in basis of material frame
mWvelcurrent angular velocity of section, in material frame
mWacccurrent angular acceleration of section, in material frame
mXacccurrent acceleration of section, in material frame (not absolute!)

◆ ComputeInertiaMatrix()

virtual void chrono::fea::ChInertiaCosserat::ComputeInertiaMatrix ( ChMatrix66d Mi)
pure virtual

Compute the 6x6 sectional inertia matrix, as in {x_momentum,w_momentum}=[Mi]{xvel,wvel} The matrix is computed in the material reference (i.e.

it is the sectional mass matrix)

Parameters
Mi6x6 sectional mass matrix here

Implemented in chrono::fea::ChInertiaCosseratSimple, and chrono::fea::ChInertiaCosseratAdvanced.

◆ ComputeInertiaStiffnessMatrix()

void chrono::fea::ChInertiaCosserat::ComputeInertiaStiffnessMatrix ( ChMatrix66d Ki,
const ChVector3d mWvel,
const ChVector3d mWacc,
const ChVector3d mXacc 
)
virtual

Compute the 6x6 sectional inertia stiffness matrix [Ki^], as in linearization dFi=[Mi]*d{xacc,wacc}+[Ri]*d{xvel,wvel}+[Ki]*d{pos,rot} The matrix is computed in the material reference.

NOTE the matrix already contains the 'geometric' stiffness, so it transforms to absolute transl/local rot just like [Mi] and [Ri]: [Ki]_al =[R,0;0,I]*[Ki^]*[R',0;0,I'] , with [Ki^]=([Ki]+[0,f~';0,0]) for f=current force part of inertial forces. Default implementation: falls back to numerical differentiation of ComputeInertialForce to compute Ki^, please override this if analytical formula of Ki^ is known!

Parameters
Ki6x6 sectional inertial-stiffness matrix [Ki^] here
mWvelcurrent angular velocity of section, in material frame
mWacccurrent angular acceleration of section, in material frame
mXacccurrent acceleration of section, in material frame (not absolute!)

Reimplemented in chrono::fea::ChInertiaCosseratAdvanced, and chrono::fea::ChInertiaCosseratSimple.

◆ ComputeQuadraticTerms()

virtual void chrono::fea::ChInertiaCosserat::ComputeQuadraticTerms ( ChVector3d mF,
ChVector3d mT,
const ChVector3d mW 
)
pure virtual

Compute the values of inertial force & torque depending on quadratic velocity terms, that is the gyroscopic torque and the centrifugal term (if any).

All terms expressed in the material reference, ie. the reference in the centerline of the section.

Parameters
mFcentrifugal term (if any) returned here
mTgyroscopic term returned here
mWcurrent angular velocity of section, in material frame

Implemented in chrono::fea::ChInertiaCosseratAdvanced, and chrono::fea::ChInertiaCosseratSimple.

◆ GetMassPerUnitLength()

virtual double chrono::fea::ChInertiaCosserat::GetMassPerUnitLength ( )
pure virtual

Compute mass per unit length, ex.SI units [kg/m].

This is also the(0, 0) element in the sectional inertia matrix.

Implemented in chrono::fea::ChInertiaCosseratAdvanced, and chrono::fea::ChInertiaCosseratSimple.
