chrono::fea::ChInertiaCosseratUniformDensity Class Reference

Description

Inertia properties of a beam of Cosserat type, defined from an uniform density [kg/m^3], and the following geometric information:

• a section area
• Iyy Izz second moments of area The polar moment of area is automatically inferred via perpendicular axis theorem, Ip=Iyy+Izz. The section is assumed aligned to principal axis of the moment of area tensor, ie. Iyz=0, the section is assumed to be centered in the center of mass.

GetInertiaJxxPerUnitLength()

virtual double chrono::fea::ChInertiaCosseratUniformDensity::GetInertiaJxxPerUnitLength ( )

inlineoverridevirtual

Compute the Ixx component of the inertia tensor per unit length, i.e.

the part associated with rotation about the beam direction. In this case it is \( J_{xx} = \rho I_p \), where \( I_p = I_z + I_y \) is the polar moment of area.

Implements chrono::fea::ChInertiaCosserat.

GetInertiaJyyPerUnitLength()

virtual double chrono::fea::ChInertiaCosseratUniformDensity::GetInertiaJyyPerUnitLength ( )

inlineoverridevirtual

Compute the Jyy component of the inertia tensor per unit length, i.e.

the part associated with rotation of the section on its Y axis. Defined as: \( J_{yy} = \int_\Omega \rho z^2 dA \), with \( \rho \) density in [kg/m^3]. For uniform density it is \( J_{yy} = \rho I_y \), where \( I_y = \int_\Omega \rho z^2 dA \) is the second moment of area.

Implements chrono::fea::ChInertiaCosserat.

GetInertiaJzzPerUnitLength()

virtual double chrono::fea::ChInertiaCosseratUniformDensity::GetInertiaJzzPerUnitLength ( )

inlineoverridevirtual

Compute the Jzz component of the inertia tensor per unit length, i.e.

the part associated with rotation of the section on its Z axis. Defined as: \( J_{zz} = \int_\Omega \rho y^2 dA \), with \( \rho \) density in [kg/m^3]. For uniform density it is \( J_{zz} = \rho I_z \), where \( I_z = \int_\Omega \rho y^2 dA \) is the second moment of area.

Implements chrono::fea::ChInertiaCosserat.

SetAsCircularSection()

void chrono::fea::ChInertiaCosseratUniformDensity::SetAsCircularSection ( double  diameter, double  density  )

virtual

Shortcut: set Izz, Iyy, Area and density at once, given the diameter the beam assumed with circular shape, and volumetric density.

Assuming centered section.

SetAsRectangularSection()

void chrono::fea::ChInertiaCosseratUniformDensity::SetAsRectangularSection ( double  width_y, double  width_z, double  density  )

virtual

Shortcut: set Izz, Iyy, Area and density at once, given the y and z widths of the beam assumed with rectangular shape, and volumetric density.

Assuming centered section.

SetIyy()

void chrono::fea::ChInertiaCosseratUniformDensity::SetIyy ( double  mi )

inline

Set the Iyy second moment of area of the beam (for bending about y in xz plane), defined as \( I_y = \int_\Omega \rho z^2 dA \).

Note: some textbook calls this Iyy as Iy. Note: it can correspond to the same Iyy that you used for the elasticity, ex. in ChElasticityCosseratSimple. Ex. SI units: [m^4]

SetIzz()

void chrono::fea::ChInertiaCosseratUniformDensity::SetIzz ( double  mi )

inline

Set the Izz second moment of area of the beam (for bending about z in xy plane), defined as \( I_z = \int_\Omega \rho y^2 dA \).

Note: some textbook calls this Izz as Iz. Note: it can correspond to the same Izz that you used for the elasticity, ex. in ChElasticityCosseratSimple. Ex. SI units: [m^4]
