AccelerationSensor

Measures the absolute angular acceleration of a rotational spline.

This sensor determines the absolute angular acceleration of its spline connector, leveraging properties inherited from PartialAbsoluteSensor, such as the spline's angle (spline.phi). The absolute angular velocity (w) is first calculated as the time derivative of this angle:

$$\begin{gathered} w=\frac{d\text{spline}. \\ phi}{dt} \end{gathered}$$

Then, the absolute angular acceleration (a) is computed as the time derivative of the angular velocity:

$$\begin{gathered} a=\frac{dw}{dt}=\frac{d^2\text{spline}. \\ phi}{d{t}^2} \end{gathered}$$

This resulting acceleration is provided as the output a.

This component extends from PartialAbsoluteSensor

Usage

RotationalComponents.AccelerationSensor()

Connectors

• spline - This connector represents a rotational spline with angle and torque as the potential and flow variables, respectively. (Spline)

• a - This connector represents a real signal as an output from a component (RealOutput)

Measures the absolute angular acceleration of a rotational spline.

This sensor determines the absolute angular acceleration of its `spline` connector, leveraging properties inherited from `PartialAbsoluteSensor`, such as the spline's angle (`spline.phi`).
The absolute angular velocity (`w`) is first calculated as the time derivative of this angle:

math w = \frac{d\text{spline}.\phi}

Then, the absolute angular acceleration (`a`) is computed as the time derivative of the angular velocity:

math a = \frac{dw}{dt} = \frac{d^2\text{spline}.\phi}

This resulting acceleration is provided as the output `a`.
