AccelerationSource

Defines the forced angular movement of a spline based on an input acceleration signal.

This component models a rotational element where the angular acceleration of a spline, relative to its support, is directly driven by an external input signal, a_ref. It calculates the relative angle phi between the spline and its support. The relative angular velocity w and angular acceleration a are then determined as the time derivatives of phi:

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

The primary function of this component is to ensure that the calculated relative angular acceleration a of the spline equates to the provided input signal a_ref:

$$a=a_{ref}$$

This makes the component act as a source of prescribed acceleration for the spline's motion relative to its support.

This component extends from PartialElementaryOneSplineAndSupport

Usage

RotationalComponents.AccelerationSource()

Connectors

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

Defines the forced angular movement of a spline based on an input acceleration signal.

This component models a rotational element where the angular acceleration of a spline, relative to its support, is directly driven by an external input signal, `a_ref`.
It calculates the relative angle `phi` between the spline and its support. The relative angular velocity `w` and angular acceleration `a` are then determined as the time derivatives of `phi`:

math w = \frac{d\phi}

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

The primary function of this component is to ensure that the calculated relative angular acceleration `a` of the spline equates to the provided input signal `a_ref`:

math a = a_

This makes the component act as a source of prescribed acceleration for the spline's motion relative to its support.
