ForceSensor ​

Ideal sensor measuring the translational force transmitted between two flanges.

This component models an ideal sensor that measures the translational force acting between its two mechanical flanges, flange_a and flange_b. It ensures the sensor body is perfectly rigid, meaning no relative displacement between the flanges. This is expressed by the equation:

flangea.s=flangeb.s

The force exerted at flange_a is directly measured and provided as the output signal f:

flangea.f=f

By Newton's third law, the force at flange_b is equal and opposite to the force at flange_a:

flangeb.f=−flangea.f

This component extends from PartialRelativeSensor

Usage ​

TranslationalComponents.ForceSensor()

Connectors ​

  • flange_a - This connector represents a mechanical flange with position and force as the potential and flow variables, respectively. (Flange)

  • flange_b - This connector represents a mechanical flange with position and force as the potential and flow variables, respectively. (Flange)

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

Behavior ​

0=flange_b.f(t)+flange_a.f(t)flange_a.s(t)=flange_b.s(t)flange_a.f(t)=f(t)

Ideal sensor measuring the translational force transmitted between two flanges.

This component models an ideal sensor that measures the translational force acting between its two mechanical flanges, `flange_a` and `flange_b`.
It ensures the sensor body is perfectly rigid, meaning no relative displacement between the flanges.
This is expressed by the equation:

math flange_a.s = flange_b.s


The force exerted at `flange_a` is directly measured and provided as the output signal `f`:

math flange_a.f = f


By Newton's third law, the force at `flange_b` is equal and opposite to the force at `flange_a`:

math flange_b.f = -flange_a.f
