RelativeAccelerationSensor

Ideal sensor measuring the relative acceleration between two translational flanges.

This sensor determines the acceleration of flange_b with respect to flange_a (where s_a and s_b in the equations below refer to flange_a.s and flange_b.s respectively). It operates by first calculating the relative displacement, $s_{rel}=s_b-s_a$. This relative displacement is then differentiated with respect to time to obtain the relative velocity, $v_{rel}=\frac{d(s_{rel})}{dt}$. Finally, the relative velocity is differentiated with respect to time to yield the relative acceleration, $a_{rel}=\frac{d(v_{rel})}{dt}$. The sensor is ideal, meaning it does not exert any force on the connected components; specifically, the force at flange_a is defined as zero, ensuring no mechanical load is introduced by the sensor.

This component extends from PartialRelativeSensor

Usage

TranslationalComponents.RelativeAccelerationSensor()

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)

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

Variables

Name	Description	Units
s_rel	Relative position of flange_b relative to flange_a	m
v_rel	Relative velocity of flange_b relative to flange_a	m/s

Ideal sensor measuring the relative acceleration between two translational flanges.

This sensor determines the acceleration of `flange_b` with respect to `flange_a`
(where `s_a` and `s_b` in the equations below refer to `flange_a.s` and `flange_b.s`
respectively). It operates by first calculating the relative displacement,
$s_{rel} = s_b - s_a$. This relative displacement is then differentiated with
respect to time to obtain the relative velocity, $v_{rel} = \frac{d(s_{rel})}{dt}$.
Finally, the relative velocity is differentiated with respect to time to yield the
relative acceleration, $a_{rel} = \frac{d(v_{rel})}{dt}$. The sensor is ideal,
meaning it does not exert any force on the connected components; specifically, the force at
`flange_a` is defined as zero, ensuring no mechanical load is introduced by the sensor.
