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:

$$w = \frac{d\\phi}{dt}$$

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

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.
