PrescribeInitialEquilibrium

Sets initial zero angular velocity and zero angular acceleration for a rotational connector.

This component establishes an initial equilibrium state for an associated Spline connector by setting its initial angular velocity (w) and initial angular acceleration (a) to zero. It also ensures that the torque (spline.tau) on the connector is zero. The component defines the kinematic relationships where angular velocity (w) is the time derivative of the spline's angle (spline.phi), and angular acceleration (a) is the time derivative of angular velocity, as expressed in the relations section:

\[\begin{align*} w &= \frac{d \text{spline.phi}}{dt}\\ a &= \frac{dw}{dt} \end{align*}\]

These initial conditions and definitions ensure the connected rotational system starts from a standstill without any initial torque being applied through this prescription.

Usage

PrescribeInitialEquilibrium()

Connectors

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

Variables

Behavior

\[ \begin{align} \mathtt{spline.tau}\left( t \right) &= 0 \\ w\left( t \right) &= \frac{\mathrm{d} \mathtt{spline.phi}\left( t \right)}{\mathrm{d}t} \\ a\left( t \right) &= \frac{\mathrm{d} w\left( t \right)}{\mathrm{d}t} \end{align} \]
