`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:

\[flange_a.s = flange_b.s\]

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

\[flange_a.f = f\]

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

\[flange_b.f = -flange_a.f\]

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

\[ \begin{align} 0 &= \mathtt{flange\_b.f}\left( t \right) + \mathtt{flange\_a.f}\left( t \right) \\ \mathtt{flange\_a.s}\left( t \right) &= \mathtt{flange\_b.s}\left( t \right) \\ \mathtt{flange\_a.f}\left( t \right) &= f\left( t \right) \end{align} \]

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 flangea.s = flangeb.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 flangeb.f = -flangea.f
