## Description

Inertia properties of a beam of Cosserat type, not necessarily of uniform density, from the following information that allows the center of mass to be offset respect to the beam centerline:

• a mass per unit length
• offset of the center of mass Cm along Y Z section axes,
• Jyy Jzz Jzy moments of inertia computed in section reference Y Z, not rotated and origin in centerline The polar moment of area is automatically inferred via perpendicular axis theorem.

Parameters
 mu_density mass per unit length [kg/m] c_y displacement of center of mass along Y c_z displacement of center of mass along Z Jyy_moment moment of inertia per unit length, about Y. Also Jyy= Mm(4,4) Jzz_moment moment of inertia per unit length, about Z. Also Jzz= Mm(5,5) Jyz_moment moment of inertia per unit length, about YZ (off diagonal term). Also Jyz= -Mm(4,5) = -Mm(5,4)

## ◆ ComputeInertiaMatrix()

 void chrono::fea::ChInertiaCosseratAdvanced::ComputeInertiaMatrix ( ChMatrixNM< double, 6, 6 > & M )
overridevirtual

Compute the 6x6 sectional inertia matrix, as in {x_momentum,w_momentum}=[Mm]{xvel,wvel} The matrix is computed in the material reference (i.e.

it is the sectional mass matrix).

Parameters
 M 6x6 sectional mass matrix values here

Implements chrono::fea::ChInertiaCosserat.

 void chrono::fea::ChInertiaCosseratAdvanced::ComputeQuadraticTerms ( ChVector<> & mF, ChVector<> & mT, const ChVector<> & mW )
overridevirtual

Compute the values of inertial force & torque depending on quadratic velocity terms, that is the gyroscopic torque w x [J]w and the centrifugal term (if center of mass is offset).

All terms expressed in the material reference, ie. the reference in the centerline of the section.

Parameters
 mF centrifugal term (if any) returned here mT gyroscopic term returned here mW current angular velocity of section, in material frame

Implements chrono::fea::ChInertiaCosserat.

## ◆ GetInertiaJxxPerUnitLength()

inlinevirtual

Get the Jxx component of the inertia per unit length (polar inertia), in the Y Z unrotated reference frame of the section at centerline.

Note: it automatically follows Jxx=Jyy+Jzz for the polar theorem.

## ◆ GetInertiaJyzPerUnitLength()

inlinevirtual

Get the Jyz off-diagonal component of the inertia per unit length, in the Y Z unrotated reference frame of the section at centerline.

Also Jyz = -Mm(4,5) = -Mm(5,4)

## ◆ GetMainInertiasInMassReference()

 void chrono::fea::ChInertiaCosseratAdvanced::GetMainInertiasInMassReference ( double & Jmyy, double & Jmzz, double & phi )
virtual

Get inertia moments, per unit length, as assumed computed in the Ym Zm "mass reference" frame, and the rotation phi of that frame, ie.

inertias centered at the center of mass and rotated by phi angle to match the main axes of inertia: $$Jm_{yy} = \int_\Omega \rho z_{m}^2 d\Omega$$, $$Jm_{zz} = \int_\Omega \rho y_{m}^2 d\Omega$$. Assuming the center of mass is already set.

Reimplemented in chrono::fea::ChInertiaCosseratMassref.

## ◆ SetInertiasPerUnitLength()

 void chrono::fea::ChInertiaCosseratAdvanced::SetInertiasPerUnitLength ( double Jyy_moment, double Jzz_moment, double Jyz_moment )
virtual

Set inertia moments, assumed computed in the Y Z unrotated reference frame of the section at centerline, and defined as: $$J_{yy} = \int_\Omega \rho z^2 d\Omega$$, also Jyy = Mm(4,4) $$J_{zz} = \int_\Omega \rho y^2 d\Omega$$, also Jzz = Mm(5,5) $$J_{yz} = \int_\Omega \rho y z d\Omega$$, also Jyz = -Mm(4,5) = -Mm(5,4) Note that for an uniform density, these are also related to second moments of area as $$J_{yy} = \rho I_{yy}$$, $$J_{zz} = \rho I_{zz}$$.

Note also that $$J_{xy} = J_{xz} = J_{yx} = J_{zx} = 0$$ anyway. Note also that $$J_{xy}$$ does not need to be input, as automatically computed via $$J_{xx} = J_{yy} +J_{zz}$$ for the polar theorem.
