chrono::fea::ChInertiaCosseratSimple Class Reference

Description

Inertia properties of a beam of Cosserat type, defined from an uniform density [kg/m^3], and the following geometric information:

• a section area
• Iyy Izz second moments of area The polar moment of area is automatically inferred via perpendicular axis theorem, Ip=Iyy+Izz. The section is assumed aligned to principal axis of the moment of area tensor, ie. Iyz=0, The section is assumed to be centered in the center of mass, The density is constant.

ComputeInertiaMatrix()

void chrono::fea::ChInertiaCosseratSimple::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). In this case it is simply a constant diagonal mass matrix with diagonal {rho*A,rho*A,rho*A, rho*Iyy+Izz, rho*Iyy, rho*Izz}

Parameters

M	6x6 sectional mass matrix values here

Implements chrono::fea::ChInertiaCosserat.

ComputeQuadraticTerms()

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

overridevirtual

Compute the values of inertial torque depending on quadratic velocity terms, per unit length, that is the gyroscopic torque w x [J]w .

Quadratic force is null as mass is centered. 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()

virtual double chrono::fea::ChInertiaCosseratSimple::GetInertiaJxxPerUnitLength ( )

inlinevirtual

Compute the Jxx component of the inertia tensor per unit length, i.e.

the part associated with rotation about the beam direction. In this case it is \( J_{xx} = \rho I_p \), where \( I_p = I_{zz} + I_{yy} \) is the polar moment of area.

GetInertiaJyyPerUnitLength()

virtual double chrono::fea::ChInertiaCosseratSimple::GetInertiaJyyPerUnitLength ( )

inlinevirtual

Compute the Jyy component of the inertia tensor per unit length, i.e.

the part associated with rotation of the section on its Y axis. Defined as: \( J_{yy} = \int_\Omega \rho z^2 d\Omega \), with \( \rho \) density in [kg/m^3]. For uniform density it is \( J_{yy} = \rho I_{yy} \), where \( I_{yy} = \int_\Omega z^2 d\Omega \) is the second moment of area.

GetInertiaJzzPerUnitLength()

virtual double chrono::fea::ChInertiaCosseratSimple::GetInertiaJzzPerUnitLength ( )

inlinevirtual

Compute the Jzz component of the inertia tensor per unit length, i.e.

the part associated with rotation of the section on its Z axis. Defined as: \( J_{zz} = \int_\Omega \rho y^2 d\Omega \), with \( \rho \) density in [kg/m^3]. For uniform density it is \( J_{zz} = \rho I_{zz} \), where \( I_{zz} = \int_\Omega y^2 d\Omega \) is the second moment of area.

inline

Set the Iyy second moment of area of the beam (for bending about y in xz plane), defined as \( I_{yy} = \int_\Omega z^2 d\Omega \).

Note: some textbook calls this Iyy as Iy. Note: it can correspond to the same Iyy that you used for the elasticity, ex. in ChElasticityCosseratSimple. Ex. SI units: [m^4]

SetIzz()

void chrono::fea::ChInertiaCosseratSimple::SetIzz ( double  mi )

inline

Set the Izz second moment of area of the beam (for bending about z in xy plane), defined as \( I_{zz} = \int_\Omega y^2 d\Omega \).
