chrono::ChMaterialSurfaceNSC Class Reference

Description

Material data for a collision surface for use with non-smooth (complementarity) contact method.

Notes:

• Rolling friction
  Rolling resistant torque is Tr <= (normal force) * (rolling friction parameter)
  The rolling friction parameter is usually a very low value. Measuring unit: m.
  A non-zero value will make the simulation 2x slower!
• Spinning friction
  Spinning resistant torque is Ts <= (normal force) * (spinning friction parameter)
  The spinning friction parameter is usually a very low value. Measuring unit: m.
  A non-zero value will make the simulation 2x slower!

Member Function Documentation

GetCompliance()

float chrono::ChMaterialSurfaceNSC::GetCompliance ( )

inline

Compliance of the contact, in normal direction.

It is the inverse of the stiffness [K] , so for zero value one has a perfectly rigid contact. Measuring unit: m/N. Default 0.

GetComplianceRolling()

float chrono::ChMaterialSurfaceNSC::GetComplianceRolling ( )

inline

Rolling compliance of the contact, if using a nonzero rolling friction.

(If there is no rolling friction, this has no effect.) Measuring unit: rad/Nm. Default 0.

GetComplianceSpinning()

float chrono::ChMaterialSurfaceNSC::GetComplianceSpinning ( )

inline

Spinning compliance of the contact, if using a nonzero rolling friction.

(If there is no spinning friction, this has no effect.) Measuring unit: rad/Nm. Default 0.

GetComplianceT()

float chrono::ChMaterialSurfaceNSC::GetComplianceT ( )

inline

Compliance of the contact, in tangential direction.

Measuring unit: m/N. Default 0.

GetDampingF()

float chrono::ChMaterialSurfaceNSC::GetDampingF ( )

inline

The damping in contact, as a factor 'f': damping is a multiple of stiffness [K], that is: [R]=f*[K] Measuring unit: time, s.

Default 0.
