chrono::ChShaftsTorsionSpringDamper Class Reference

Description

Class for defining a torsional spring-damper between two 1D parts; i.e., shafts that can be used to build 1D models of powertrains.

This is more efficient than simulating power trains modeled with full 3D ChBody objects. This supersedes the old ChShaftsTorsionSpring (which cannot handle extremely stiff spring values)

◆ ComputeShaftShaftTorque()

void chrono::ChShaftsTorsionSpringDamper::ComputeShaftShaftTorque ( const double  rel_rot,
const double  rel_rot_dt,
double &  result_torque 
)
overrideprotectedvirtual

Implement the computation of the torque between the two shafts, given relative rotation and velocity.

Torque is assumed applied to shaft B, and it's opposite to A.

Implements chrono::ChShaftsLoad.

◆ IsStiff()

virtual bool chrono::ChShaftsTorsionSpringDamper::IsStiff ( )
inlineoverrideprotectedvirtual

Report if this is load is stiff.

If so, InjectKRMmatrices will provide the jacobians of the load.

Implements chrono::ChLoadBase.
