Member Function Documentation

◆ ExportComponentList()

void chrono::vehicle::ChTranslationalDamperSuspension::ExportComponentList ( rapidjson::Document &  jsonDocument) const
overrideprotectedvirtual

Export this subsystem's component list to the specified JSON object.

Derived classes should override this function and first invoke the base class implementation, followed by calls to the various static Export***List functions, as appropriate.

Reimplemented from chrono::vehicle::ChTrackSuspension.

◆ getArmBushingData()

virtual std::shared_ptr<ChVehicleBushingData> chrono::vehicle::ChTranslationalDamperSuspension::getArmBushingData ( ) const
inlineprotectedvirtual

Return stiffness and damping data for the arm bushing.

Returning nullptr (default) results in using a kinematic revolute joint.

Reimplemented in chrono::vehicle::m113::M113_Suspension.

◆ GetCarrierAngle()

double chrono::vehicle::ChTranslationalDamperSuspension::GetCarrierAngle ( ) const
overridevirtual

Return the current pitch angle of the carrier body.

This angle is measured in the x-z transversal plane, from the initial configuration, and follows the right-hand rule.

Implements chrono::vehicle::ChTrackSuspension.

◆ GetLocation()

virtual const ChVector chrono::vehicle::ChTranslationalDamperSuspension::GetLocation ( PointId  which)
protectedpure virtual

Return the location of the specified hardpoint.

The returned location must be expressed in the idler subsystem reference frame.

Implemented in chrono::vehicle::m113::M113_Suspension, and chrono::vehicle::marder::Marder_Suspension.

◆ Initialize()

void chrono::vehicle::ChTranslationalDamperSuspension::Initialize ( std::shared_ptr< ChChassis chassis,
const ChVector<> &  location,
ChTrackAssembly track 
)
overridevirtual

Initialize this suspension subsystem.

The suspension subsystem is initialized by attaching it to the specified chassis body at the specified location (with respect to and expressed in the reference frame of the chassis). It is assumed that the suspension reference frame is always centered at the location of the road wheel and aligned with the chassis reference frame.

Parameters
[in]chassisassociated chassis subsystem
[in]locationlocation relative to the chassis frame
[in]trackcontaining track assembly

Reimplemented from chrono::vehicle::ChTrackSuspension.

◆ InitializeInertiaProperties()

void chrono::vehicle::ChTranslationalDamperSuspension::InitializeInertiaProperties ( )
overrideprotectedvirtual

Initialize subsystem inertia properties.

Derived classes must override this function and set the subsystem mass (m_mass) and, if constant, the subsystem COM frame and its inertia tensor. This function is called during initialization of the vehicle system.

Implements chrono::vehicle::ChPart.

◆ ReportSuspensionForce()

ChTrackSuspension::ForceTorque chrono::vehicle::ChTranslationalDamperSuspension::ReportSuspensionForce ( ) const
overridevirtual

Return current suspension forces or torques, as appropriate (spring and shock).

A ChTranslationalDamperSuspension returns a torque for the spring and a force for the damper.

Implements chrono::vehicle::ChTrackSuspension.

◆ UpdateInertiaProperties()

void chrono::vehicle::ChTranslationalDamperSuspension::UpdateInertiaProperties ( )
overrideprotectedvirtual

Update subsystem inertia properties.

Derived classes must override this function and set the global subsystem transform (m_xform) and, unless constant, the subsystem COM frame (m_com) and its inertia tensor (m_inertia). Calculate the current inertia properties and global frame of this subsystem. This function is called every time the state of the vehicle system is advanced in time.

Implements chrono::vehicle::ChPart.
