Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ Mode

enum chrono::vehicle::ChTireTestRig::Mode

strong

Tire test rig operation mode.

Enumerator
SUSPEND	suspended tire (locked spindle)
DROP	tire drop test
TEST	normal tire test

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ChTireTestRig()

chrono::vehicle::ChTireTestRig::ChTireTestRig	(	std::shared_ptr< ChWheel >	wheel,
		std::shared_ptr< ChTire >	tire,
		ChSystem *	system
	)

Construct a tire test rig within the specified system.

Parameters

wheel	wheel subsystem
tire	tire subsystem
system	containing mechanical system

Member Function Documentation

◆ GetDBP()

double chrono::vehicle::ChTireTestRig::GetDBP ( ) const

Return current drawbar-pull value.

This is the reaction force in the linear motor used to enforce the specified rig longitudinal speed.

◆ GetSuggestedCollisionSettings()

void chrono::vehicle::ChTireTestRig::GetSuggestedCollisionSettings	(	double &	collision_envelope,
		ChVector3i &	collision_bins
	)		const

Get suggested collision settings.

These values are meaningful only when using granular terrain and Chrono::Multicore.

Parameters

collision_envelope	suggested envelope based on particle radius
collision_bins	suggested number of bins for broad-pahse collision detection

◆ Initialize()

void chrono::vehicle::ChTireTestRig::Initialize ( Mode mode )

Initialize the rig system.

It is the user's responsibility to set the operation mode and motion functions in a consistent way.

◆ SetAngSpeedFunction()

void chrono::vehicle::ChTireTestRig::SetAngSpeedFunction ( std::shared_ptr< ChFunction > funct )

Specify wheel angular speed as function of time (default: none).

If a function is not specified, the wheel is not actuated.

◆ SetConstantLongitudinalSlip()

void chrono::vehicle::ChTireTestRig::SetConstantLongitudinalSlip	(	double	long_slip,
		double	base_speed = `1`
	)

Specify a constant given longitudinal slip.

This version overrides the motion functions for the carrier longitudinal slip and for the wheel angular speed to enfore the specified longitudinalslip value. A positive slip value indicates that the wheel is spinning. A negative slip value indicates that the wheel is sliding (skidding); in particular, s=-1 indicates sliding without rotation.

◆ SetLongSpeedFunction()

void chrono::vehicle::ChTireTestRig::SetLongSpeedFunction ( std::shared_ptr< ChFunction > funct )

Specify rig carrier longitudinal speed as function of time (default: none).

If a function is not specified, the carrier is not actuated.

◆ SetTerrainGranular()

void chrono::vehicle::ChTireTestRig::SetTerrainGranular	(	double	radius,
		unsigned int	num_layers,
		double	density,
		double	friction,
		double	cohesion,
		double	Young_modulus
	)

Enable use of granular terrain.

The terrain subsystem consists of identical spherical particles initialized in layers. A moving-patch option is used, with the patch dimensions set based on the tire dimensions.

Parameters

radius	particle radius [m]
num_layers	number of layers for initial particle creation
density	particle material density [kg/m3]
friction	inter-particle coefficient of friction
cohesion	inter-particle cohesion pressure [Pa]
Young_modulus	particle contact material Young's modulus [Pa]

◆ SetTerrainRigid()

void chrono::vehicle::ChTireTestRig::SetTerrainRigid	(	double	friction,
		double	restitution,
		double	Young_modulus,
		double	terrain_length = `10`
	)

Enable use of rigid terrain. Specify contact material properties.

Parameters

friction	coefficient of friction
restitution	coefficient of restitution
Young_modulus	contact material Young's modulus [Pa]
terrain_length	length of terrain patch [m]

◆ SetTerrainSCM()

void chrono::vehicle::ChTireTestRig::SetTerrainSCM	(	double	Bekker_Kphi,
		double	Bekker_Kc,
		double	Bekker_n,
		double	Mohr_cohesion,
		double	Mohr_friction,
		double	Janosi_shear,
		double	terrain_length = `10`
	)

Enable use of SCM terrain. Specify SCM soil parameters.

Parameters

Bekker_Kphi	Kphi, frictional modulus in Bekker model
Bekker_Kc	Kc, cohesive modulus in Bekker model
Bekker_n	n, exponent of sinkage in Bekker model (usually 0.6...1.8)
Mohr_cohesion	cohesion [Pa], for shear failure
Mohr_friction	Friction angle [degrees], for shear failure
Janosi_shear	shear parameter J [m], (usually a few mm or cm)
terrain_length	length of terrain patch
