Model Modelica.​Mechanics.​Rotational.​Sources.​Position
Forced movement of a flange according to a reference angle signal

Information

The input signal phi_ref defines the reference angle in [rad]. Flange flange is forced to move according to this reference motion relative to flange support. According to parameter exact (default = false), this is done in the following way:

  1. exact=true
    The reference angle is treated exactly. This is only possible, if the input signal is defined by an analytical function which can be differentiated at least twice. If this prerequisite is fulfilled, the Modelica translator will differentiate the input signal twice in order to compute the reference acceleration of the flange.
  2. exact=false
    The reference angle is filtered and the second derivative of the filtered curve is used to compute the reference acceleration of the flange. This second derivative is not computed by numerical differentiation but by an appropriate realization of the filter. For filtering, a second order Bessel filter is used. The critical frequency (also called cut-off frequency) of the filter is defined via parameter f_crit in [Hz]. This value should be selected in such a way that it is higher as the essential low frequencies in the signal.

The input signal can be provided from one of the signal generator blocks of the block library Modelica.Blocks.Sources.

Model Modelica.​Mechanics.​Rotational.​Sources.​Speed
Forced movement of a flange according to a reference angular velocity signal

Information

The input signal w_ref defines the reference speed in [rad/s]. Flange flange is forced to move relative to flange support according to this reference motion. According to parameter exact (default = false), this is done in the following way:

  1. exact=true
    The reference speed is treated exactly. This is only possible, if the input signal is defined by an analytical function which can be differentiated at least once. If this prerequisite is fulfilled, the Modelica translator will differentiate the input signal once in order to compute the reference acceleration of the flange.
  2. exact=false
    The reference angle is filtered and the second derivative of the filtered curve is used to compute the reference acceleration of the flange. This second derivative is not computed by numerical differentiation but by an appropriate realization of the filter. For filtering, a first order filter is used. The critical frequency (also called cut-off frequency) of the filter is defined via parameter f_crit in [Hz]. This value should be selected in such a way that it is higher as the essential low frequencies in the signal.

Model Modelica.​Mechanics.​Rotational.​Sources.​Accelerate
Forced movement of a flange according to an acceleration signal

Information

The input signal a defines an angular acceleration in [rad/s2]. Flange flange is forced to move relative to flange support with this acceleration. The angular velocity w and the rotation angle phi of the flange are automatically determined by integration of the acceleration.

The input signal can be provided from one of the signal generator blocks of the block library Modelica.Blocks.Sources.

Model Modelica.​Mechanics.​Rotational.​Sources.​Move
Forced movement of a flange according to an angle, speed and angular acceleration signal

Information

Flange flange is forced to move relative to flange support with a predefined motion according to the input signals:

    u[1]: angle of flange
    u[2]: angular velocity of flange
    u[3]: angular acceleration of flange

The user has to guarantee that the input signals are consistent to each other, i.e., that u[2] is the derivative of u[1] and that u[3] is the derivative of u[2]. There are, however, also applications where by purpose these conditions do not hold. For example, if only the position dependent terms of a mechanical system shall be calculated, one may provide angle = angle(t) and set the angular velocity and the angular acceleration to zero.

The input signals can be provided from one of the signal generator blocks of the block library Modelica.Blocks.Sources.

Model Modelica.​Mechanics.​Rotational.​Sources.​EddyCurrentTorque
Simple model of a rotational eddy current brake

Information

This is a simple model of a rotational eddy current brake. The torque versus speed characteristic is defined by Kloss' equation.

Thermal behaviour:
The resistance of the braking disc is influenced by the actual temperature Theatport, which in turn shifts the speed w_nominal at which the (unchanged) maximum torque occurs.
If the heatPort is not used (useHeatPort = false), the operational temperature remains at the given temperature T.
However, the speed w_nominal at which the maximum torque occurs is adapted from reference temperature TRef to the operational temperature.
