RevoluteJoint< T > Class Template Reference

Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class drake::multibody::RevoluteJoint< T >

This Joint allows two bodies to rotate relatively to one another around a common axis.

That is, given a frame F attached to the parent body P and a frame M attached to the child body B (see the Joint class's documentation), this Joint allows frames F and M to rotate with respect to each other about an axis â. The rotation angle's sign is defined such that child body B rotates about axis â according to the right hand rule, with thumb aligned in the axis direction. Axis â is constant and has the same measures in both frames F and M, that is, â_F = â_M.

Template Parameters

T	The scalar type, which must be one of the default scalars.

RevoluteJoint() [3/4]

RevoluteJoint	(	const std::string &	name,
		const Frame< T > &	frame_on_parent,
		const Frame< T > &	frame_on_child,
		const Vector3< double > &	axis,
		double	damping = 0
	)

Constructor to create a revolute joint between two bodies so that frame F attached to the parent body P and frame M attached to the child body B, rotate relatively to one another about a common axis.

See this class's documentation for further details on the definition of these frames and rotation angle. This constructor signature creates a joint with no joint limits, i.e. the joint position, velocity and acceleration limits are the pair (-∞, ∞). The first three arguments to this constructor are those of the Joint class constructor. See the Joint class's documentation for details. The additional parameters are:

Parameters

[in]	axis	A vector in ℝ³ specifying the axis of revolution for this joint. Given that frame M only rotates with respect to F and their origins are coincident at all times, the measures of axis in either frame F or M are exactly the same, that is, axis_F = axis_M. In other words, axis_F (or axis_M) is the eigenvector of R_FM with eigenvalue equal to one. This vector can have any length, only the direction is used. This method aborts if axis is the zero vector.
[in]	damping	Viscous damping coefficient, in N⋅m⋅s, used to model losses within the joint. The damping torque (in N⋅m) is modeled as τ = -damping⋅ω, i.e. opposing motion, with ω the angular rate for this joint (see get_angular_rate()).

Exceptions

std::exception

if damping is negative.

In other words, axis_F (or axis_M) is the eigenvector of R_FM with eigenvalue equal to one. This vector can have any length, only the direction is used.
[in]	pos_lower_limit	Lower position limit, in radians, for the rotation coordinate (see get_angle()).
[in]	pos_upper_limit	Upper position limit, in radians, for the rotation coordinate (see get_angle()).
[in]	damping	Viscous damping coefficient, in N⋅m⋅s, used to model losses within the joint. The damping torque (in N⋅m) is modeled as τ = -damping⋅ω, i.e. opposing motion, with ω the angular rate for this joint (see get_angular_rate()).

Exceptions

std::exception	if the L2 norm of axis is less than the square root of machine epsilon.
std::exception	if damping is negative.
std::exception	if pos_lower_limit > pos_upper_limit.

acceleration_lower_limit()

double acceleration_lower_limit

(

)

const

Returns the acceleration lower limit for this joint in radians / s².

acceleration_upper_limit()

double acceleration_upper_limit

(

)

const

Returns the acceleration upper limit for this joint in radians / s².

AddInTorque()

void AddInTorque	(	const systems::Context< T > &	context,
		const T &	torque,
		MultibodyForces< T > *	forces
	)		const

Adds into forces a given torque for this joint that is to be applied about the joint's axis.

The torque is defined to be positive according to the right-hand-rule with the thumb aligned in the direction of this joint's axis. That is, a positive torque causes a positive rotational acceleration according to the right-hand-rule around the joint's axis.

Note

A torque is the moment of a set of forces whose resultant is zero.

default_damping()

double default_damping

(

)

const

Returns this joint's default damping constant in N⋅m⋅s.

DoAddInDamping()

void DoAddInDamping ( const systems::Context< T > &  context, MultibodyForces< T > *  forces  ) const

overrideprotectedvirtual

Joint<T> override called through public NVI, Joint::AddInDamping().

Therefore arguments were already checked to be valid. This method adds into forces a dissipative torque according to the viscous law τ = -d⋅ω, with d the damping coefficient (see default_damping()).

Reimplemented from Joint< T >.

DoAddInOneForce()

void DoAddInOneForce ( const systems::Context< T > &  , int  joint_dof, const T &  joint_tau, MultibodyForces< T > *  forces  ) const

overrideprotectedvirtual

Joint<T> override called through public NVI, Joint::AddInForce().

Therefore arguments were already checked to be valid. For a RevoluteJoint, we must always have joint_dof = 0 since there is only a single degree of freedom (num_velocities() == 1). joint_tau is the torque applied about the joint's axis, on the body declared as child (according to the revolute joint's constructor) at the origin of the child frame (which is coincident with the origin of the parent frame at all times). The torque is defined to be positive according to the right-hand-rule with the thumb aligned in the direction of this joint's axis. That is, a positive torque causes a positive rotational acceleration (of the child body frame) according to the right-hand-rule around the joint's axis.
