Rotational Damper - Simulate viscous damper in mechanical rotational systems
Library
Mechanical Rotational Elements
Description
The Rotational Damper block represents an ideal mechanical rotational
viscous damper described with the following equations:
where
| T | Torque transmitted through the damper |
| D | Damping (viscous friction) coefficient |
| ω | Relative angular velocity |
| ωR,ωC | Absolute angular velocities of terminals R and C, respectively |
The block positive direction
is from port R to port C. This means that the torque is positive if
it acts in the direction from R to C.
Dialog Box and Parameters
- Damping coefficient
Damping coefficient, defined by viscose friction. The default
value is 0.001 N*m/(rad/s).
Ports
The block has the following ports:
- R
Mechanical rotational conserving port.
- C
Mechanical rotational conserving port.
