Description
The Rotational Damper models an ideal linear damper in a rotational system described with the following equations:
where is the torque flow from the unmarked towards the marked flange and
is the angular speed of the marked flange with respect to the unmarked
one.
Parameters
- Damper constant
- The damping (viscous friction) constant
, in
.
- Initial displacement
- The initial displacement of the flanges, in radians. May be specified in order to provide proper initial conditions if absolute angles are measured anywhere in the system. Otherwise, this parameter can be left blank.
