QuaternionFloatingJoint< T > Class Template Referencefinal

Detailed Description

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

This Joint allows two bodies to move freely relatively to one another.

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 frame M to translate and rotate freely with respect to F, introducing six degrees of freedom. This Joint introduces four generalized positions to describe the orientation R_FM of frame M in F with a quaternion q_FM, and three generalized positions to describe the position of frame M's origin in F with a position vector p_FM. As generalized velocities, this Joint introduces the angular velocity w_FM of frame M in F and the linear velocity v_FM of frame M's origin in frame F.

Template Parameters
TThe scalar type, which must be one of the default scalars.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QuaternionFloatingJoint() [1/3]

◆ QuaternionFloatingJoint() [2/3]

◆ QuaternionFloatingJoint() [3/3]

QuaternionFloatingJoint ( const std::string &  name,
const Frame< T > &  frame_on_parent,
const Frame< T > &  frame_on_child,
double  angular_damping = 0.0,
double  translational_damping = 0.0 
)

Constructor for a QuaternionFloatingJoint granting six degrees of freedom to an outboard frame M attached to the child body B with respect to an inboard frame F attached to the parent body P.

The orientation of frame M in F is represented by a quaternion q_FM while the position of F in M is given by a position vector p_FM expressed in frame F. See this class's documentation for further details on the definition of these frames, get_quaternion() and get_position() for an explanation of the configuration of this joint, and get_angular_velocity() and get_translational_velocity() for an explanation of the generalized velocities.

This constructor signature creates a joint with no joint limits, i.e. the joint position, velocity and acceleration limits are the pair (-∞, ∞). These can be set using the Joint methods set_position_limits(), set_velocity_limits() and set_acceleration_limits().

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]angular_dampingViscous damping coefficient in N⋅m⋅s for the angular component of this joint's velocity, used to model losses within the joint. See documentation of default_angular_damping() for details on modelling of the damping force.
[in]translational_dampingViscous damping coefficient in N⋅s/m for the translational component of this joint's velocity, used to model losses within the joint. See documentation of default_translational_damping() for details on modelling of the damping force.
Exceptions
std::exceptionif angular_damping is negative.
std::exceptionif translational_damping is negative.

Member Function Documentation

◆ angular_damping()

double angular_damping ( ) const

(Deprecated.)

Deprecated:
Use default_angular_damping() instead.
This will be removed from Drake on or after 2024-06-01.

◆ default_angular_damping()

double default_angular_damping ( ) const

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

The damping torque (in N⋅m) is modeled as τ = -damping⋅ω, i.e. opposing motion, with ω the angular velocity of frame M in F (see get_angular_velocity()) and τ the torque on child body B (to which M is rigidly attached).

◆ default_translational_damping()

double default_translational_damping ( ) const

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

The damping force (in N) is modeled as f = -damping⋅v i.e. opposing motion, with v the translational velocity of frame M in F (see get_translational_velocity()) and f the force on child body B at Mo.

◆ 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 the translational component of forces for this joint a dissipative force according to the viscous law f = -d⋅v, with d the damping coefficient (see default_translational_damping()). This method also adds into the angular component of forces for this joint a dissipative torque according to the viscous law τ = -d⋅ω, with d the damping coefficient (see default_angular_damping()).

Reimplemented from Joint< T >.

◆ DoAddInOneForce()

void DoAddInOneForce ( const systems::Context< T > &  ,
int  ,
const T &  ,
MultibodyForces< T > *

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

Adding forces per-dof makes no physical sense. Therefore, this method throws an exception if invoked.

Implements Joint< T >.
