ScrewJoint< T > Class Template Referencefinal

Detailed Description

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

This joint models a screw joint allowing two bodies to rotate about one axis while translating along that same axis with one degree of freedom.

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 (while rotating) along an axis â. Axis â is constant and has the same measures in both frames F and M, that is, â_F = â_M. The rotation about the â_F axis and its rate specify the state of the joint. Zero (θ) corresponds to frames F and M being coincident and aligned. The translation distance is defined positive when child body B translates along the direction of â, and the rotation θ is defined to be positive according to the right-hand-rule with the thumb aligned in the direction of the â_F axis.

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

ScrewJoint ( const std::string &  name,
const Frame< T > &  frame_on_parent,
const Frame< T > &  frame_on_child,
double  screw_pitch,
double  damping 
)

Constructor to create a screw joint between two bodies so that frame F attached to the parent body P and frame M attached to the child body B translate and rotate as described in the class's documentation.

This constructor signature creates a joint with the axis â set to the z-axis and no joint limits, i.e. the joint angular position, angular velocity and angular acceleration limits are the pair (-∞, ∞). These can be set using the Joint methods set_position_limits(), set_velocity_limits() and set_acceleration_limits() in radians, radians/s, radians/s² units. 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]screw_pitchAmount of translation in meters occurring over a one full screw revolution. It's domain is (-∞, ∞). When the screw pitch is negative, positive rotation will result in translating towards the negative direction of z-axis. When the screw pitch is zero, this joint will behave like a revolute joint.
[in]dampingViscous damping coefficient, N⋅m⋅s/rad for rotation, used to model losses within the joint. See documentation of default_damping() for details on modelling of the damping torque.
Exceptions
std::exceptionif damping is negative.

double  screw_pitch,
double  damping 
)

Constructor to create a screw joint between two bodies so that frame F attached to the parent body P and frame M attached to the child body B translate and rotate as described in the class's documentation.

This constructor signature creates a joint with no joint limits, i.e. the joint angular position, angular velocity and angular acceleration limits are the pair (-∞, ∞). These can be set using the Joint methods set_position_limits(), set_velocity_limits() and set_acceleration_limits() in radians, radians/s, radians/s² units. 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]axisA vector in ℝ³ specifying the axis of motion for this joint. The coordinates of axis expressed in frames F and M are the same at all times, 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.
[in]screw_pitchAmount of translation in meters occurring over a one full screw revolution. It's domain is (-∞, ∞). When the screw pitch is negative, positive rotation will result in translating towards the negative direction of â-axis. When the screw pitch is zero, this joint will behave like a revolute joint.
[in]dampingViscous damping coefficient, N⋅m⋅s/rad for rotation, used to model losses within the joint. See documentation of default_damping() for details on modelling of the damping torque.
Exceptions
std::exceptionif the L2 norm of axis is less than the square root of machine epsilon.
std::exceptionif damping is negative.
