Description
Block Translational Damper It is an ideal mechanical translational viscous damper described by the following equations:
Where:
-
— the force transmitted through the damper.
-
— damping coefficient (viscous friction).
-
— relative speed.
-
— absolute speeds of ports R and C, respectively.
The positive direction of the block is from port R to port C. This means that the force is positive if it acts in the direction from R to C.
Ports
R — mechanical port
translational mechanics
Mechanical translational port, corresponds to the damper rod.
C — mechanical port
translational mechanics
Mechanical translational port, corresponds to the damper housing.
Parameters
Damping coefficient, N*s/m — damping coefficient
100.0 N*s/m (by default)
The damping coefficient caused by viscous friction.
Initial value of velocity, m/s — initial value of speed
0.0 (by default)
The initial speed value.
Initial value of force, N — initial value of force, N
0.0 (by default)
The initial value of the force.
