Add Rotating Frame and
Linearly Accelerated Frame nodes to create the loads caused by the frame acceleration. This gives load contributions from all nodes in the physics interface that have a density or mass, such as
Linear Elastic Material,
Rigid Material,
Added Mass, or
Point Mass.
In the following, the mass density ρ should be considered as generalized. It can represent mass per unit volume, mass per unit area, mass per unit length, or even mass, depending on the dimensionality of the object giving the contribution.
where af is a specified linear frame acceleration vector. Alternatively, the effective acceleration in the accelerated frame can be augmented to include the frame acceleration effect:
where Ω is the angular velocity. In vector form, the acceleration contribution and the loads are
where rp is the rotation position vector that contains the coordinates with respect to any point on the axis of rotation. The point is given by its radius vector in the global coordinate system
rbp.
