Introduction

The clutch models model represent friction relative to other objects. The amount of friction depends on the normal force that is applied and the friction function that is used. The normal force is given by the input signal FN.

 

Clurch

 

The port p of the clutch model has separate high and low terminals. The equations are:

 

p.T = p_high.T = p_low.T

p.omega = p_high.omega - p_low.omega

 

Due to the use of normal force, the clutch models all have a fixed torque out causality. The constitutive equations are therefore described as:

 

p.T = Fn * f(p.omega);

 

with f the friction function.

Description - C

This model represents bearing with friction force described as coulomb friction. The amount of friction depends on the normal force that is applied and the friction function that is used:

 

p.T = Tc*tanh(slope*p.omega);

 

Tc: coulomb friction

slope: the steepness of the coulomb friction curve.
