LinearElastic
LinearElastic is DefaultTrackFlexibility: .doc: """ Defines linear elastic flexibility model for each constrained degree of freedom for a Track System. Includes stiffness values and attenuation factors for each deformation mode. tensile - Linear elastic stiffness for longitudinal tension/compression [N/m]. The tensile stiffness of the track defines its resistance to stretching. Higher values indicate a more rigid track in the longitudinal direction. Stiffness is calculated as A * E / L, where A is cross section area, E is youngs modulus and L is length. The stiffness is defined per unit length [N/m] where L is 1 meter. bending_vertical - Linear elastic stiffness for side-to-side bending around the VERTICAL axis [Nm^2]. Defines resistance to bending. Calculated as E * I_a, where E is the youngs modulus and I_a is the second moment of area. bending_lateral - Linear elastic stiffness for sagging around the LATERAL axis [Nm^2]. Defines resistance to sagging (bending across track width). Calculated as E * I_a, where E is the youngs modulus and I_a is the second moment of area. shear_vertical - Linear elastic stiffness for shear deformation along the VERTICAL axis [N/m]. Resists shear deformation across the track height. Based on shear rigidity G*A [N], normalized per unit length. shear_lateral - Linear elastic stiffness for shear deformation along the LATERAL axis [N/m]. Resists shear deformation across the track width. Based on shear rigidity G*A [N], normalized per unit length. torsional - Linear elastic stiffness for torsional deformation around the main track longitudinal axis [Nm^2]. Resists twisting of the track about its longitudinal axis. Based on torsional rigidity G*J [Nm^2], normalized per unit length. default_attenuation - Attenuation factor that damps high-frequency oscillations above the Nyquist frequency. Applied universally to all deformation modes.
