Dynamometer

Dynamometer component

 

 

           

 

The Dynamometer component models a simple dynamometer providing a resistive load at the end of a power train. The dynamometer has rotary inertia and linear and quadratic damping. An optional real signal input is also provided for cases where a known load (torque) is applied to the input shaft.

 

Equations

 

 

τa =  J  · αa+ dlin· ωa + dquad · ωaωa  + L

 

Where

αa  = ⅆ2ⅆ t2 ϕa   and   ωa = ⅆⅆ t ϕa
