AngularVelocity — Extraction of angular velocity between triads [maple]

Reference: Appendix B in Multibody Mechanics and Visualization by Harry Dankowicz, published by Springer Verlag UK, 2004.

Calling Sequence

AngularVelocity(a1,a2)

Parameters

a1, a2: name of defined triads

Description

The function AngularVelocity returns the angular velocity of the triad a2 relative to the triad a1.

Remember to invoke DeclareStates prior to using AngularVelocity.

Examples

>Restart(): >DeclareTriads(a,b): >DefineTriads(a,b,[q1,1],[q2,3],[q3,1]): >DeclareStates(q1,q2,q3): >AngularVelocity(a,b);

$table ([1 = table ([Coordinates = [\begin{array}{c} \cos (q2) q1t + q3t \\ q2t \sin (q3) - \sin (q2) q1t \cos (q3) \\ q2t \cos (q3) + \sin (q3) q1t \sin (q2) \end{array}], Triad = b]), Size = 1, Type = Vector])$
