This class implements a nonlinear spring ligament model introduced by Blankevoort et al. (1991) [1] and further described in Smith et al. (2016) [2].
This model is partially based on the formulation orginally proposed by Wismans et al. (1980) [3]. The ligament is represented as a passive spring with the force-strain relationship described by a quadratic "toe" region at low strains and a linear region at high strains. The toe region represents the uncrimping and alignment of collagen fibers and the linear region represents the subsequent stretching of the aligned fibers. The ligament model also includes a damping force that is only applied if the ligament is stretched beyond the slack length and if the ligament is lengthening. The length of the ligament is \( l \).
Governing Equations
Spring Force:
\[ F_{\mathrm{spring}} = \begin{Bmatrix} 0 & \epsilon < 0 \\ \frac{1}{2\epsilon_t }k\epsilon^2 & 0 \leq \epsilon \leq \epsilon_t \\ k(\epsilon - \frac{\epsilon_t}{2})& \epsilon > \epsilon_t \end{Bmatrix} \]
Damping Force:
\[ F_{\mathrm{damping}} = \begin{Bmatrix} c\cdot \dot{\epsilon} & \epsilon > 0 \: and \: \dot{\epsilon} > 0 \\ 0 & otherwise \end{Bmatrix} \]
Total Force:
\[ F_{\mathrm{total}} = F_{\mathrm{spring}} + F_{\mathrm{damping}} \]
This Force component has the following properties:
The Blankevoort1991Ligament implementation is intended to be compatible with common methods in the literature for parameterizing ligament properties. The zero-load length of the ligament is parameterized by the slack_length property, which can be set directly, in meters, using set_slack_length(), or using setSlackLengthFromReferenceStrain() and setSlackLengthFromReferenceForce(). Here, reference strain and reference force are the strain or force in the ligament at a reference pose (state). If you want to compute the strain or force of the ligament in a given pose (state), you can use the getStrain() and getForce() methods. The linear_stiffness property has units of force/strain (newton) but can be set and obtained in units of force/length (newton/meter) using setLinearStiffnessForcePerLength() and getLinearStiffnessForcePerLength().
When scaling a model (using the ScaleTool) that contains a Blankevoort1991Ligament, the slack_length property is scaled by the ratio of the entire GeometryPath length in the default model pose before and after scaling the bone geometries. This ensures that the strain in the ligament in the default pose is equivilent before and after scaling. Thus, it is important to consider the order of scaling the model and setting the slack_length property for your specific application. The linear_stiffness property is not affected by scaling the model.

inlineoverridevirtual |
Create a new heap-allocated copy of the concrete object to which this Object refers.
It is up to the caller to delete the returned object when no longer needed. Every concrete object deriving from Object implements this pure virtual method automatically, via the declaration macro it invokes (e.g., OpenSim_DECLARE_CONCRETE_OBJECT()). Note that the concrete class overrides modify the return type to be a pointer to the concrete object; that still overrides the base class method because the return type is covariant with (that is, derives from) Object.
Implements OpenSim::Force.

This returns "Blankevoort1991Ligament"
See getConcreteClassName() if you want the class name of the underlying concrete object instead.
|
inlineoverridevirtual |
Returns the class name of the concrete Object-derived class of the actual object referenced by this Object, as a string.
This is the string that is used as the tag for this concrete object in an XML file. Every concrete class derived from Object automatically overrides this method via the declaration macro it uses. See getClassName() to get the class name of the referencing (possibly abstract) class rather than the concrete object.
Implements OpenSim::Force.

For use in MATLAB and Python to access the concrete class.
Example: cObj = Blankevoort1991Ligament.safeDownCast(obj)
. This is equivalent to dynamic_cast<Blankevoort1991Ligament*>(obj)
in C++.
