% Finite Element Model
% From the Finite Element Model, the stiffness and stroke of the flexible joint have been computed and summarized in Tables ref:tab:test_joints_axial_shear_prop and ref:tab:test_joints_bending_torsion_prop.
%% Stiffness

ks = 13e6; % Shear Stiffness [N/m]
kb = 5; % Bending Stiffness [Nm/rad]

%% Maximum force
Fa = 469; % Axial Force before yield [N]
Fs = 242; % Shear Force before yield [N]

Xt = Ft/kt; % Torsional Stroke before yield [rad]
% Setup
% The setup is schematically represented in Figure ref:fig:test_joints_bench_side_bis.
% The force is applied on top of the flexible joint with a distance $h$ with the joint's center.
% The displacement of the flexible joint is also measured at the same height.
% The height between the joint's center and the force application point is:
h = 25e-3; % Height [m]
% Estimation error due to force sensor compression
% The measured displacement is not done directly at the joint's location.
% The force sensor compression will then induce an error on the joint's stiffness.
% The force sensor stiffness $k_F$ is estimated to be around:
kF = 50/0.05e-3; % [N/m]
sprintf('k_F = %.1e [N/m]', kF)
% Estimation error due to height estimation error
% Let's consider an error in the estimation of the height from the application of the force to the joint's center:
% \begin{equation}
% h_{\text{est}} = h (1 + \epsilon)
% \end{equation}
% The computed bending stiffness will be:
% \begin{equation}
% k_\text{est} \approx h_{\text{est}}^2 \frac{F_x}{d_x}
% \end{equation}
% And the stiffness estimation error is:
% \begin{equation}
% \frac{k_{\text{est}}}{k_{R_y}} = (1 + \epsilon)^2
% \end{equation}
h_err = 0.2e-3; % Height estimation error [m]
