Kinetic Energy

 

Kinetic energy is defined as the following for a lumped mass.

The kinetic energy of an arbitrary RFlex P node can be calculated in the same way.

Where,

 

The theoretical Kinetic Energy for RFlex body is calculated with the summation of the energy of each node.

 

If ignoring the RFlex rigid motion, then the Kinetic Energy is calculated with following equation. The final formula is represented by Modal Velocity.
