Detailed Description

Contains information about a single material.

Steel, wood, and iron are examples of materials. This class allows you to create custom materials, or use built-in materials. The list of built-in materials can be found in the MaterialType enum.

This class will replace the MaterialDensity class found in the Gazebo Common library, which was at version 1 at the time of this writing.

How to create a wood material:

Material mat(MaterialType::WOOD);
std::cout << "The density of " << mat.Name() << " is "
<< mat.Density() << std::endl;

How to create a custom material:

Material mat;
mat.SetDensity(12.23);
mat.SetName("my_material");
std::cout << "The density of " << mat.Name() is "
<< mat.Density() << std::endl;

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Material() [1/4]

Material ( )

Constructor.

◆ Material() [2/4]

Material ( const MaterialType  _type)
explicit

Construct a material based on a type.

Parameters
[in]_typeBuilt-in type to create.

◆ Material() [3/4]

Material ( const std::string &  _typename)
explicit

Construct a material based on a type name.

Parameters
[in]_typenameName of the built-in type to create. String names are listed in the MaterialType documentation.

◆ Material() [4/4]

Material ( const double  _density)
explicit

Construct a material based on a density value.

Parameters
[in]_densityMaterial density.

Member Function Documentation

◆ Density()

double Density ( ) const

Get the density value of the material in kg/m^3.

Returns
The density of this material in kg/m^3.

Referenced by MassMatrix3< T >::SetFromBox(), MassMatrix3< T >::SetFromConeZ(), MassMatrix3< T >::SetFromCylinderZ(), and MassMatrix3< T >::SetFromSphere().

◆ Name()

std::string Name ( ) const

Get the name of the material. This will match the enum type names used in MaterialType, but in lowercase, if a built-in material is used.

Returns
The material's name.
See also
void SetName(const std::string &_name)

◆ operator!=()

bool operator!= ( const Material &  _material) const

Inequality operator. This compares type and density values.

Parameters
[in]_materialMaterial to evaluate this object against.
Returns
True if this material is not equal to the given _material.

◆ operator==()

bool operator== ( const Material &  _material) const

Equality operator. This compares type and density values.

Parameters
[in]_materialMaterial to evaluate this object against.
Returns
True if this material is equal to the given _material.

◆ Predefined()

static const std::map<MaterialType, Material>& Predefined ( )
static

Get all the built-in materials.

Returns
A map of all the materials. The map's key is material type and the map's value is the material object.

◆ SetDensity()

void SetDensity ( const double  _density)

Set the density value of the material in kg/m^3.

Parameters
[in]_densityThe density of this material in kg/m^3.

Referenced by OrientedBox< T >::SetDensityFromMass().

◆ SetName()

void SetName ( const std::string &  _name)

Set the name of the material.

Parameters
[in]_nameThe material's name.
See also
std::string Name() const

◆ SetToNearestDensity()

void SetToNearestDensity ( const double  _value,
const double  _epsilon = std::numeric_limits< double >::max() 
)

Set this Material to the built-in Material with the nearest density value within _epsilon. If a built-in material could not be found, then this Material is not changed.

Parameters
[in]_valueDensity value of entry to match.
[in]_epsilonAllowable range of difference between _value, and a material's density.

◆ SetType()

void SetType ( const MaterialType  _type)

Set the material's type. This will only set the type value. Other properties, such as density, will not be changed.

Parameters
[in]_typeThe material's type.

◆ Type()

MaterialType Type ( ) const

Get the material's type.

Returns
The material's type.
