std::vector< double > DiscreteSystemForceCalculator::CalculateFtAndFn	(	unsigned	index,
		double	theta
	)			`[private]`

Given a node index and angle of intersecting line in the range (-pi,pi], returns the tangential and normal forces.

Parameters:

	index	the node index
	theta	the angle of intersection

Returns:: the vector of tangential and normal forces.

std::vector< double > DiscreteSystemForceCalculator::GetExtremalAngles	(	unsigned	index,
		std::vector< double >	samplingAngles
	)			`[private]`

Given a vector of sampling angles in the range (-pi,pi], returns a vector of extremal angles, i.e. angles at which local extrema of the normal force occur, again in the range (-pi,pi].

Parameters:

	index	the node index
	samplingAngles	the vector of sampling angles

Returns:: the vector of extremal angles.

double DiscreteSystemForceCalculator::GetLocalExtremum	(	unsigned	index,
		double	angle1,
		double	angle2
	)			`[private]`

Given a node index and two sampling angles, finds the location of the root of the tangential force in the interval between the two angles. There is no guarantee that this will lie in (-pi,pi].

Parameters:

	index	the node index
	angle1	the first sampling angle
	angle2	the second sampling angle

Returns:: the local extremum.

std::vector< double > DiscreteSystemForceCalculator::GetSamplingAngles ( unsigned index ) [private]

Given a node index, returns a vector of sampling angles in the range (-pi,pi] that can be used by GetExtremalAngles() to find the locations of local extrema of the normal force.

Parameters:
