Abstract: The standard means of imposing causality to extract state equations for bond graph models of physical systems can be inconvenient when algebraic loops and derivative causality in combination ...

Abstract: The unification that bond graph methods bring to the representation of mechanical, electrical, magnetic, and chemical kinetic systems is not completely achieved for fluid flow systems except in ...

Abstract: The idea that the order of a given model of a physical system is equal to the number of independent energy storage elements is often correct if all types of dependence are taken into ...

Abstract: Bond graphs have been shown to be useful in the modeling of a wide variety of physical dynamic systems, but open systems in which energy is transported across boundaries with mass flow have ...

Abstract: Bond graphs aid in the creation of lumped parameter models for a wide variety of physical and biological systems but have proved less useful when it is desired to use control volume methods ...

Abstract: Given mathematical models of components of a system, the equations for the system can be formulated in a number of distinct ways. Bond graphs provide a convenient explicit way to study the ...

Abstract: Stick-slip friction is present to some degree in almost all actuators and mechanisms and is often responsible for performance limitations. Simulation of stick-slip friction is difficult because ...

Abstract: It is generally agreed that vehicle suspensions should isolate the body from roadway unevenness inputs but it is less clear on which other functions are most important. Some studies focus on ...
