Abstract:

Three are the most important features that make of the bond graph methodology a powerful technique for graphical and mathematical modeling of physical systems: the representation of the power flow among components which stand for the basic energy phenomena in physics, the exhibition of the interconnection structure coupling these components, and the capture of the computational causality relating the system variables. Indeed, representing the energy exchange among components through power ports helps constructing modular models through coupling –a so-called object-oriented modeling approach–, procedure

pretty much similar to the real construction of complex engineering systems. This modularity is supported by the structure of components and/or subsystem interconnection, which is explicitly displayed in the finished graphical model. Moreover, the assignment of computational causal relationships to the system variables allows for the derivation of mathematical models of the system, which are both of theoretical value as well as of practical interest to the aims of simulation of the system behavior.
