What is bond graphs

• Bond graphs are Introductory example (RLC circuit-electrical)
– originated by H.M. Paynter (1959) Electrical system

– a domain-independent graphical description of dynamic Power variables:

behavior of physical systems •Electrical voltage (U)
•Electrical current (i)
– system models will be constructed using a uniform
P = ui
Power in the system:
notations for all types of physical system based on
energy flow
u R = iR
– A powerful tool for modeling engineering systems, especially
1
Constitutive law
u c = ∫ idt
when different physical domains are involved c
– A form of object-oriented physical system modeling di 1
u L = L or i L = ∫ udt
dt L
