✦ Synopsis

Through use of normal modes, bond graphs can be used to construct perhaps the most accurate low order models for linear distributed systems. By requiring relatively few equations, when compared to finite dtflerence and finite element models, a physically understandable model results for design and automatic control applications. These bond graph distributed models can also be directly combined with bond graph models of lumped systems or other distributed systems to yield an overall system model with all the analytical and computational advantages that bond graph modeling affords. This paper surveys the development of bond graph modeling applied to interacting lumped and distributed systems.
