✦ Synopsis

Bond

graphs are used to construct finite mode representations of inherently distributed systems. These systems are, perhaps, only part of an overall dynamic system. The "causal" ~~~or~arion provided by the bond graph permits the deri#at~on of an automarable algorithm which produces the state equations as well as all output variables associated with the finite modes. The procedure requires only the a priori knowledge of modal masses, frequencies, and associated mode shapes for general bounda~ conditions of the disfributed parts of the system. Thus, the algorithm is applicable to any mu~t~dimensional distributed system which is representable by normal modes. Location I k ktl k+I FIG. 2.
