Bond Graph Modelling of Engineering Systems: Theory, Applications and Software Support 2011 edition

Marc Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index. Jacket Description/Back: "Bond Graph Modelling of Engineering Systems: Theory, Applications and Software Support" addresses readers to consider the potential and the state-of-the-art of bond graph modeling of engineering systems with respect to theory, applications and software support. Bond graph modelling is a physical modelling methodology based on first principles that is particularly suited for modelling multidisciplinary or mechatronic systems. This book covers theoretical issues and methodology topics that have been subject of ongoing research during past years, presents new promising applications such as the bond graph modeling of fuel cells and illustrates how bond graph modeling and simulation of mechatronic systems can be supported by software. This up-to-date comprehensive presentation of various topics has been made possible by the cooperation of a group of authors who are experts in various fields and share the bond graph way of thinking.
