Introduction to Bond Graphs and Their Applications (Pergamon international library of Science, technology, engineering and social studies)

Introduction to Bond Graphs and their Applications discusses the fundamental concepts of bond graphs, along with its application in representing simple and complex engineering systems from different engineering disciplines. The text first details the various kinds of illustrations, such as diagrams, models, and graphs, and then proceeds to covering fundamentals of bond graphs. The book then covers the application in the context of mechanical engineering and design. The next chapter tackles the fluid mechanical applications. Chapter 5 talks about electronics and electromechanical power conversion, while Chapter 6 deals with thermal and thermodynamics system. Next, the selection covers the simulation and electronic data processing through the use of ENPORT program. The book will be of great use to researchers and practitioners of various engineering disciplines.
