The Dynamic Equations of a Mechanical System Using the Bond-Graph Method and the Kinetic Energy

Abstract

Abstract Based on the bond-graph model of a system dynamics, the differential equations that represent the mathematical model can be determined. In case of a system with storing energy elements in derivative causality and with more degrees of freedom, the computational effort is an important one. The present work proposes an easier method for finding the differential equations, based on the derivative of kinetic energy.
