Bondgraphs are a well-established technique for modeling of complex engineering systems. The subject of this book is an integrated modeling and simulation of mechatronics systems in a visual computer environment. The modeling is based on system top-down and bottom-up approach. The mathematical mo- dels are generated in a form of differential-algebraic equa- tions and solved using numerical and symbolic algebra me- thods. The integrated approach developed is applied to me- chanical, electrical and control systems, multibody dyna- mics, and continuous systems. The book contains a powerful computer simulation package on the accompanying CD-ROM.
Bondgraphs are a well-established technique for the modelling of complex engineering systems. The subject of this book is an integrated modelling and simulation of mechatronics systems in a visual computer environment. The modelling is based on system top-down and bottom-up approach. The mathematical models are generated in a form of differential-algebraic equations and solved using numerical and symbolic algebra methods. The authors carefully explain a systematic procedure for developing the models using simple visual commands and construct a bondgraph at every level of decomposition. The integrated approach they develop is applied to mechanical, electrical and control systems, multibody dynamics, and continuous systems. The book contains a powerful computer simulation package on the accompanying CD-ROM. The BondSim package supports top-down and bottom-up model development using component libraries.
Computer-aided practical approach to the design of mechatronic systems Contains a working version of the powerful simulation software BONDSIM on CD-ROM The bondgraph method as well as the use of the software are explained by examples of typical mechatronic systems
