A Modelica Library for MultiBond Graphs and its Application
in 3D-Mechanics
Abstract
Bond graphs have established themselves as a reliable tool for modeling
physical systems. Multi-bonds are a bond-graphic extension that provides a general approach to modeling all kinds of multi-dimensional
processes in continuous physical systems. This MS thesis presents a
Modelica library for modeling multi-bond graphs and their application
to three-dimensional mechanical systems. A comprehensive set of
bond-graphic models for ideal mechanical components is provided that
enables a fully object-oriented modeling of mechanical systems. The
wrapping of the bond-graphic models and their representation by
meaningful icons gives the mechanical models an intuitive appeal and
makes them easy to use. The resulting mechanical systems can be
efficiently simulated. Additionally, the continuous mechanical
models were extended to hybrid models that allow discrete changes to be
modeled that occur in mechanical system as a result of hard impacts.
