AbstractA unified approach to model the general CVD process, utilizing the versatility and flexibility of bond graph methods, is presented. The bond graph representations for important CVD sub-processes are derived. The application of these elements is illustrated through hypothetical examples of CVD processes. It is also shown that several different CVD processes can be handled by a single bond graph computer program.

Linear Resistance

The partial differential equation describing one-dimensional flow in a hydraulic pipeline with linear resistance can be approximated and solved numerically using different modal approaches. Modal models can be obtained either by using rational transfer functions (RTF) in the Laplace domain solution or by using separation of variables (SOV) techniques. The pipeline models have four possible input–output configurations: pressure inputs at both ends, flow rate inputs at both ends, and the two cases of mixed inputs. In this paper, modal bond graph representations for pipeline sections are reviewed, and new bond graphs are proposed for combinations of solution method and input–output configurations not yet presented in the literature. This includes bond graph representations for the two mixed input cases developed using the SOV technique, and bond graphs for the other two cases, pressure inputs or flow rate inputs, constructed on the basis of RTF solutions. Through numerical simulations of hydraulic single lines, the obtained models are compared to alternative models already established in the literature. It is shown that the modal models developed by the RTF and SOV methods have the same accuracy when the same number of modes is used. For both of these approaches, correction methods to maintain a high accuracy when truncating high-order modes are described, and also adapted to the bond graph form. Finally, simulation results for various line configurations are illustrated.

Modal Approximation

Modal bond graph representations of the dissipative model of rigid, cylindrical fluid transmission lines with laminar flow are developed. Modal approximation techniques are used for both hydraulic and pneumatic lines. The modeling and simulation procedures for fluid networks coupled with nonlinear and dynamic systems are greatly facilitated using bond graphs. The physical interpretation of the model is preserved in this approach. Simulation results for hydraulic single lines are compared with results derived by the quasi-method of characteristics. The simulation results for fluid networds for various line and termination configurations are illustrated.

Oriented Object

The lack of arbitrariness in the choice of bond graph sign conventions is established. It is shown that an unoriented bond graph may have no unique meaning and that with certain choices of orientation a bond graph may not correspond to any lumped parameter system constructed from the same set of elements. Network interpretations of these two facts are given. Defining a bond graph as an oriented object leads to the consideration of equivalence classes of oriented bond graphs which represent the same system. It is also shown that only changes in the orientation of bonds connecting 0-junctions and 1-junctions can lead to changes in the observable properties of a bond graph model.

AbstractLike all physical systems, biological systems are constrained by the laws of physics. However, mathematical models of biochemistry frequently neglect the conservation of energy, leading to unrealistic behaviour. Energy-based models that are consistent with conservation of mass, charge and energy have the potential to aid the understanding of complex interactions between biological components, and are becoming easier to develop with recent advances in experimental measurements and databases. In this paper, we motivate the use of bond graphs (a modelling tool from engineering) for energy-based modelling and introduce, BondGraphTools, a Python library for constructing and analysing bond graph models. We use examples from biochemistry to illustrate how BondGraphTools can be used to automate model construction in systems biology while maintaining consistency with the laws of physics.

We introduce, and provide examples of, the application of the bond graph formalism to explicitly represent biophysical processes between and within modular biological compartments in ApiNATOMY. In particular, we focus on modelling scenarios from acid–base physiology to link distinct process modalities as bond graphs over an ApiNATOMY circuit of multiscale compartments. The embedding of bond graphs onto ApiNATOMY compartments provides a semantically and mathematically explicit basis for the coherent representation, integration and visualisation of multiscale physiology processes together with the compartmental topology of those biological structures that convey these processes.

Bond Graph Modeling

Abstract Mechatronic system design differs from design of single-domain systems, such as electronic circuits, mechanisms, and fluid power systems, in part because of the need to integrate the several distinct domain characteristics in predicting system behavior. The goal of our work is to develop an automated procedure that can explore mechatronic design space in a topologically open-ended manner, yet still find appropriate configurations efficiently enough to be useful. Our approach combines bond graphs for model representation with genetic programming for generating suitable design candidates as a means of exploring the design space. Bond graphs allow us to capture the common energy behavior underlying the several physical domains of mechatronic systems in a uniform notation. Genetic programming is an effective way to generate design candidates in an open-ended, but statistically structured, manner. Our initial goal is to identify the key issues in merging the bond graph modeling tool with genetic programming for searching. The first design problem we chose is that of finding a model that has a specified set of eigenvalues. The problem can be studied using a restricted set of bond graph elements to represent suitable topologies. We present the initial results of our studies and identify key issues in advancing the approach toward becoming an effective and efficient open-ended design tool for mechatronic systems.

Abstract The bond graph method provides a generic and simple way to compute differential equations and dynamic responses for complex mechatronic systems. This paper will illustrate the process of automatically generating bond graphs from 3D CAD assemblies of gear-trains. Using appropriate CAD application programming interfaces (APIs), information on parts and mates within an existing assembly is extracted. The extracted information is stored as an identity graph, which also stores all geometry and mass related information of every part. Grammar rules are then used to transform the identity graph to a system graph, which is then converted to bond graph using an existing bond graph generation program. The paper will discuss the process, challenges and planned future work.

Abstract Models of a small-scale water rocket are developed as an example of open system modeling by both the bond graph approach and a more classical method. One goal of the development is to determine the benefits of the bond graph approach into affording insight into the system dynamics. Both modeling approaches yield equivalent differential equations as they should, while the bond graph approach yields significantly more insight into the system dynamics. If a modeling goal is to simply find the system equations and predict behavior, the classical approach may be more expeditious. If insight and ease of model modification are desired, the bond graph technique is probably the better choice. But then you have to learn it!

Mathematical models of cardiac action potentials have become increasingly important in the study of heart disease and pharmacology, but concerns linger over their robustness during long periods of simulation, in particular due to issues such as model drift and non-unique steady states. Previous studies have linked these to violation of conservation laws, but only explored those issues with respect to charge conservation in specific models. Here, we propose a general and systematic method of identifying conservation laws hidden in models of cardiac electrophysiology by using bond graphs, and develop a bond graph model of the cardiac action potential to study long-term behaviour. Bond graphs provide an explicit energy-based framework for modelling physical systems, which makes them well suited for examining conservation within electrophysiological models. We find that the charge conservation laws derived in previous studies are examples of the more general concept of a ‘conserved moiety’. Conserved moieties explain model drift and non-unique steady states, generalizing the results from previous studies. The bond graph approach provides a rigorous method to check for drift and non-unique steady states in a wide range of cardiac action potential models, and can be extended to examine behaviours of other excitable systems.
