The Modelling of Structural Dynamics Using Bond Graphs

Abstract

This work discusses the model of dinamic structural problems through the generalized technique of Bond Graphs. It is presented a methodoly for the graph construction when a continuous system is modeled by the
finite element method. We discuss also the facility to obtain the system graph when the structure must be considered as a dynamic
subsystem, i.e., when the continuous media is modeled by several finite elements and is a part of the whole system.
