The model allows visualization of how variables are related and how the system performs.
Explain the difference between resistive causality and conductive causality in the context of Bond graphs.
Resistive causality represents the flow of effort (voltage or force) causing the flow of energy, while conductive causality represents the flow of energy causing the flow of effort.
How are junctions in the bond graphs described in terms of effort and flow transmission?
Junctions will transmit common effort and sum flow (0) or transmit common flow and sum effort (1).

In 0 junctions, what does the effort equal, and what does the flow equal
• Equality of effort: e1 = e2 = e3 = e4 • Flow sums to zero: f1 + f2 + f3 + f4 = 0

Equality of flow: f1 = f2 = f3 = f4 • Effort sums to zero: e1 + e2 + e3 + e4 = 0
In junctions, describe the notation of arrows
• + / - sign depends on direction of arrow • + means arrow pointing to port • - means arrow pointing away from port
Explain what causality means in bond graphs
• Establishes cause and effect relationships between factors of power. • The inputs are characterised by the causal stroke. • Causal stroke indicates the direction in which the effort signal is directed. • Flow directed in opposite direction to causal stroke
Explain causality for flow and how its represented
Flow is the output of system A and effort is the output of system B. This is represented by a half arrow on the top with a vertical black bar at the base of the arrow.
Explain causality for effort and how its represented
Effort is the output of system A and flow is the output of system B. This is represented by a half arrow on the top with a vertical black bar at the tip of the arrow.
Explain causality for I elements
I elements are storage elements. They Receives effort (cause) and generates flow (effect)
Explain causality for C elements
C element (storage element) Receives flow and generates effort
Explain causality for R elements
• Resistive (or dissipative) R elements can have any type of causal structure
