Abstract

This paper presents an approach to computational synthesis of dynamic systems. The foundation of the approach is a function vocabulary for energy-transforming systems that is based on the modelling concepts of bond graphs. The function vocabulary extends those described in the literature by including functions prevalent in dynamic systems.

A computational synthesis procedure for dynamic systems, which is based on the developed function vocabulary and “classical” design methodology, and its implementation in a computer program is outlined. The program can also simulate the dynamic behaviour of a proposed design concept. The application of the procedure is demonstrated on an accelerometer design problem.
