Section 2: Bond Graph Fundamentals
Displacement and momentum are familiar concepts for mechanical systems All types of systems have analogous energy variables We''ll see that these quantities are useful for describing energy storage

This example illustrates that the effect of gravity forces can be “ignored” when we define the reference positions for displacements to be the static equilibrium positions of the system under gravity fields.
TRANSLATIONAL MECHANICAL SYSTEMS
A translational spring is a mechanical element that can be deformed by an external force such that the deformation is directly proportional to the force applied to it.
Energy and Power in Rotating Mechanical Systems
This section discusses energy and power in rotating mechanical systems. It is assumed you already know about energy and power in translating mechanical systems. Accordingly, this page is rather
Lecture 1: Modeling of Translational Mechanical Systems
The objective of this lecture is to review the basic building blocks of lumped parameter translational mechanical systems and to build the foundations that will enable you to model more complex

Flywheel energy storage (FES) works by spinning a rotor (flywheel) and maintaining the energy in the system as rotational energy. When energy is extracted from the system, the flywheel''s rotational speed is reduced as a consequence of the principle of conservation of energy; adding energy to the system correspondingly results in an increase in the speed of the flywheel. While some systems use low mass/high spee
Mechanical Energy Storage
Mechanical energy storage (MESS) refers to a system that allows for the flexible conversion and storage of energy from various sources, enabling the stored energy to be utilized for mechanical work.
