In this paper, a complex multiphysics system is modeled using two different energy-based graphical techniques: Bond Graph and Energetic Macroscopic Representation. These formalisms can be used together to analyze, model and control a system. The BG is used to support physical, lumped-parameter modeling and analysis processes, and then EMR is used to facilitate definition of a control structure through inversion-based methodology. This complementarity between both of these tools is set out through a helicopter flight control subsystem.

A lumped-parameter mathematical model of an automotive magnetorheological (MR) fluid fan clutch was developed. This model is able to describe the average fluid temperature, average clutch temperature, and output fan speed as a function of time, input current, and fluid composition. The model also reproduces numerous features of fan operation observed experimentally and revealed a mechanism for some observed cases of hysteresis. However, it fails to capture certain other features which lead us to conclude that phenomena which are not included in the model, e.g., sedimentation and re-suspension, are important to the clutch behavior. In addition, the results indicate that certain physical properties need to be measured over a larger temperature range in order for the model to better predict the clutch behavior.

Abstract This work considers the problem of modeling visco-elastically coupled rigid bodies, with application to modeling and computer simulation of spatial, flexural mechanisms. A method of modeling visco-elastic coupling based on Clifford’s biquaternions (dual quaternions) is presented. The potential utility of the method is demonstrated by simulating the behavior of a complex spatial, flexural mechanism.
