Interconnection of Components
Physical Variables and Power Bonds [8]
Causality
Causality refers to the inputoutput relationship between
variables on a power bond, and it depends on the systems
connected to each end of a bond.

A system boundary
Identifies ports through which power and signal can pass.
To make a judgement on the causality at each port.
define specific elements as sources of effort or flow that can be
attached at the boundary of a system of interest.
Dissipative Effects in Mechanical
Systems
Mechanical systems will dissipate energy due to friction in sliding contacts,
dampers (passive or active), and through interaction with different energy
domains (e.g., fluid loading, eddy current damping).
= .
= = .
When the effort-flow relationship is linear, the proportionality constant
is a resistance, and in mechanical systems these quantities are typically
referred to as damping constants.

Impedance Relationships
An impedance function, Z, is a ratio of effort to flow
variables at a given system port of a physical device, and
the most common application is for linear systems where Z
= Z(s), where s is the complex frequency variable.
