Controllability and observability of LTV systems -bond graph approach-

Abstract

In this paper, a new methodology is proposed to determinate the controllability and the observability matrices of linear time varying systems modeled by bond graph. As the bond graph model can be viewed as a state space representation and as a module (algebraic approach), the determination of controllability and observability matrices is presented with the graphical approach. The equivalence between the two approaches (Graphic, Mathematical) is proposed and a graphical methodology is pointed out directly on the bond graph representation.
