Abstract
Concepts of mechatronics are applicable to complex and multi-domain dynamic systems. Proper modeling of such systems can benefit analysis, simulation, design and control of these systems. The linear-graph (LG) approach is particularly suitable in mechatronic modeling because it presents a unified way to represent different domains and also provides a direct correspondence to the topology of the physical components of a system. This paper presents some useful concepts of graph trees and generalized equivalent circuits as applied to LGs, which can facilitate modeling of mechatronic systems. The significance and application of the presented paradigms of modeling are indicated using examples. These paradigms have been integrated into both an undergraduate course and a postgraduate course on the modeling of dynamic systems. Students have appreciated this integrated and systematic approach to modeling of multi-domain (mechatronic) systems.
