Parameter Sensitivity Models of Bond Graph Elements

1 Parameter Sensitivity Models of Bond Graph Elements 

Consider a 1-port resistor that may be given by a nonlinear constitutive relation 

It is assumed that all parameters are uncorrelated. Partial differentiation with respect to a parameter 0 then yields 

The sensitivity component bond graph model in Fig. 6.16 reduces to a 1-port resistor if 0 Or. 

Similarly, a sensitivity component bond graph model is obtained for a nonlinear 1-port C storage element in derivative causality given by the constitutive relation
