momentum state equations for this Lagrange subsystem are given by
(9.42)
and the state equations for the q
i
must be found by inverting the generalized momentum equations,
(9.38). In some cases, these n equations are coupled and must be solved simultaneously. In the end, there
are 2n first-order state equations. In addition, the final bond graph element shown in Figure 9.42 can
be coupled to other systems to build a complex system model.
Note that in order to have the 2n equations in integral causality, efforts (forces and torques) should
be specified as causal inputs to the transforming relations. Also, this subsystem model assumes that only
holonomic constraints are applied. While this might seem restrictive, it turns out that, for many practical
cases, the physical effects that lead to nonholonomic constraints can be dealt with “outside” of the
Lagrange model, along with dissipative effects, actuators, and so on.
