"""The forthcoming book, An Introduction to Bond Graph Modeling with Applications by J. A. Tenreiro Machado and Vitor M. R. Cunha is an excellent university textbook on the bond graph modelling presenting a collection of exercises on dynamical systems, modeling, and control for university students. The book provides a clear pedagogical framework on bond graph modelling, giving in-depth theoretical background coupled with practical, hands-on instructions for mathematical modeling of various dynamical systems, such as hydraulic systems, thermal systems, and electrical systems. We recommend the book for students and researchers who work in applied mathematics, physics, and engineering."" – Dimitri Volchenkov, Texas Tech University and author of Grammar Of Complexity: From Mathematics To A Sustainable World ""The book by Machado and Cunha is really helpful and insightful in the application of the bond graph method for describing dynamical systems. An Introduction to Bond Graph Modeling with Applications takes the reader step by step in a collection of selected examples and exercises. Therefore, the work is an invaluable resource for students and researchers starting work with this fascinating tool. This book will definitely help them in detail understanding of the subject very deeply and will be useful to guide their research."" – Santanu Saha Ray, National Institute of Technology, Rourkela ""This is a very well-written book on bond graph method for discrete and low-degrees of freedom systems. The book has many interesting examples for the readers to practice. The most important part of the book is an introduction of a software platform for implementing the bond graph methods. This will make is easy for the readers to use the bond graph method to model complex dynamic systems."" – Jian-Qiao Sun, University of California, Merced and Editor-in-Chief, International Journal of Dynamics and Control ""The book presents an introduction to bond graph modelling applied to several areas of engineering comprising, electrical, mechanical, hydraulic as well as multi-domain systems. By using a modular methodology, students can easily grasp the general ideas to model dynamical systems. Furthermore, it offers a subtle notion of symmetry helpful to unify concepts, by showing the unity of the principles used, and accordingly to extend the ideas to other possible domains. The rich illustrations, the multitude of examples and exercises with solutions makes it an excellent textbook very useful for students, for learning to model and control dynamical systems applied in various engineering disciplines."" – Professor Miguel A. F. Sanjuan, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos and the co-author of Predictability of Chaotic Dynamics. A finite-time Lyapunov exponents approach ""An Introduction to Bond Graph Modeling with Applications lives up to its title as a reference that provides both theoretical background and step-by-step instructions for bond graph modeling, with exercises and problems for readers to practice. Familiarity with mathematics is presumed as chapters jump into basic mathematical models of dynamic systems, the elements of bond graph modeling, ways to assign causality to a bond graph, and much more. An Introduction to Bond Graph Modeling with Applications is an invaluable resource of mathematicians, physicists, engineers, and college library reference collections, highly recommended."" – Midwest Book Review"
