Abstract: The paper presents an overview of the bond graph models of advanced automotive
transmission and driveline systems. This includes one-mode and two-mode series-parallel hybrid electric
vehicle transmissions, a continuous variable transmission, active-limited slip and torque vectoring
differentials in 2WD and 4WD configurations, and electromechanical actuator-based wet and dry clutch
actuation systems. It is illustrated that the bond graph method can be effectively used to gain valuable
insights about the system dynamics structure and behavior.
Keywords: Transmissions, drivelines, hybrid vehicles, clutches, bond graph modeling, analysis.

transfer paths over the two clutches. Clutch F2 always

h2(2−h2)−1ω1, i.e. ω2 < 1.286 ω1 for h 2 = 1.125. Similarly,
clutch F1 always transfers the torque to W1, provided that
ωf1 > 0 ⇒ τf1 > 0, which yields ω1 < h1−1(2−h1)ω2 = 1.286 ω2
for h1 = 0.875. Based on the model in Fig. 6d, the torque
transfer is found to be (τ2 − τ1) / 2 = (τf2 − τf1) / 2. Bond graph
modeling of several other TVD configurations is presented in
(Deur et al., 2008a) and (Milutinović and Deur, 2009).
Fig. 7b shows the bond graph model of a 4WD TVD vehicle,
which combines the passive front differential and a rear TVD
shown by the kinematic scheme in Fig. 7a. When operating in
the FWD+TVD configuration, the central coupling device
speed ratio is somewhat larger than one (g > 1), thus speeding
up the rear axle and allowing for the torque transfer to W1 by
engaging clutch F1 and to W2 by engaging clutch F2. In the
4WD configuration, the central coupling gear ratio is
switched to g = 1 (by appropriate clutches, not shown in Fig.
7), and both rear TVD clutches are locked (rear TVD
operates in a similar manner as a locked ALSD).
The model in Fig. 7b includes the dynamic effects of wheel
and gear inertia. The causality rules show that for the
common torque input causality the model is of fourth order,
with the state variables associated with the wheel speeds.
Similar dynamic models can be developed for the active
differentials in Fig. 6 (second-order models), and they can be
extended with halfshaft compliance effects (Hrovat et al.,
2000). These dynamic models are given, in both bond graph
and mathematical forms, in (Deur et al., 2008b) and (Deur et Fig. 7. Kinematic scheme of rear TVD (a) and bond graph
