Abstract: The bond graph method is used to model kinematics and dynamics of various one-mode and two-mode series-parallel configurations of Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) transmissions. The bond graph method is also used to analyse the power flow of the considered transmissions in electric variator and full-hybrid operating modes. The analysis is illustrated by numerical static curves related to the maximum transmission output torque for a wide range of vehicle velocities.

Keywords: bond graph modelling; HEVs; hybrid electric vehicles; powertrain; power flow analysis; kinematics; dynamics; kinematic modelling; dynamic modelling; HEV transmissions; vehicle speeds; series-parallel transmissions.
