Bond graphs represent the structure and functionality of mechatronic systems from a power flow perspective. Unfortunately, presentations of bond graphs are replete with ambiguity, significantly impeding understanding. A formalisation of the essentials of bond graphs is given, together with a formalisation of bond graph transformation, which can directly express abstraction and refinement of bond graphs.
