Port-based approach of complex distributed-parameter system models for analysis and simulation (PACDAS project, STW-TWI.6012)

Standard PDE's meant for isolated system: energy-flow zero boundary conditions

Linear systems have limited interaction between boundary control and internal dynamics

Minimal model: direct response to changing boundary conditions

Dynamical principles for numerical approaches (stable points, strain-dependent frequencies)
