Dissertation: Transient analysis of certain non-linear systems in hydroelectric plants.
Inventor of the Bond Graph

In 1977, Paynter was elected to the National Academy of Engineering, one of the highest professional distinctions accorded to an engineer. He held six patents on tension-actuator based robotics technology and was known for his contributions to the analysis, design and control of complex multimedia systems and for developing the Bond graph modeling language. Bond graphs are a unique way of describing dynamic models.
