The identification of subsystems and/or components that is related to a given eigenvalue of the overall system is a challenging and important topic. The use of special structure of the system matrices obtained busing bond graphs can result in identifying subsystems and/or components that affect a given eigenvalue of an overall system. This paper, by making use of a set of theorems and definitions proposes an efficient procedure for this purpose. The basic procedure is based upon the calculation of sensitivity of eigenvalues. The so-called "effect" matrices are produced that indicates the relative importance of physical parameters on a selected eigenvalue. In addition to the relative importance, the effect matrix is used for an efficient physical model reduction procedure. Furthermore, reasons of different dynamic behavior of a system can be explained. Use of effect matrices also improves the physical model reduction method based on decomposition procedures. Three examples are given to illustrate the approach and its consequences.
