An approach to the selection of mechanism types in computer-aided conceptual design

Abstract: The selection of mechanism type is one of the important aspects in conceptual design of machine products. The paper applies the set theory for representing the attribute items of kinematic function to reflect the kinematic state and the function quality to reflect overall performances of the function unit for some complex design task. It gives a set-theory-based mode for the selection of mechanism types, in which precise reasoning by computer is combined with fuzzy appraisement by human. By precise reasoning a… Show more

“…In cases where the underlying rules that govern a design are well known, conventional expert systems are useful means for capturing and re-using knowledge [13]. Tang [14] proposed a set theory approach to select mechanism type in computer-aided conceptual design. The approach comprised two steps which are precise reasoning on kinematic function and fuzzy appreciation on function quality of mechanisms.…”
