“…In [12], an ontology for representing design objects is described along with the interactions between these objects, which is used to investigate a range of meanings of the terms 'structure', 'behaviour', and especially 'function' in engineering practice. Based on the SBF concept, an integrated TSBF model [13] has been proposed for the computer-aided conceptual design of mechanisms. The SBF model has also been viewed as a programming language and applied to the development of an interactive model construction tool named SBFAuthor [14].…”

Reuse of designers' knowledge and experience of solving problems during the engineering design process holds the key to increase efficiency of decision making in future projects. An important part of this useful knowledge and experience is the interpretation of data and information about design objects and processes as well as the generation of new information for decision-making. However, previous studies on knowledge representation models have mainly focused on developing a structure to describe the knowledge about design objects and design processes while a systematic method that can effectively integrate knowledge about design objects and knowledge about problem-solving strategies is still missing. To fill this gap, a RFBSE knowledge representation model for capturing useful design knowledge and experience for future reuse is developed and evaluated in this study. This paper describes the key elements of this model, explains the rationale of using particular elements, and discusses the evaluation of the model using an engineering design example.

“…The issue of computer-aided conceptual design has been explored in many domains, such as in dynamic systems [1], mechatronics [2], mechanical designs [3,4], and structural design [5,6]. For such systems, one advantage is that concepts can be systematically or exhaustively generated, therefore some concepts that the designers would have overlooked can be reminded from the solutions generated by the systems.…”

A systematic search of solution space has been developed with the use of computational tools in the design of mechanisms in conceptual design. One of the common methods is based on combinatorial algorithms of building blocks in the database. However, the problem of using systematic search is that too many alternatives are produced to be seriously considered by the designers. This paper addresses the issue of managing a solution space using domain knowledge as its basis in both theoretical and practical manners. This is to decide on similarity and feasibility of solutions in the solution space so that unnecessary exploration of these can be avoided at the earliest moment. The ideas are based on gaining an understanding of solutions in a particular domain, design heuristics are derived, by investigating the solution's functional, spatial, and physical attributes. The proposed methods lead to manage the number of solutions to be explored by the designer.

The applicability of a wedge-joint mechanism with a curving wedge in presses for the implementation of metal forming separation processes was substantiated. The paper states the fact, that the wedge-joint mechanism graph of the deformation force change is the closest to the technological typical graph of the force change during separation. At the same time, the wedge-joint mechanism with a curving wedge has a lower height of the parts in comparison with the traditional crank mechanisms, which provides less elastic deformation and press dynamics. The use of the additional wedge mechanism in a press with the wedge-joint mechanism with a curving wedge to ensure the approximation motion is proved. This makes it possible to reduce the energy consumption for elastic deformation and further reduce the dynamic force. The mathematical models of the wedge-joint mechanism with a curving wedge, presented in the form of a two-slide link mechanism, were developed, allowing to perform its structural, kinematic and dynamic analysis. Based on the analysis of the proposed mathematical models, dependencies were identified and a procedure for calculating the geometric, kinematic and power parameters of wedge-joint mechanisms with a curving wedge for separation processes was developed. Comparison of the kinematic and dynamic analyzes results carried out by analytical and graphic-analytical methods confirms the reliability of estimates, since their discrepancy is not more than 2.5%. Experimental studies have confirmed the adequacy of mathematical models. The error between the calculated and measured values of the forces on the slide does not exceed 10%.
