Abstract: Design resources reuse is very important to the rapid response design. In this paper, a design resources reusable model based on product family is established to meet the rapid response design. Firstly, parameters transmission structure of product family is constructed based on Generic Bill of Materials (GBOM) and product master model, and then the reused design resource library is established by the instantiation to master model. Finally product configuration management and variant design is realized on the basis of the reused design resource library. In the developing process of the rapid response design system of machine tool component, the Linear Motion (LM) rolling guide variant design subsystem is developed by the application of the above methods to realize the variant design and configuration management of LM rolling guide. The result shows that the method can provide a reliable guarantee for establishment and effective management of corporate design resource base.

Abstract: In order to solve the retrieval problem of design example in rapid response design, similarity computation model among design examples is given, computation of attribute weight of design example is done based on the method of uneven weight distance coefficient, computation of similarity between product structure model that meet the requirement of customers and design examples existed is done by the method of combination weight. This method has been applied in rolling guide conceptual design based on example inference, the result indicated that the weight computational method proposed is simple and the reliability is good, it can solve the intelligent retrieval problem of design examples in rapid response design.

Abstract: Product information technology has been widely applied in manufacturing field, improved the rapid response ability of enterprises to the market demands, and to some extent enhanced the competitiveness of enterprise products. However, product data information generated by different information system has the characteristics of diversification and differentiation. The integration and management of these product heterogeneous data has become the bottleneck which restricts the development of enterprise information technology. Based on XML, this paper researches the integration and management of heterogeneous data, expounds integration structure of heterogeneous data, introduces integration process and schema mapping of heterogeneous data, and realizes schema translation of heterogeneous data. Finally, through the PLM XML schema which is provided by the product life-cycle management software, this paper verifies the integrated management of relational heterogeneous data on Teamcenter.

Abstract: Based on the analysis of current state of aeroengine fault diagnosis, this paper proposes the design and implementation of a web-based fuzzy expert system called WFESAFD, which is focused on the monitoring and fuzzy fault diagnosis of aeroengine. The system architecture and its components, such as web interface layer, monitor, knowledge acquisition and management, integrated data base, reasoning mechanism and knowledge base are illustrated. The detail process of system implementation and practical applications of WFESAFD are presented to illustrate and prove the proposed system’s applicability. Running results show the feasibility and reliability of the framework, which will be helpful to integrate the aeroengine diagnosis knowledge, improve the diagnosis efficiency and decrease the aeroengine diagnosis cost remarkably.

Abstract: It is the key step to construct the fuzzy complementary judgment matrix and rank the weighting of the judgment matrix when we apply the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP). In this paper, a method of rank the weighting which is based on the idea of additive consistent fuzzy complementary judgment matrix and Euclidean space distance, namely the Euclidean space distance weighting ranking method (EDWM) is recommended. In the end of this paper, a case is given to verify the feasibility and accuracy of this method.

Abstract: In order to meet the requirement of mass customization and rapid response design, a hierarchical parameterized modeling method of parts and components library is proposed. The library of parts and components is building up with NX/Open development tools based on the three-dimensional design software platform. According to this method, the master model technique is integrated with top-down modeling method to facilitate the parameterized modeling and variant design of product family. The parameterized modeling process is also demonstrated in details in this paper. As an example, a tools management system for NC machine tools rapid design is developed. It shows hierarchical parameterized modeling method is a practical and effective method of constructing the product resources library.
