A Multi-Scale Data Fusion-Based Method for Modular Decomposition

Abstract:

Facing the module division for the product life cycle, this paper presents a hierarchical module decomposition based on the multi-scale data fusion, use the hypergraph and multi-scale theory to divide modules into classification, and realize hierarchical expression of modules. First use the process model of modular design process established by associated hypergraph, which provide the mapping network basis for user needs, then reference the hypergraph on the formal description of the parts information to establish the parts associated matrix, and achieve primary modules division through calculation of parts relevance. Secondly reference multi-scale data fusion technology to map associated matrix from components to modules layer based on primary module structure, and establish the primary modules associated matrix, then complete the second grade modular division. Finally, the case analysis shows the scientific and practical of the method.
