Assembly Model Based on Dynamic Transition Graph for Satellite General Assembly Process Planning

Article Preview

Abstract:

Beginning with the disassembly of the semi-finished modules, the general assembly process of satellites is quite different from that of other mechanical products. This kind of disassembly-reassembly process cannot be solved by the widely used cut-set theory that only deals with linear problems, thus an approach called Dynamic Transition Graph (DTG) is proposed to solve this nonlinear assembly sequence planning problem. By analyzing and verifying possible assembly statuses hierarchically through matrix operations, a DTG is produced on the basis of Liaison Graph, where the DTG includes all the geometric feasible assembly sequences for the general assembly of satellite. Finally, the effectiveness of this method is verified by an example.
