Study on Parameter Transfer Structure of Generalized Modular Based Graph Theory

Abstract:

For the purpose of reducing product structure levels and shorting transfer chain of parameter, in this paper the product structure levels are expressed with generalized modular. The concept of directed graph of parameter connection structure for generalized modular is proposed with the use of directed graph theory, generalized modular, sub-modular and part represented by vertex, the driven relations of parameter connection represented by directed edge, and the properties of directed graph of parameter connection structure for generalized modular are gained. The directed graph of parameter connection structure for generalized modular is divided into a number of sub-graphs according to the relations of product-level modular structure. And the horizontal edges of sub-graphs among vertexes are decomposed. Therefore, a standardized relation of parameter connection structure is established by given the decomposition algorithm and the mathematical description of parameters connection that are provide the theoretical basis for parameters connection analysis of variant design.
