Knowledge Based Design

Abstract Research has been conducted in the areas of design methodology, automation and use of knowledge based systems as a tool to improve the design efficiency, accuracy and consistency for mechanical power transmissions. The research capitalized on previous work related to component level design synthesis and analysis. The next logical step in the research progression was to look into system development and integration of design synthesis and analysis tools. Deliverables from this research include new knowledge acquisition techniques, a more complete model of design information flow and development and a knowledge based design assistant system, capable of integrating multiple discrete and disparate design tools.

Knowledge Based Design

In designing modern friction materials that are normally made of composite materials, a more systematical approach is needed in order to select the most appropriate composition of raw materials for specific applications. Here, knowledge-based design methodology has been formulated for composite brake design application, that consists of: design database generation from experiments, metamodelling, and global optimization processes. The objective function has incorporated, among others, the uncertainties introduced in the experimentally-obtained design database, so that providing the optmization results with the information of variation. The application of the methodology has been demonstrated to two cases, i.e. train brake and motorcycle brake pad, with the optimization results close to the targetted values and the information of output variation, as intended.

Purpose The mass electronics sector is one of the most critical sources of waste, in terms of volume and content with dangerous effects on the environment. The purpose of this study is to provide an automated and accurate dismantling system that can improve the outcome of recycling. Design/methodology/approach Following a short introduction, the paper details the implementation layout and highlights the advantages of using a custom architecture for the automated dismantling of printed circuit board waste. Findings Currently, the amount of electronic waste is impressive while manual dismantling is a very common and non-efficient approach. Designing an automatic procedure that can be replicated, is one of the tasks for efficient electronic waste recovery. This paper proposes an automated dismantling system for the advanced recovery of particular waste materials from computer and telecommunications equipment. The automated dismantling architecture is built using a robotic system, a custom device and an eye-to-hand configuration for a stereo vision system. Originality/value The proposed approach is innovative because of its custom device design. The custom device is built using a programmable screwdriver combined with an innovative rotary dismantling tool. The dismantling torque can be tuned empirically.
