A knowledge-based dwell mechanism design program has been developed on the premise that mechanism design can be considered as an example of general mechanical design. The program, called DWELL-ASSIST, was built using a knowledge based system shell, MIDAS, developed to embody a new model of conceptual and preliminary design. Based on required dwell and entire-motion characteristics, plus any designer preferences, DWELL-ASSIST proposes mechanism types and synthesis methods, in the context of prespecified “problem statements,” which the program judges to be compatible with the problem requirements. DWELL-ASSIST can choose from among cam, geared, and linkage mechanisms, and among path curvature, precision-point, optimization, and other specialized synthesis methods in its search for solutions. As a final step, DWELL-ASSIST has the capability of developing these chosen solutions and evaluating them based on problem requirements.

Abstract Selecting the appropriate components for a mechanical drive and transmission system is complicated not only by the inherent nature of the system designed, but also by the wide varieties of components available from a multitude of manufacturers. The integration of these components is more important when designing a working system where specific constraints have been imposed. Presented in this paper is an investigation of component relationship in the form of a knowledge-based-system which provides a practical algorithm for preliminary design of mechanical drive and transmission system. A design abstraction and an integration attributes in the power transmission components are addressed. The development of the matrix table for optimizing component design is also presented.
