Knowledge modeling and solving strategy are the key techniques of improving the innovation design ability of a complex product with design knowledge system. Aiming at a formal expression of product behavior knowledge, generalized variables are introduced from the bond graph theory. The attributes of motion behavior are used to realize the unity of dynamic behavior and static behavior. The ontology model of product design function, behavior, structure knowledge is constructed with the six-tuple structure. With the breadth first search FBS ontology mapping strategy, product design is realized by searching within product design knowledge base according to the name similarity. For the new function introduced by new demand in product design, concept learning based on variant space is proposed to get the general function unit or special function unit. Then the innovation design is realized through FBS ontology mapping strategy. The validity of the proposed method is verified by example of innovation design of multi-wire diamond saw.

In this paper, we investigated the definition of product design knowledge, design knowledge origin characteristics and design knowledge formalized representation method, etc. We also established the methods to classify and represent the concept-design knowledge and developed an ontology-based model presenting the design knowledge as well as a model for modeling cycles. From the design knowledge management’s angle, design knowledge modeling approach is studied to support the design knowledge development, transfer and reuse for the construction machinery the knowledge modeling.

In this paper, we investigated the knowledge modeling and proposed an ontology description logic theory based on fuzzy interval in order to support the management and reuse of design knowledge. We also established the methods to classify and represent the concept-design knowledge and developed an ontology-based model presenting the design knowledge as well as a model for modeling cycles. We further applied these methods and models to develop a specific ontology-based design knowledge model and validated them in the management system of design knowledge for the construction machinery.

The purpose of this paper is to build knowledge description model for complex product design. In order to uniform the semantic of glossary in design process, an extensive glossary semantic tree is built up and the corresponding semantic similarity calculation algorithm is proposed. The complex design knowledge can be divided into instance pattern, chart pattern, formula pattern and rule pattern. The knowledge models are proposed for these four pattern knowledge models. At last, a design knowledge modeling and reusing system for complex product is achieved, and the design knowledge can be inherited by it.

In this paper, we concentrate on the ontology-Based design knowledge modeling technologies for the construction machinery. For that, we study the ontology modeling theory, the representation of product design knowledge and the ontology modeling of design knowledge, etc. From the design knowledge management’s angle, design knowledge modeling approach is studied to support the design knowledge development, transfer and reuse for the construction machinery.

Product design and development becomes increasingly knowledge-intensive and collaborative. It is very difficult to meet currently imperious needs for the traditional design mode, knowledge managing methods and the geometry-centric application tool. Designers require more generic knowledge of design and design process and more intelligent system. It establishes the FBPSS framework system supporting modeling of product function, behavior, principle, state and structure. Based on this FBPSS framework system, ontology-based product design system is developed through design knowledge repositories.

This paper describes efforts taken to further transition life cycle analysis techniques from the latter, more detailed phases of design, to the early-on conceptual phase of product development. By using modern design methodologies such as automated concept generation and an archive of product design knowledge, known as the Design Repository, virtual concepts are created and specified. Streamlined life cycle analysis techniques are then used to determine the environmental impacts of the virtual concepts. As a means to benchmark the virtual results, analogous real-life products that have functional and component similarities are identified. The identified products are then scrutinized to determine their material composition and manufacturing attributes in order to perform an additional round of life cycle analysis for the actual products. The results of this research show that enough information exists within the conceptual phase of design (utilizing the Design Repository) to reasonably predict the relative environmental impacts of actual products based on virtual concepts.

This paper presents our continuing work to develop methods to exchange product knowledge in the semantic level in the CAD/CAE domains. We present an approach based on a shared ontology, in which a higher level of ontologies are shared among lower levels of ontologies. Key mapping strategies, such as Equivalency, Attribute Similarity, Composition Similarity, and Inheritance Similarity are defined to map concepts and properties defined in a product design domain and an assembly simulation domain. In addition, a Bridge Ontology is designed to store information obtained from mapping processes and construct a link between different knowledge repositories. An Ontology Mapping Application (OMA) which brings together all these elements has been designed and implemented. It is a Java-based application that allows the user to load source and target ontologies, calculate concept and property similarities between them, display the mapping results, and output a corresponding Bridge Ontology.

One in every seven Americans has some form of disability. The number of people with disabilities is expected to increase, perhaps significantly, over the foreseeable future. Nevertheless, persons with a disability remain underserved by consumer products. Product designers fail to design universal products primarily due to a lack of knowledge, tools, and experience with universal design. Though challenges to complete access remain, the design of universal architectural systems reflects a better codification of methods, guidelines, and knowledge than available to universal product design. This article reports research efforts to transfer elements of the design knowledge and tools from universal architectural design to universal product design. The research uses the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health to formally describe user function, the Functional Basis to describe product function, and actionfunction diagrams as an analytical framework to explore the interaction between user activity, limitation, and product realization. The comparison of the universal and typical architectural systems reveal relevant design differences in specific parametric realization, morphology, and function. Of these differences, parametric was the most common with functional the least common. The user activities that most frequently result in a design change are reaching followed by maintaining body position. The comparison of architectural systems to consumer products noted a common trend of a functional design change made in result to the user activity of transferring oneself.

In order to provide knowledge service more efficiently for complex mechanical product design, a knowledge organization model for complex mechanical product design knowledge based on the process modular approach was proposed. First, a general form, the knowledge instance, would be used to represent all forms of the knowledge for complex mechanical product design; then, based on the contents and features of the knowledge instances and the semantic relations in the domain ontology, the special collections of the knowledge instances which have related features would be composed to knowledge modules, and knowledge modules would be organized as a DAG(directed acyclic graph). The complex mechanical product design knowledge could be efficiently and completely queried based-on semantic according to the logical relationships expressed in the DAG.
