  • Scalable multi-process inter-server collaborative Design Synthesis in the Internet distributed resource environment
    Advanced Engineering Informatics, 2021
    Co-Authors: Bin Chen, Weixing Chen
    Abstract:

    Abstract With the advanced Internet, numerous and diverse Design resources distributed in different locations and disciplines are becoming more and more accessible for Designers. To help Designers make the most of this Internet distributed resource environment in the Design Synthesis, a scalable multi-process inter-server collaborative method is proposed in this study. A distributed Design resource management mechanism is proposed based on the input–output flow model, and a scalable multi-process inter-server collaborative algorithm is proposed for the Design Synthesis. Based on this method, a software prototype is established, and the Design Synthesis of a 3-DOF wave power system is completed with it.

  • Conceptual Design Synthesis based on series-parallel functional unit structure
    Journal of Engineering Design, 2018
    Co-Authors: Bin Chen
    Abstract:

    Conceptual Design Synthesis is the core and starting phase of the Design process. During this phase, the Designers should deal with a large number of Design resources to construct conceptual systems which meet the functional requirement. Therefore, a conceptual Design Synthesis approach based on series-parallel function unit structure is proposed as an assistant tool for the Designers. This approach can help the Designers completing the conceptual Design Synthesis of simple Design missions or elementary functional modules of complex Design missions with series-parallel-structured Synthesis results. A corresponding computer programme is established as an implementation, and the conceptual Design Synthesis of the mechanical part of a friction-abrasion testing machine is completed with this programme to prove the practicability of this proposed approach.

  • a complex number domain based conceptual Design Synthesis for multidisciplinary products
    Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part C: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science, 2017
    Co-Authors: Bin Chen, Youbai Xie
    Abstract:

    With the increase of the customer demands for the products, multidisciplinary products are gradually becoming more competitive than the traditional products. Considering conceptual Design Synthesis is the core phase of the product Design and its result is the starting point of the next detail Design works, if the rich resources in multiple disciplinary domains can be fully used during this phase, the efficiency of multidisciplinary product Design will be largely promoted. Therefore, we proposed a novel conceptual Design Synthesis system for multidisciplinary products, which consists of three parts, i.e. basic framework, complex-number-domain-based mathematical model, and achieving approach. In the framework, three groups of concepts were defined and the conceptual Design Synthesis was concluded into three steps. The model can completely describe and modularize the function units which are the basic components of a Design scheme. Based on the model, the achieving approach can automatically generate stable ...

  • A computational approach for the optimal conceptual Design Synthesis based on the distributed resource environment
    International Journal of Production Research, 2017
    Co-Authors: Bin Chen, Youbai Xie
    Abstract:

    Optimal conceptual Design Synthesis is the very starting and key phase in the product Design. Its result is the optimal alternative in the solution space, and will be further completed and improved into the final product Design scheme in the next detailed Design works. With the progress of the Internet technology, a large number of Design resources actually construct an increasingly growing distributed resource environment. If these rich resources can be fully introduced into the optimal conceptual Design Synthesis, the Design efficiency and product innovation will be promoted largely. Therefore, a computational approach was proposed for the optimal conceptual Design Synthesis based on the distributed resource environment. In this approach, the distributed resource environment is modelled as a set of numerous functional units (FUs), and the optimal conceptual Design Synthesis is concluded into a process of generating the optimal objective FU chain. Here, the main workload is completed by a proposed comput...

  • Design Synthesis Studies for the Development of Deep Ocean Manganese Nodule Collecting Systems
    Volume 4: Materials Technology; Ocean Engineering, 2007
    Co-Authors: Deepak C. Raphael, Medisetti M. Rao, Sivasailam Kumaraswamy, Muthukamatchi Ravindran
    Abstract:

    Deep ocean mining of manganese nodules presents one of the major challenges in technology in areas pertaining to complex Design of machinery for long duration operations at about five thousand metres depth on soft ocean floor. Design Synthesis for such systems has to be done keeping in view device interactions, cascading effects of probable failures in hyperbaric subsea conditions apart from main functional requirements. In the present study, conventional Design Synthesis approaches have been enhanced with Design fusion methodologies developed like structured mutual fusion, function sharing approaches for reinforcement, buoyancy and protection, mutual balancing of dynamic forces and reactions of devices. Bionic Design methods with analogies to nature can be used effectively in Design fusion for manganese nodule collection systems. Case studies of failure and its cascading effects experienced in deep seas have been studied and factors to be taken care in Design Synthesis mentioned. The paper describes in detail the methodologies developed and Design Synthesis approaches that can be used for Designing deep ocean manganese nodule collector systems.© 2007 ASME

  • A multi-agent-based approach for conceptual Design Synthesis of multi-disciplinary systems
    International Journal of Production Research, 2013
    Co-Authors: Yong Chen, Zelin Liu, Youbai Xie
    Abstract:

    It is encouraged that Designers should explore in wide multi-disciplinary solution spaces for finding novel and promising principle solutions to desired functions during conceptual Design. However, due to lack of sufficient multi-disciplinary knowledge, it is often difficult for human Designers to explore in wide multi-disciplinary solution spaces. Therefore, this paper proposes a multi-agent-based approach for assisting Designers in achieving multi-disciplinary conceptual Design Synthesis. The roles of different kinds of Designing agents are identified, and the collaborative mechanisms among these agents are also elaborated. The conceptual Design test case of a solar toy demonstrates that the proposed multi-agent-based Design Synthesis approach, compared with our previous approach, can achieve higher efficiency and better robustness through collaborative conceptual Design Synthesis.
