ABSTRACT |
Function integration is the way used commonly to achieve the lightweight design system. To realize the design
successfully by combing two systems multifaceted issues in need to be considered. The potential functional conflicts between
the existing systems are the major unfavorable factors limiting the design. In order to complete the better design, the functional
and physical relationships in the systems should be figured out. This paper proposes the approach, by which the function
integration process is expressed using the axiomatic design. In the design process, the mutual relationships of design
parameters in the systems are investigated by means of design matrices. The design concepts are compared and evaluated by
the method combining the axiomatic design and design structure matrix. |
