Review on Modern Design Theory and Methodology Oriented Information Age for Mechanical Products

In the global economy environment, the competition of mechanical product manufacturing is essentially the competition of mechanical product design. How to develop quickly mechanical product is an important question of improving competition capability of manufacturing industry. It is necessary to study modem design theory, methodology and application technology of mechanical products. Analyzing in face of changes and requirements of mechanical product development, the architecture is proposed for describing modem design theory and method. According to stare-of-the-art and features of the network-based modem design methodology, the concept, technical method and main research contents are discussed on the intelligent design and the collaborative design. Several research progresses are introduced, which deal with the representation method of design knowledge, knowledge discovery technology of mechanical design, knowledge warehouse technology, functional architecture of knowledge warehouse for mechanical product, distributed collaborative design principle in the network environment, collaborative design method based on multi-agents and so on. Based on development requirements of manufacturing enterprises during the eleventh five-years plan of China, we pointed out the eight critical research issues and development trends on the intelligent design based knowledge, design method based resource conservation, computer-aided innovation design principle and so on. It has important theoretical guidance significance for studying the modern design theory and methodology oriented information age.
