Support Engineering

Manufacturers are currently shifting their focus from selling products to providing services, hence the product’s designers must increasingly consider life-cycle requirements, in addition to conventional design parameters. To identify possible areas of concern, engineers must consider knowledge gained through the life cycle of similar or related product. However, because of the size and distributed nature of a company’s operation, engineers often do not have access to front-line maintenance data. In addition, the large number of documents generated during the design and operation of a product makes it impractical to manually review all documents thoroughly during a task. This paper presents a knowledge-based document repository demonstrator that is capable of providing such support for the maintainers and designers of jet engines.

Key Aspects

Abstract Knowledge is a vital component of engineering design. Computer systems enriched with logic and engineering knowledge can support engineering design by automating repetitive and time-consuming processes. This automation is enabled using knowledge based engineering (KBE) techniques and can be obtained using dedicated KBE systems or augmented CAD systems, already pervasive throughout engineering industry. The development of these KBE applications is supported by a six-phase development process ranging from engineering process analysis to software development to business implementation. Distinctions and similarities exploiting alternative KBE platforms are addressed for each phase of the development process. An example KBE application is discussed, supporting the design of laminate aircraft fuselage panels. The implementation of the application is emphasised and five key-aspects required for a successful implementation are defined.

Automation Framework

Cyberphysical system design automation utilizing knowledge based engineering techniques with globally networked knowledge bases can tremendously improve the design process for emerging systems. Our goal is to develop a comprehensive architectural framework to improve the design process for cyberphysical systems (CPS) and implement a case study with Axiomatic Design Solutions Inc. to develop next generation toolsets utilizing knowledge-based engineering (KBE) systems adapted to multiple domains in the field of CPS design automation. The Cyberphysical System Design Automation Framework (CPSDAF) will be based on advances in CPS design theory based on current research and knowledge collected from global sources automatically via Semantic Web Services. A case study utilizing STEM students is discussed.
