Matching of orthopedic plates and bony surfaces does not have a high certainty of success because bone anatomy differs among individuals. Considering that surfaces of both orthopedic plates and bones manifest themselves as freeform surfaces and are especially suitable for surface feature-based design, a novel surface feature-based method for designing orthopedic plates is put forward, with detailed steps as follows. First, the bone surface feature (BSF) is established through feature representation of an average bone surface model, obtained based on the investigated samples. Second, the abutted surface of an orthopedic plate is established directly based on the BSF surface to increase matching between the plate and bony surface. The abutted surface feature (ASF) is then established through feature representation of the abutted surface. Third, the hierarchical mapping relationship between BSF and ASF is setup based on the framework of “three-level parameters and two-grade mappings.” The result is that semantic parameters defined on BSF and ASF are separated as an operation interface to make it convenient to edit orthopedic plates according to bone sizes. Finally, the orthopedic plate is generated by thickening the abutted surface, which is generated based on parameters defined on BSF. Taking radius as an example, a group of volar plates suitable for distal radius with different sizes are generated, showing that the proposed method is valid and feasible. Meanwhile, biomechanical stresses of designed volar plates are analyzed with finite element analysis, and the result shows that designed volar plates have good structural strength.

Feature Based Design

Commercial feature-based design systems are based on describing the design model in some form of sequential representation of primitive shapes and operations called features. In these systems, the overall design process, the behavior of building blocks and the characteristics of the final model, are governed by the construction sequence. These systems do not check for the conformity of the final shape with the actual design intent of features, and allow their design and engineering intent to be altered during the design process. The research work presented here describes a new design methodology and feature representation for facilitating a design environment that is independent of any construction order or constraint-based dependencies and provides a mechanism for maintaining design and engineering intent of the design features. The methodology works by dynamically evaluating the features using a planning algorithm such that the validity of each feature is maintained. These are intended to serve as a generic template that can be used to design and develop specific design features and CAD software systems.

Feature Based Design

Abstract This paper presents the development of a new high-level design language called Feature based Design Description Language — FDDL. The traditional and computer-aided design and manufacturing procedures were analyzed and the important gaps between CAD and CAM have been identified. These include the lack of uniform representation of parts and products, and lack of effective links between CAD and CAM. The FDDL is proposed and designed in association with a feature representation scheme as a means of integrating design and manufacturing tasks planning. Its syntax, semantics and vocabulary have been defined taking into consideration ease of use, compatibility with engineering terminology and ease of computer implementation. The FDDL system consists of a number of lexical analyzers, a parser and three code generators. Once the products or parts modeled using FDDL or the feature based modeler are processed by the FDDL system, syntax error free input files are created for use by manufacturing task planning systems. The FDDL has been applied to a feature based cellular manufacturing planning system, an expert automated CMM inspection task planner, and a mechanical assembly sequence planner.

Definition Of

The article presents a reflection on the definition of the feature, which enabled the development of feature-based method for modeling of composite structural components. The need for defining feature is a direct result of the ambiguity of statements or narrow definitions and their applications. So far are well developed feature, which are used in process design (CAD) - geometric feature, design feature and in the process of manufacturing (CAM) - Technology feature, and also focused on functionality (CAE - motion simulation) functional feature. The feature representation of a fully functioning feature-based system that does the aggregation of information about the structure of a construction object made from layered composites.. This approach is based on a single, independent feature representation that can be used for design, finite element analysis, technology process planning. The paper describes the main approach to the engineering analysis with the use of FEM and a convenient method of simplifying the geometry of the model and the composition of the composite. Also discussed are possible extensions to features to enhance the finite element meshing process.

Integrated Optimization Design

The aerodynamic performance, structural strength and wheel weight are three important factors in the design process of the radial turbine. This paper presents an investigation on these aspects and develops an optimization design approach for radial turbine with consideration of the three factors. The aerodynamic design for the turbine wheel with inlet diameter of 230mm for 100kW-class microturbine unit is carried out firstly as the original design. Then, the cylinder parabolic geometrical design method is applied to the wheel modeling and structural design, but the maximum stress predicted by Finite Element Analysis greatly exceeds the yield limit of material. Furthermore, the wheel weight is above 7.2kg thus bringing some critical difficulties for bearing design and turbine operation. Therefore, an integrated optimization design method for radial turbine is studied and developed in this paper with focus on the wheel design. Meridional profiles and shape lines of turbine wheel are optimized with consideration of the whole wheel weight. Main structural modeling parameters are reselected to reduce the wheel weight. Trade-off between aerodynamic performance and strength performance is highly emphasized during the optimization design. The results show that the optimized turbine wheel gets high aerodynamic performance and acceptable stress distribution with the weight less than 3.8kg.
