An I-Ching-TRIZ inspired tool for retrieving conceptual design solutions

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the representation of inventive principles TRIZ theory innovative problem solving as symbolic expressions. Each expression comprises two sets relations between predicates and objects respectively. The expressions are arranged in a two-dimensional matrix, matrix (IPM), according to that they contain. structure IPM is inspired by I-Ching system. A conceptual design translated into set queries stating objectives constraints on solution. queries, also represented form, then used search for suitable solutions. describes an application proposed query technique designing bushing. Future work should focus integrating this method with concept adaptation.
