Module Creates Research, Equipment, Modular Design

Module construction which is the major task in modular design of military equipments, is aimed at designing standard, general-utility and seriate modules which fulfil the requirements of basic design, variant design and unitized design. According to above task, the main work of the dissertation are as follows:(1)Based on the module feature model, this paper brings forward the conception of module family, puts forward the feature parameter model of module family, and discusses the module family configuration model.(2)The basic scheme of module construction is designed which includes three modes.-generative module construction, reusable module construction and configurable module construction. For generative module construction, a whole process is firstly offered according to system engineering and design methodology, and a detailed description on module functional design and module structural design is then given, the design of module interfaces is finally discussed. For reusable module construction, the thought of Case-Based design is adopted and two modes are introduced: searching modules by module parameters and reasoning modules by module knowledge, both of which efficiently support retrieving similar modules for modification and reuse. For configurable module construction, the conception of module configuration space is put forward which can be acquired through double level mapping from customer requirements to the feature parameters of module family by QFD method and retrieving modules by the feature parameters of module family on the ground of similarity metric model, thus the configuration scheme is constructed with the help of module configuration space.(3)The theories and methods of module standardization, generalization and seriation are discussed.(4)Based on above theories and methods, the module construction system is designed and developed. And the application effect of the system is also analyzed.
