Abstract( 754 )   HTML( 0 )     PDF(341KB)( 867 )
Based on fuzzy mathematics theory and evidential theory, a method to process uncertain information comprehensively and reasonably select products’ mechanical structure type is presented. Firstly, a set of design principles of each product sub-class is extracted by utilizing existing products cases and thena fuzzy vector to describe typical characteristics of each sub class is constructed. Furthermore, design information represented by general real number, sections and fuzzy sets is processed in the same way. Product type is determined by adopting inexact reasoning including fuzzy reasoning and evidential theory. The above method can be used as reasoning strategy for solution-seeking problem of intelligent design system and it can realize automatic knowledge acquisition. Through an illustration of type selection, the validity of this method is demonstrated.

Aiming at the remarkable problem confronting individual Q control chart during start-up phase-poor detection ability, a quality control chart improving initial performance of individual Q control chart is presented. This chart is established on the basis of Bayesian forecasting and dynamic model and is applied to a stable process during which process variance is unknown. Performance ofthis chart when the process was in a statistical stable state and the mean of the process had a drift and its effects when Bayesian dynamic models have different pre-estimated values are discussed. The results indicate that property of this chart can be applied to monitor the start-up phase during stable process well, which compensates the drawbacks of Q control chart.
