Abstract

The engineering design process is a comprehensive process in which many parameters such as functionality, manufacturability, aesthetics, and cost are considered and optimized. Systematic design methods can be used to take into account these parameters and not to overlook the details. First of all, design options are created in line with the determined goals, and then some selection and evaluation processes are made to determine the ideal design among these options. However, the shortening of the product lifetimes has made it necessary to shorten the design and development processes. Artificial intelligence technologies can help designers speed up selection and evaluation processes in the early design phase. This study, it is aimed to evaluate the design options by including the fuzzy logic method in the systematic design approach of Pahl and Beitz. The validity and effectiveness of the method were demonstrated by a wheelchair conceptual design. In addition, the presented method has been compared with the traditional conceptual design method in terms of its results. The use of the fuzzy logic method in conceptual design provides fast, sensitive, and comprehensive evaluation besides being simple and easy to understand.

Özet

Mühendislik tasarım işlemi; işlevsellik, üretilebilirlik, estetik, maliyet gibi birçok parametreyi hesaba katma ve optimize etmeyi içerir. Tüm bu parametreleri özenli dikkate alabilmek için sistematik tasarım yaklaşımı kullanılabilir. Önce ihtiyaç ve sınırlayıcıları karşılayacak tasarım seçenekleri oluşturulur ve sonra da bunlar arasından ideali belirleyecek değerlendirme ve seçimler yapılır. Ancak, ürün yaşam döngüsündeki kısalmalar tasarım ve geliştirme süreçlerini de kısalmasını gerekli kılmıştır. Yapay zekâ teknolojileri, erken tasarım aşaması değerlendirme ve seçim işlemlerini hızlandırmaya yardımcı olabilir. Bu çalışmada Pahl ve Beitz’in Sistematik tasarım yaklaşımına dâhil edilen bulanık mantık yöntemi ile tasarım değerlendirmesi yapılmaktadır. Yöntemin geçerlilik ve etkinliği bir tekerlekli sandalye kavramsal tasarımı ile gösterilmiştir. Ayrıca kullanılan yöntem ve normal kavramsal tasarım yöntem sonuçları da karşılaştırılmıştır. Kavramsal tasarımda bulanık mantık kullanımı basit ve kolay anlaşılır olması yanında hızlı, hassas ve kapsamlı değerlendirmeler de sağlamaktadır.
