Disassembly Evaluation in Design of a System Using a Multi-Parameters Index

摘要

In orderto help designers, consider disassembly in their design activities, a methodfor evaluation of product disassembly is proposed. Criteria characterizing thedisassembility of a product are identified. Each criterion is assigned acoefficient, thus proposing an index of easy fixations (Iff) as a design indicator to evaluate the level ofdisassembly of a solution generated by the designer. This index is calculatedas a weighted average of the indicators for evaluating the disassembility ofthe product. The proposed method uses information such as the list of subsetsor parts, the component tree, the part geometry, the functional links betweencomponents and parts, the properties of the components. It has been tested on oneproduct: the soy roaster.
