Linearization of Hypergraphic Models of Mechanical Structures with Redundant Constraints Based on the System of Ordinal Rules
This study aims to test methods for removing redundant bonds from mechanical structures based on a system of ordinal rules. Linearization of structures according to this criterion contributes to the identification of gross errors at the early stages of design, taking into account the ordinal preferences necessary to comply with the technological processes of assembly, repair and maintenance of products. The novelty of the study consists in using an approach to representing the product model using a hypergraph. The paper considers the effect of relocation and methods of dealing with it. As a result, experimental confirmation of the efficiency of the algorithm was obtained, which proves the possibility of using the discussed approach to reduce labour costs in the design of products.
