Abstract
Adaptable design aims to extend the utilities of design and product.The specific methods are developed for practical applications of adaptable design in the design of mechanical structures, including adaptable platform,interface and module designs.Adaptable redesign problems are formulated as adaptable platform design under adaptability bound constraints.Analysis tools are then suggested for the implementation of the redesign of machine tool structures,including variation techniques based sensitivity analysis,similarity-based commonality analysis,performance improvement,and adaptability measures.The specific measure of adaptability for machine tool structures is measured through the quantification of the structural similarity and performance improvement gained from adaptable design.The method provides designers with an approach that brings adaptability into the design process,with considering the cost and benefits of such adaptability. The redesign of CNC spiral bevel gear cutting machine structures has been included to illustrate these concepts and methods.
