Abstract

The paper presents a set of decisions for improving the processes of designing the template tooling in the aviation industry. Specificity of the offered approach to designing this kind of equipment is to obtaining positive effects of reflecting the life cycle of any template on semantic memory, such as a question-answer. The reflection of the life cycle on the semantic memory makes it possible to develop ontological means of support, to organize structural designing the configured templates of aviation details and also use of means of conceptual experimenting. Such type of experimenting suggests the structure and attributes of the semantic memory cells are focused on the coding of models of questions and answers from the viewpoint of their use in solving the creative tasks. In such modeling, any conceptual experiment is conducted as an automated mental experiment the structure and content of which are operatively used in designing of templates. The ontological support helps to reduce the design complexity, improve the initial design quality, get a shorter pre-production term, as well as to accumulate and transfer the experience of the previously implemented design solutions.

Highlights

  • In aircraft manufacturing, template equipment is used for the manufacture, control and assembly of fuselage, wings and aileron parts, including details of their skin, and includes tens of thousands of templates of varying complexity and purpose

  • Specificity of the offered approach to designing this kind of equipment is to obtaining positive effects of reflecting the life cycle of any template on semantic memory, such as a question-answer

  • Configured templates as specialized equipment for manufacturing and checking of aviation details have a set of features the main of which are the following: complicated geometrical forms, small rigidity, greater scales, and strict requirements to accuracy of manufacturing

Summary

Introduction

Template equipment is used for the manufacture, control and assembly of fuselage, wings and aileron parts, including details of their skin, and includes tens of thousands of templates of varying complexity and purpose. The template tooling consisting of tens of thousands of templates is widely adopted in the aircraft construction to produce, check and assemble fuselage, wings, and ailerons, including skin covering parts Such features of parts determine this fact as the complexity of their geometric shape, low stiffness, large-size dimensions, the strict requirement of production and coupling accuracy. In the general case of designing metal sheet templates, you need to be creative to solve tasks of engineering configuration taking into account engineering conditions to employ templates in production, checking and assembling aircraft parts For these reasons, any geometry of a configured template is more complex than the geometry of a part developed to work with it. The content of the article concerns notably this component and its use in a template design process
