Abstract
Axiomatic design offers a scientific base for design in an efficient way. It is well known that it has two axioms: the Independence Axiom and the Information Axiom. Many applications of the Independence Axiom have been published, however, the Information Axiom has been mainly applied to IFR (functional requirement) - 1DP (design parameter) problems except fer a few case studies. This research presents various methods for calculation of information content. Generally, the information content is evaluated by the probability of success. The probability of success is calculated in two ranges: the FR range and the DP range. In the FR range, the graphical method is utilized with uniform distribution of the DP. In the FP range, the integration method is employed. It is noted that any distribution function of the DP can be accommodated in the integration method. The developed method can be applied to a decoupled design with multiple FRs and DPs. The developed method is extended to a coupled design and a design with a hierarchical structure of axiomatic design.
