Abstract

Product serialization design is an effective method for product family development. To explore the development law of product serialization, the kansei image change law within the series, and the interaction mechanisms of kansei image and form between the series, this paper proposes an evolutionary design method of product form inspired by Spider-webs. Inspired by the special structure and mechanical properties of Spider-webs in nature, at the macro level, we use the structure of the Spider-webs to describe the relationship between products in the product family. At the micro level, based on the mechanical properties of spiderwebs, we analyzed the development law of the product form within and between the series in the product family and then proposed a calculation method for the crossover coefficient and variation coefficient (in the genetic algorithm) for product form evolution. This method provides a scientific basis for determining the crossover coefficient and the variation coefficient from a new perspective. The case study results show that this model can effectively simulate the changing laws of design cognition and the evolution laws of product form, thereby providing a theoretical basis for the intelligent design of product form in a product family.
