Towards an automatic extraction of generalized system of contradictions out of solutionless design of experiments

Abstract

There exist two kinds of problem resolution in the design of technical systems: the optimization resolution tools are appropriate for routine design whereas inventive resolution tools are appropriate for innovative and creative design. In general, the problems are tackled first by an optimization approach and, if no solution is found, inventive approaches are used to solve the problem. Previously, the Generalized System of Contradictions was defined to fit both kinds of problem resolution and to shift from optimization representation models to inventive ones. In this paper the transition is based on the identification of Generalized System of Contradictions out of Design of Experiments. The set of equations to resolve to automatically extract different kinds of contradictions out of a DoE’s model is proposed.
