We aim to lend insights into “what” constitutes design rationale and “how” to capture these. We restrict the scope of design rationale to the cases of failures observed while testing real engineered systems. We propose a model as an integration of a system hierarchy, a causal chain, and a causality model to cast multiple views of design rationale. The model is structured into databases using a newly introduced version of design structure matrices and supported using a web interface called CRIS⁴P, which is deployed at a space agency. We report a case example from the spacecraft domain and benchmark the proposed model against IBIS‐FAD model.

对设计原理进行建模和结构化以实现知识重用

我们旨在对“什么”构成设计原理以及“如何”捕捉这些原理提供见解。我们将设计原理的范围限制为在测试实际工程系统时发现的故障情况。我们提出一个模型，将其作为系统层次结构，因果链和因果关系模型的集成，以投射多种设计依据。该模型使用最新引入的设计结构矩阵版本构建到数据库中，并使用称为CRIS ⁴ P的Web界面进行支持，该界面已部署在航天局。我们报告了一个航天器领域的案例，并针对IBIS-FAD模型对建议的模型进行了基准测试。
