A model for iterative construction of conflict flow networks based on extensible conduction transformation.

To address conflicts arising during the innovative product design process, a dynamic evolution of conflicts and their relationships leads to the emergence of a new set of conflicts termed as "conflict flow." Initially, a product elemental network is created by analyzing the relevance of the improved product. The elemental nodes in this network undergo extensible conduction transformation which helps extract elemental conduction paths and identify conflicts. Subsequently, a scale-free conflict network is constructed using graph theory, and key conflicts are determined and resolved using TRIZ tools. Through iterative iterations, the conflict flows in the improvement design process are discovered and resolved. Furthermore, this research proposes a method for elemental conduction transformation and conflict determination rules based on conduction paths. It also describes the processes involved in constructing both the elemental network and the scale-free conflict network. Ultimately, the study establishes an iterative construction process model for conflict flow networks based on Extensible Conduction Transformation. To demonstrate its effectiveness, a case study is conducted involving the improvement design of an engineering mechanical Lead-acid battery plate testing equipment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
