ABSTRACT: In order
to help designers, consider disassembly in their design activities, a method
for evaluation of product disassembly is proposed. Criteria characterizing the
disassembility of a product are identified. Each criterion is assigned a
coefficient, thus proposing an index of easy fixations (Iff)
as a design indicator to evaluate the level of
disassembly of a solution generated by the designer. This index is calculated
as a weighted average of the indicators for evaluating the disassembility of
the product. The proposed method uses information such as the list of subsets
or parts, the component tree, the part geometry, the functional links between
components and parts, the properties of the components. It has been tested on one
product: the soy roaster.
