Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If trial and error method is used to determine input information for analysis, then the analysis condition can be determined, but it takes a long time
Solution Approach 1:
The invention changes the approach from trial-and-error parameter adjustment to systematic parameter estimation using sensitivity analysis. By calculating sensitivity matrices that quantify how output responses change with input parameters, the method directly computes optimal parameter values rather than searching through trials, thereby reducing time while maintaining accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention replaces the mechanical trial-and-error process with a computational mathematical system. Instead of manually adjusting parameters based on trial results, the system uses automated sensitivity analysis and matrix calculations to determine optimal parameters, substituting human iterative adjustment with algorithmic computation.
2Measurement precision
If experiment is conducted to determine input information such as normal deviation, then the value can be obtained, but it requires time-consuming trials and errors
Solution Approach 1:
The invention creates a virtual copy of the physical experiment through numerical analysis. Instead of conducting actual physical experiments to measure normal deviation, the method uses computational models with sensitivity analysis to estimate the parameter values, providing equivalent information without the time cost of physical trials.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention substitutes physical experimentation with computational analysis. By replacing the mechanical experiment process with mathematical sensitivity analysis and parameter estimation algorithms, the method achieves the same measurement precision without the time-consuming nature of physical trials.
3Loss of information
If sensitivity analysis is performed to find ratio of change in output to change in input, then the relationship can be understood, but it requires multiple analysis steps
Solution Approach 1:
The invention merges multiple sensitivity analysis steps into a unified parameter estimation process. By combining the sensitivity matrix calculation, error computation, and parameter update steps into an integrated iterative algorithm, the method maintains comprehensive understanding of input-output relationships while reducing the apparent complexity through systematic organization.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention implements feedback loops where analysis results are continuously fed back to refine parameter estimates. The error between measured and calculated values is used to update sensitivity matrices and adjust parameters iteratively, creating a self-correcting system that improves accuracy through repeated cycles of analysis and refinement.
