 Generating complete disassembly sequences by utilising two-dimensional viewsR. Giri and M. Kanthababu International Journal of Production Research, 2015, vol. 53, issue 17, 5118-5138 Abstract: This research work proposes a novel method to generate the complete disassembly sequences for mechanical products by utilising the part interference matrix which contains the removal directions of the parts and the part connection graph which indicates the contact among the parts in the assembly. Contrary to the earlier methods, the proposed method considers the two-dimensional views generated from the computer-aided design assembly model for automatically identifying the part removal directions and for generating the part connection graph. Rules are formulated in the proposed method to identify the part removal directions effectively and also to reduce the size of part connection graph, since the method of identifying the part removal directions and the size of the formulated graph plays a vital role in the generation of disassembly sequence. Finally, a heuristic method is developed to generate the best feasible disassembly sequences. The effectiveness of the approach is illustrated with three examples.
