Abstract:It is envisaged that competitive engineering solutions will be achieved through “agile” design processes that adapt rapidly to changes in requirements and increase the quality and effectiveness of creative labor. Based on this prediction, this thesis aims to increase the agility in the design process by applying the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) to the actuator control electronics (ACE), which is one of the main components of the electromechanical control systems (ECS), an important subsystem in the aviation industry. As a result of the conducted research, it was found that TRIZ tools are not handled holistically, the whole theory is overshadowed by some TRIZ tools, and electronic engineering applications are limited. Based on these findings, the main ideas and tools used in Altshuller's three important studies were reviewed and the methodological framework needed to implement TRIZ to the ECS’s was established. The use cases analyzed through the ACE's development scenario indicate the need for agile development of the development process, while the functional analysis of the ACE shows that several technical contradictions prevent it from being met. These contradictions could be solved by the application of ARIZ, an organized compiler TRIZ tool. It was determined that electronic circuit design changes were time consuming and costly process and the standard solution principles were obtained against contradictory engineering problems. The platform structure in modular structure with unique functions obtained by taking standard solution principles as a holistic approach is introduced and its functions, features and limitations are defined. It has also been tested with instrumentation attempts in the laboratory and how much it can meet the requirements has been examined which resulted with positive outcomes. It is considered that this study will serve as an example for future electronic design applications of TRIZ and will help to agile the development of the ECS development process with the engineering solution obtained.
