Abstract
The current trend in the new product development is horizontal integration of various fields of technical solutions and principles of action (mechanical, electrical, software, etc). In order to provide integrated (multidisciplinary) products of higher quality level or to enrich the existing technical systems with electronic control or with artificial intelligence, the design structure should involve function carriers with various physical and other principles. Linking of function carriers with principles of action in conflict (physical contradictions) presents an important problem. The article contains the analysis of contradictory principles of action and identification of the ten groups of function carriers with contradictory principles. The cases study of existing technical solutions, support the basic hypothesis for established CFL methodology for linking solutions development. The methodology is based on the TRIZ and WOIS integration and a corresponding software application. For the new principle solutions search the application of bionic (biomimetic) approach is proposed. The integration and the new linking solutions development is based on cognitive decision making.
