Abstract: Design is a knowledge-intensive process. Considering the features of ripple down rules (RDR) method, this paper proposes and analyzes a framework for RDR-based design knowledge management system (RDR_DKMS). The functions of the system are analyzed. An example is given to describe the application of the RDR_DKMS. The proposed framework and the critical functions can assist enterprises to build their design knowledge management systems more easily.

Key words: ripple down rules(RDR), design knowledge, design knowledge management system(DKMS), knowledge acquisition

摘要： 设计过程是一个知识密集型过程。为了向企业提供有效和准确的设计知识，在分析涟波下降规则工作原理的基础上，提出了基于涟波下降规则的设计知识管理系统架构，给出了该系统的定义，进一步研究了该系统的主要功能。依据提出的架构及其主要功能，通过一个应用实例，验证了研究成果的有效性。
