Abstract: Disassembling is an important process in the maintenance, reparation, and disposal of mechanical as well as structural systems. More often than not, however, disassembling processes are not prepared in advance; we need to organize the disassembling process based on the obtained arrangement information of the constituent parts of the system. In this study, we deal with a disassembling process inference based on the positional relations matrix. On the basis of the positional relations matrix, the geometrical constraints among the parts can be expressed in a general form. The developed disassembling process inference based on the matrix is considered to be practical. We have evaluated the practicality of the proposed disassembling process inference based on a number of disassembling problems which were generated by means of a problem-generation system based on random number generator. The obtained evaluation demonstrated that the proposed approach does not always result in the optimal disassembling process but provides a fairly appropriate disassembling process in general, and the required computational cost is considerably small. We concluded that the proposed disassembling process inference is practical enough.
