Abstract:

With the rapid advancement of network science research, complex networks have become one of the research focal points in various fields. Industrial design, as a highly integrated cross-disciplinary domain, is no exception. Complex network theory provides a more in-depth research perspective, bringing brand-new opportunities within this field. To advance research and foster the application of complex networks in industrial design, a review was conducted on related studies at home and abroad. It summarized the research methods and progress, offering further analysis. Firstly, the complex network theory was presented through three aspects: basic concept, basic model, and main research content. Subsequently, it reviewed the application of complex network theory in industrial design in terms of product structural design, product appearance design, and design demand analysis. Finally, taking into account the existing development of relevant research, it provided an analysis and summary of the application of research results of complex network in industrial design and the research needs for node selection and network construction in the actual design process. It also presented and discussed the research hotspots and development trends in complex networks in industrial design.

Key words: complex network, industrial design, structure design, exterior design, requirements analysis
