To address the adaptive modification of mechanical products, this paper proposes a method for identifying influential parts under multi-source adaptive changes. Based on change propagation relationships among parts, a product change propagation network is constructed to identify coupled nodes and paths in multi-source change propagation. Vector cosine analysis is applied to calculate the relevance of attribute changes in parts affected by different change sources, and the direct propagation strength of coupled paths from front-end to back-end nodes is computed. Considering the coupling effects among propagation paths, the influence of nodes is quantified by change propagation intensity. The feasibility and validity of the proposed method are demonstrated through a case study on a truck hydraulic tailgate device.
