摘要：
Extenics is a newly developed interdisciplinary subject combining mathematics, philosophy and engineering. It provides useful formalized qualitative tools and quantitative tools for solving contradictory problems. In this paper, extension theory is introduced briefly and the primary applications of this theory and methods in bionic engineering research are discussed. The extension model of biological coupling functional system is established. In order to identify the primary and secondary sequencing of coupling elements, the Extension Analytic Hierarchy Process (EAHP) was adopted to analyze the contribution of each coupling element to the coupling functional system. Thus, the influence weight factor of each coupling element can be determined, so as to provide a new approach for solving primary and secondary sequencing problem of coupling elements in a quantitative way, and facilitate the subsequent bionic coupling study.
