HOW INDUSTRIAL DESIGN INTERACTS WITH TECHNOLOGY – A CASE STUDY ON DESIGN OF A STONE CRUSHER

Kurvinen, E. // 2004
This paper takes an empirical look into industrial design (ID) in process and metal industry. The data is based on a case study of an ID pilot project at a company that is a market leader in mineral ...

IMPROVING PRODUCT DESIGN VIA A SHAPE GRAMMAR TOOL

Prats, M.; Garner, S.; Jowers, I.; Earl, C. // 2004
Modern computer methods of design provide a powerful tool for communicating design concepts in a quantitative manner, but lack the flexibility to allow designers freedom to thoroughly explore a ...

MAPPING HAPTIC PROPERTIES IN PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT WORK

Isaksson, J. // 2004
To achieve an integrated impression of a product it is important to encompass all five senses. Otherwise, the perception of the product may be misleading and total impression fails. Previous research ...

MEASURING THE CUSTOMER’S PERCEPTION OF DESIGN CHARACTERISTICS AS INDICATORS FOR ADDED VALUE

Oberender, C.; Kopp, K.; Birkhofer, H. // 2004
When developing marketable products it is important to give them as well practical value as some kind of added value, i.e. social prestige value and individual edification value. Prestige value is ...

METHODS OF MONITORING THE TESTING STATUS OF VARIANT RICH PRODUCTS

Baumberger, C.; Lindemann, U.; Pulm, U.; Skull, M.; Stetter, R.; Kaindl, W. // 2004
Today development projects in automotive industry are highly distributed and several packages are completely handled by system suppliers. Moreover the illustrated situation is aggravated by an ...

MODELLING OF DISPLACEMENT COMPRESSORS USING MATLAB/SIMULINK SOFTWARE

Sjöstedt, Carl-Johan // 2004
Model based development is increasingly used to minimise costly and time consuming testing of physical prototypes during product development. Modelling and concept evaluation by using computer models ...

PRODUCT DESIGN SCHEMATICS: STRUCTURED DIAGRAMMING FOR REQUIREMENTS ENGINEERING

Salustri, F. A.; Parmar, J. // 2004
The authors have developed a systematic diagrammatic approach to represent design problem requirements as part of a larger project on visualising design information. Product design schematics (PDS) ...

PRODUCT DISASSEMBLY SEQUENCES APPROACH IN THE EARLY STAGES OF PRODUCT DESIGN

Kljajin, M.; Opalić, M. // 2004
The authors are investigating procedures, which can be used to assess service difficulties and costs at the early stages of product design. A central part of this work is generation of required ...

REFLECTIONS ABOUT REFLECTIVE PRACTICE

Eder, W. E.; Hubka, V. // 2004
Reflection is an essential characteristic of designing, but only a part of that process. Few attempts have been made to specify what questions should be useful in reflection. This paper brings the ...

SIMULATING DESIGN PROCESSES TO INCREASE MANAGERS' UNDERSTANDING

O'Donovan, B.; Eckert, C.; Clarkson, P.J. // 2004
Beginning a design project is challenging. Managers need to understand where the risks lie in the new process. They need to plan tasks and allocate resources to them. Most products are designed by ...

Systematic process engineering and ist application in product planning

Weigt, M.; Seidel, M. // 2004
Current industrial products are characterised by increasing complexity, quality requirements, and a high level of specialisation. To stay competitive in today’s markets, a substantial improvement of ...

THE BENEFITS OF PREDICTING CHANGE IN COMPLEX PRODUCTS: APPLICATION AREAS OF A DSM-BASED PREDICTION TOOL

Jarratt, T.; Eckert, C.; Clarkson, P.J. // 2004
Most designers struggle to fully understand a complex product. Throughout the entire life cycle of a product engineers are frequently required to predict how changes could propagate. Currently, few ...

THE DESIGN OF ELECTRONIC MEDIA-BASED ACTIVE LEARNING EXPERIENCES

Brungart, J. // 2004
The tradition of classroom learning materials among Western cultures-structured sequentially and focused on the representation of theories and classification of concepts in the absence of direct ...

TOWARDS A SYSTEM MODEL TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF DECISIONS

Dünser, T.; Meier, M. // 2004
For the evaluation of components in the design of complex systems, it is hard to determine both the evaluation criteria and their importance correctly. The paper introduces a new approach to ...

USER-CENTRIC EVOLUTIONARY DESIGN

Parmee, I. C.; Abraham, J.A. // 2004
The paper provides an overview of interactive evolutionary computing and describes aspects of user-centric evolutionary design systems relating to multi-objective satisfaction. Such systems generate ...

VIRTUAL PROTOTYPING OF SELF-OPTIMIZING MECHATRONIC SYSTEMS

Gausemeier, J.; Müller, W.; Paelke, V.; Bauch, J.; Shen, Q.; Radkowski ,R. // 2004
Future mechatronic products will comprise configurations of solution elements with an inherent partial intelligence. The complexity of these systems and the necessity to efficiently analyze and ...

VISUALIZATION OF THE MULTI-ATTRIBUTE DESIGN SPACE

Grubišić, I. // 2004
A multi-attribute design procedure results in relatively large number of Pareto optimal designs. Since every design is also defined by a set of parameters it is necessary to establish relations ...

WHAT DESIGNERS THINK WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THEIR PROCESSES: EARLY RESULTS FROM A COMPARATIVE STUDY

Eckert, C.; Blackwell, A.; Bucciarelli, L.L.; Clarkson, P.J.; Earl, C.; Knight ,T.W.; McMillan, S.; Stacey, M.K.; Whitney, D. // 2004
The Across Design project at the University of Cambridge and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is one of the first research efforts to draw comparisons between design processes in different ...

AN INFORMATION MODEL. FOR MECHATRONIC PRODUCTS FOCUSING ON EARLY DEVELOPMENT PHASES

Svensson, Daniel; Hallin, Karl; Zimmerman, Tiond; Malmqvist, Johan // 2003
In mechatronic product development, there is a lack of a common understanding among different engineering domains. One step towards improving this situation is to propose information models capable ...

Boolean Searches

The following examples demonstrate some search strings that use boolean operators:

  • design community
    Find rows that contain at least one of the two words.
  • +design +community
    Find rows that contain both words.
  • +design community
    Find rows that contain the word “design”, but rank rows higher if they also contain “community”.
  • +design -community
    Find rows that contain the word “design” but not “community”.
  • +design ~community
    Find rows that contain the word “design”, but if the row also contains the word “community”, rate it lower than if row does not.
  • +design +(>community <decisions)
    Find rows that contain the words “design” and “community”, or “design” and “decisions” (in any order), but rank “design community” higher than “design decisions”
  • design*
    Find rows that contain words such as “design”, “designs”, “designing”, or “designer”.
  • "some words"
    Find rows that contain the exact phrase “some words” (for example, rows that contain “some words of wisdom” but not “some noise words”). Note that the " characters that enclose the phrase are operator characters that delimit the phrase. They are not the quotation marks that enclose the search string itself.
