A GRAPH-BASED APPROACH TO CHECK A PRODUCT FUNCTIONAL NET
Rizzuti, S.; De Napoli, L.; Rocco, C. // 2006
In the conceptual design, a product can be viewed as a functional net, defined in the classic active verb-object way, by mean of functional elements and links associated to the flow of energy, ...
A MANAGEMENT MODEL FOR THE DESIGN PROCESS IN VEHICLE SAFETY DEVELOPMENT
Kreimeyer, M.; Neumüller, K.; Lindemann, U. // 2006
Management of development demands for focused decisions considering all major impacts onto the process. However, different activities in product development often remain with little structure. Common ...
A METHOD OF VALUE CUSTOMIZATION
Sakao, T.; Shimomura, Y.; Comstock, M.; Sundin, E. // 2006
The paper presents a method of value customization based on the modelling and design methods of Service Engineering. This aims at increasing satisfaction levels of customers. The method is remarkably ...
A METHOD TO CHART THE STRUCTURE OF DESIGNERS' CLAY MODELING PROCESSES
Wiegers, T.; Dumitrescu, R.; Song, Y.; Vergeest, J.S.M. // 2006
CAD is used for the design of nearly any product, but not often in the earliest phases of design. Physical modeling is still very popular for ideation. What makes physical modeling different ? A ...
A METHODOLOGY FOR VR SYSTEMS BENCHMARKING IN THE INDUSTRIAL DESIGN FIELD
Mengoni, M.; Germani, M.; Onori, R.; Pavani, F. // 2006
The majority of Virtual Reality applications developed today are either specific product oriented, not flexible enough to be implemented in every industrial design process to achieve complex real ...
A MODEL OF HUMAN SENSATIONS AS A BASIS FOR ‘DESIGN FOR PRODUCT-EMOTION’ SUPPORT
Fenech, O.C.; Borg, J.C. // 2006
User-product interaction is an emotional experience and products are nowadays being designed to address this emotional experience. Emotion-driven design is however a highly intricate activity, since ...

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.
