A NEW ADAPTABLE RAPID PROTOTYPING & MANUFACTURING APPROACH FOR PRODUCING A VARIETY OF FOAM-BASED PRODUCT SOLUTIONS
Aitchison, David R.; Sulaiman, Riza // 2004
Rapidly changing consumer and engineering product market trends have dictated the need for manufacturers to produce goods that can either be readily configured to the shilling market and/or be ...
A NEW APPROACH FOR GESTURE-BASED SKETCHING
Diehl, H.; Lindemann, U.; Müller, F.; Schneider, S. // 2004
Tools for engineering design like CAD don´t support creativity in the early design phases. Instead, paper based sketches are still the conceptual designer’s first choice for fixing his ideas. ...
A NEW CONCEPT OF SUPPORTING COMPLEX MODEL BUILDING IN VAGUE DISCRETE INTERVAL MODELLING
Rusák, Z.; Horváth, I. // 2004
To support shape conceptualization vague discrete interval modelling is proposed. Dedicated operators (i.e. positioning and constrained instantiation operators) are being developed to assist the ...

Tschimmel, K. // 2004
A NEW LIFE CYCLE MODEL FOR THE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN PROCESS
Coatanea, Eric; Areille, Jean V. // 2004
Life cycle considerations and design options are hardly quantitatively taken into consideration during the conceptual design phase. In order to provide the type of information required to make ...
A NEW METHOD FOR SELECTION AND DESIGN OF COMPOSITE ELEMENTS FOR IMPACT LOADING
Dobrucki, K.; Rohatynski, R. // 2004
The proposed method brings together routines of geometry modeling, properly designed experiments, computer identification of the structure dynamic response, and the determination of a mathematical ...
A PROCESS MODEL FOR DESIGNING FUZZY PRODUCT STRUCTURES
Maurer, M.; Pulm, U.; Lindemann, U. // 2004
The strategy of mass customization tries to satisfy each customer with his individual designed product and to keep up with mass produced products in product quality, prices, and delivery time. To ...
A Requirement - Driven Product Development Process
Andersson, Kjell // 2004
A REVIEW ON THE RELEVANCE OF DESIGN SCIENCE IN A GLOBAL PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT ARENA
SHELDON, D. F. // 2004
A SOFT COMPUTING METHODOLOGY APPLIED TO ABS
Fargione, G.; Tringali, D. // 2004
The aim of this paper is to create a new ABS (Antilock Braking System) control system of a Soft-Computing type, on the grounds of the excellent results obtained in the field of automobiles in former ...
A SOFTWARE BASED SYSTEM TO SUPPORT THE DESIGN FOR DISASSEMBLY
Gries, B.; Blessing, L. // 2004
In this paper, the current state of a software based system to support the design for disassembly is presented. This system, called “Design Support System”, is based on a common partial product model ...
A STANDARDISING APPROACH TO DESCRIBE AND TO COMPARE DESIGN MODELS FOR MECHATRONICS
Moehringer, S. // 2004
A variety of design models influence the proceeding in mechatronics. Facing the number of existing design models and their heterogeneous representation it is difficult to identify and to compare the ...
A STATE SPACE APPROACH TO THE MANAGEMENT OF CONCURRENT DESIGN TASKS IN THE DESIGN OF A SYMMETRICAL WOBBLE PLATE COMPRESSOR
ONG, K. L.; MUSA, M. N.; ABDUL-LATIF, A. // 2004
A STUDY OF STUDENT LEARNING IN DESIGN PROJECTS
Ion, w.; Stone, a.; Grierson, H.; Juster, N.; Wodehouse, A. // 2004
A STUDY OF THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS IN THE NORWEGIAN MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY
Hilmes, Richard; Lien, Terje Kristoffer // 2004
A reorganization of the production process from mainly manual to automated manufacturing and assembly is expected in the Norwegian goods producing industry in the future. Two trends that have been ...
A STUDY REGARDING THE USE OF METHODOLOGY DURING A DESIGN PROCESS
Koch, M.; Meerkamm, H. // 2004
The design methodology is assumed to be known and used during every process of design. But very often theory and practice differ in many points. To make these points clear this paper monitors a ...
A THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING OF ENGINEERING DESIGN METHODS AND TOOLS
Prudhomme, G.; Brissaud, D.; Vignat, F. // 2004
A VR/KM INTEGRATED PLATFORM FOR SUPPORTING INTEROPERABILITY IN CONCEPT DESIGN
Ucelli, G.; De Amicis, R.; Conti, G. // 2004
In the rapidly growing global economy car manufacturers now require quality, innovation and short time to market to win the increasing competition. This is traduced in the need for optimization of ...
ACHIEVING FIRST DESIGN EXPERIENCES
Jänsch, J.F.P.; Sauer, T.; Birkhofer, H. // 2004
Design students often do not have the chance to gain the first project experiences at university. They learn about design methods, project management and many other engineering subjects. However, ...
ACTION ORIENTATION OF METHODS TO SUPPORT ENGINEERING DESIGN
LINDEMANN, U. // 2004
ADAPTING A DESIGN PROCESS TO A NEW SET OF STANDARDS – A CASE STUDY FROM THE RAILWAY INDUSTRY
Meissner, M.; Meyer-Eschenbach, A.; Blessing, L. // 2004
Since coming into effect in 1999, EN 50126 ff. define procedures for the management of the reliability, availability, maintainability and safety (RAMS) of railway applications. As a result, companies ...
ADAPTIVE SYSTEM MANAGEMENT
Naumann, T.; Vajna, S. // 2004
This paper considers product development as a complex, dynamic system. Within this system, certain characteristics of an object system are synthesised within several processes by an action system in ...
Adaptive systems management
Naumann, T.; Vajna, S. // 2004
New approaches start mostly with the formulation of global objectives for the development of products, i.e. the reduction of development time and costs while improving the quality simultaneously. ...
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.
