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 ...
USING NET-SOFTWARE IN DESIGN EDUCATION
Baelus, C.; De Grande, G. // 2004
USING REAL-WORLD MULTIDISCIPLINARY DESIGN EXPERIENCES TO PREPARE YOUNG ENGINEERS TO ENTER TODAY'S WORKFORCE
Steiner, M. // 2004
USING REVERSE ENGINEERING TO SUPPORT PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES
Smith, G.; Claustre, T. // 2004
One of the major tools in concept design is the prototype model and one consequence of this is that engineers are faced with the challenge of converting prototype models into CAD models at the ...
VALUE CREATION AND MANAGEMENT IN A GRADUATE ENGINEERING SCHOOL
Bigand, M.; Yannou, B.; Davy, C.A. // 2004
VIRTUAL PHYSIOLOGICAL ANTHROPODYNAMICS
Muftić, O.; Milčić, D.; Baksa, S. // 2004
A new biomechanical three-dimensional (3D) model for the human body based on computer-generated virtual model is proposed. Using maps obtained from the special kinds of photos of the body of a real ...
VIRTUAL PROTOTYPING IN EARLY DESIGN PHASES TO DEVELOP ULTRA PRECISE MACHINES
// 2004
The paper presents an approach and innovative initial results of virtual prototyping for the development of ultra precise positioning and measuring machines in a changing market The basic concept is ...
VIRTUAL PROTOTYPING OF POSITIONING AND MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS FOR HIGHEST PRECISION APPLICATIONS
Höhne, G.; Brix, T.; Lotz, M. // 2004
The paper presents concepts for a computer-based design of positioning and measuring ma-chines as virtual prototypes to support a phase-overlapping multi-stage design. The basic con-cept is the ...
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 IN THE DESIGN PROCESS: INTRODUCING 2D AND 3D SKETCHING TECHNIQUES TO ENHANCE CREATIVE THINKING AND COMMUNICATION
Anderson, E.; Lilly, B. // 2004
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 ...

Gill, C. // 2004
WEB-BASED MULTINATIONAL DESIGN EDUCATION
Leibl, Peter; Kuosmanen, Petri; Bargelis, Algirdas // 2004
Increased internationalisation in industry, schools and universities has given the possibility and, at the same time, put the pressure to share the best practises in teaching and learning. The ...
WEIGHT REDUCTION OF SUPPORT STRUCTURES
Eerme, Martin; Enok, Mart; Roosimölder, Lembit; Rein, K. // 2004
In modem engineering industry the weight reduction of support structures of machines is important. One possibility to reduce the weight of the support structures is to use sandwich configuration. ...

WHO AM I AND WHERE AM I? - SWITCHING AND STITCHING IN THE DIGITAL AGE
Smyth, M.; Raijmakers, B.; Munro, A. J. // 2004
This paper will introduce the concept of human identity. It will focus on how the creation, maintenance and communication of identity could be supported by technology. Initially a series of human ...
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.
