Knowledge Base Repository
In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters.

Abstract:
Product decomposition speeds up design stages, allows concurrent engineering and improves product quality. In the conceptual design stage, design teams focus separately on each subsystem and develop physical models (principle solution) which must meet some independent design requirements. But these requirements at the subsystems levels must be synthesized so as to meet at best the system performance targets. The paper applies a target cascading strategy to the optimization of the road noise performance of an automotive system. It focuses on how vibro-acoustic performance targets are specified and aggregated at a subsystem level (the front subframe) and how the current vibro-acoustic performances are assessed and optimized.
