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:
In a wider context of sustainable product engineering, this contribution presents an approach to a design catalogue consisting of mechatronic concepts and systems which can be used for weight reduction and weight distribution. Mechatronic solutions in different abstraction levels are classified and characterized with specific criteria and support designers during solution finding. It is possible to achieve a knowledge shift to earlier design phases and to reduce development time when taking this catalogue into account and get access to available lightweight design knowledge.
