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. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
Design of mechatronics is greatly challenging due to its multi-disciplinary nature. On one hand companies need to facilitate integration between engineering domains while they on the other hand need to manage dependencies created between the exact same domains as the development process progresses. This paper proposes a way to identify, model and clarify dependencies by use of a Mechatronic Integration Concept . The usefulness of the Mechatronic Integration Concept has been tested in an industrial development project showing positive results of shortening the lead-time, minimizing rework and increasing the performance of the product. The literature review on the topic of dependency modelling in mechatronic products seems to reveal a lack of proposals for how to represent the dependencies graphically which can facilitate cross-domain discussions.
