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:
The conventional thermal design process for consumer electronics focusing exclusively on hardware is becoming insufficient for limiting thermal risk in the market. This study uses system modeling language (SysML) and a multiple- domain matrix (MDM) to examine the thermal design process at the system level, which comprises both hardware and software. The entire thermal design process is visualized using an MDM comprising design structure matrices for the function, performance, and structure of a product and the correlations between them. It is demonstrated through the trade-off study of image processor selection and a machine design that our proposed thermal design process can lead better product specifications in terms of thermal performance and parts cost.
