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:
There is an increasing need for products that are able to react to changing operating conditions and user demands to achieve high level performance. Adaptronic solutions are able to adapt system properties during the operation of the system without major effects on system weight and size when they are applied in early phases of the design process. Since adaptive system design often results in higher effort, this contribution points out drivers for goal-oriented application of smart materials. The drivers are derived from a literature study and divided into solution and use-related drivers.
