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:
Lightweight design methods help the engineer to design lighter products. However, none of the existing methods support lightweight design with regard to the state of motion of mass and the mass distribution. This paper presents an analytic method to fill this gap. The method uses kinetic and potential energies to determine an energy level factor. This factor enables the engineer to derive an optimization potential and order of all different product assemblies. Finally, a case study is performed on a processing machine to illustrate the effectiveness of the developed method.
