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:
Considering variations is essential for the development of robust products, but the applicability of existing robust design approaches in early stages is challenging due to the lack of product information and high levels of abstraction. To overcome this, a combined model is presented, which enables a holistic robustness evaluation in a linked approach. This approach uses the contact and channel approach to identify the relations between embodiment and functions as well as the robustness evaluation based on tolerance graphs. The combined model is implemented with the Systems Modeling Language (SysML) and applied to a coining machine use case. An initial assessment of the model combination and a proposal for a methodically supported workflow for the holistic robustness evaluation is given.
