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:
This paper proposes a methodical framework for developing functional surfaces and coatings for circular automotive applications. It addresses three gaps: the missing classification of surface mechanisms, limited empirical PSPP models, and the lack of an integrated link between microstructural surface design and system-level development. The framework connects top-down design with bottom-up materials engineering, introduces working-principle analogues in design catalogues, and offers the use of DoE and sensitivity analysis to build predictive PSPP models.
