DESIGNING MECHATRONIC SYSTEMS: A MODEL-INTEGRATION APPROACH
Qamar, Ahsan; Wikander, Jan; During, Carl // 2011
Development of mechatronic products demands different types of design models in order to support both domain-independent specifications and domain-specific principles. This research aims to find out ...
DESIGNING PATENT PORTFOLIO FOR DISRUPTIVE INNOVATION – A NEW METHODOLOGY BASED ON C-K THEORY
Felk, Yacine; Le Masson, Pascal; Weil, Benoit; Cogez, Patrick; Hatchuel, Armand // 2011
In this paper we explore a key element of knowledge intensive innovation, the issue of patent generation. Whereas patent is often considered as a ‘by-product’ (output) of design activity, we focus on ...
DESIGNING SUSTAINABLE SOCIETY SCENARIOS USING FORECASTING
Mizuno, Yuji; Kishita, Yusuke; Wada, Haruna; Hirosaki, Maki; Fukushige, Shinichi; Umeda, Yasushi // 2011
Environmental problems such as resource depletion or climate change are the most serious problems for society and industry. In order to deal with such problems, scenario writing is a useful ...
DESIGNING WITH A SOCIAL CONSCIENCE: AN EMERGING AREA IN INDUSTRIAL DESIGN EDUCATION AND PRACTICE
Ramirez, Mariano // 2011
In recent decades, a growing number of those in the industrial design profession have shown concern for socio-ethical issues and pondering the impacts of their work on the planet and its peoples. ...
DESIGNING: INSIGHTS FROM WEAVING THEORIES OF COGNITION AND DESIGN THEORIES
Subrahmanian, Eswaran; Reich, Yoram; Smulders, Frido; Meijer, Sebastiaan // 2011
This paper addresses the issue of ‘What is designing?’ from an unconventional perspective and aims to advance our understanding of what design really is. Designing has been studied from different ...
DEVELOPING A DRAWING CULTURE: NEW DIRECTIONS IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION
de Vere, Ian; Kapoor, Ajay; Melles, Gavin // 2011
Sketching is integral to the design process, as it allows reflection in action, enables ambiguity and abstraction, encourages the unexpected, externalises mental imagery, and provokes creativity ...
DEVELOPING AN ECOLOGY OF MIND IN DESIGN
Dewberry, Emma Louise // 2011
The relationship between design and sustainability (DfS) is forever evolving: from the early focus on cleaner production processes and resource efficiencies to more recent endeavours to promote ...
DEVELOPMENT OF A FRAMEWORK FOR IMPROVING ENGINEERING PROCESSES
Pepe, Carla; Whitney, Daniel; Henriques, Elsa; Farndon, Rob; Moss, Michael // 2011
The complexity of designing products such as gas turbine components leads to enormous difficulties in understanding where the main design process inefficiencies are. It is extremely difficult to ...
DEVELOPMENT OF AN EVALUATION FRAMEWORK FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF PARAMETIC ASSOCIATIVE METHODS IN AN INDUSTRIAL CONTEXT
Salehi, Vahid; McMahon, Christopher A // 2011
This paper presents a study of the evaluation phase of a project that developed a new method to support parametric and associative computer-aided design, PARAMASS, in an automotive design context as ...
DEVELOPMENT OF ENGINEERING KNOWLEDGE MODELS TO ACHIEVE PRODUCT INNOVATION
Karlsson, Anna; Torlind, Peter // 2011
To pursue understanding of governing principles, observations of phenomena and simulation of processes instead of relying purely on trial-and-error, is becoming more and more important in product ...
DEVELOPMENT OF MODULAR PRODUCTS UNDER CONSIDERATION OF LIGHTWEIGHT DESIGN
Gumpinger, Thomas; Krause, Dieter // 2011
Whether it is the reduction of complexity during development or the individual configuration for the consumer, modular products do offer many benefits throughout their product lifecycle. Hence it is ...
DIMENSIONS OF OBJECTIVES IN INTERDISCIPLINARY PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
Albers, Albert; Lohmeyer, Quentin; Ebel, Bjoern // 2011
Interdisciplinary product development is a complex and uncertainty-affected system and objectives are central elements of it. In consequence the handling of these objectives, characterized by a high ...
DO BASIC SCHEMATA FACILITATE EMBODIMENT DESIGN?
ZŽavbi, Roman; Fain, Nusa; Rihtarsic, Janez // 2011
There is a positive correlation between the number of generated alternative product concepts and their quality. Many different approaches/methods/tools have been developed to facilitate synthesis of ...
DO FUNCTIONS EXIST?
Fantoni, Gualtiero; Apreda, Riccardo; Gabelloni, Donata; Bonaccorsi, Andrea // 2011
The paper proposes a model where functions are not considered as primitive objects in themselves but rather as a complex network of relationships between different, more fundamental ...

Boolean Searches
The following examples demonstrate some search strings that use boolean operators:
- design community
Find rows that contain at least one of the two words. - +design +community
Find rows that contain both words. - +design community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but rank rows higher if they also contain “community”. - +design -community
Find rows that contain the word “design” but not “community”. - +design ~community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but if the row also contains the word “community”, rate it lower than if row does not. - +design +(>community <decisions)
Find rows that contain the words “design” and “community”, or “design” and “decisions” (in any order), but rank “design community” higher than “design decisions” - design*
Find rows that contain words such as “design”, “designs”, “designing”, or “designer”. - "some words"
Find rows that contain the exact phrase “some words” (for example, rows that contain “some words of wisdom” but not “some noise words”). Note that the " characters that enclose the phrase are operator characters that delimit the phrase. They are not the quotation marks that enclose the search string itself.
