In product development processes, the retrieval of the right product information at the right time is an important factor to maintain efficient and effective processes. Existing approaches use e.g. ...
Efficiency Assessment of an Evolutive Design System of Car Contours
Cluzel, François; Yannou, Bernard // 2009
So as to create innovative car silhouettes, we propose in this paper a model based on an Interactive Genetic Algorithm using an encoding of a design solution by a Fourier analysis approach. This ...
Elaboration of innovative safety equipment concepts for infants
Nelson, Julien; Buisine, Stéphanie; Aoussat, Améziane; Duchamp, Robert // 2009
Designing safety systems for infants poses several methodological problems. One consequence of these is that existing systems fail to effectively prevent accidents in this specific population. In ...
Electric Actuator Selection Design Aid for Low Cost Automation
Egbuna, C. Chukwudi; Basson, Anton Herman // 2009
The selection of cost effective and efficient actuators is challenging, particularly in Low Cost Automation (LCA). Often decisions are based on the designers' experience or on actuator ...
Embracing Ambiguity: A Perspective on Student Foresight Engineering
Shedletsky, Anna-Katrina; Campbell, Matthew; Havskjold, David // 2009
We propose that concept creation for foresight engineering design projects requires a modification of current pedagogy, because the scope is expansive and the final deliverable may never be fully ...

Engineering Change: Drivers, Sources, and Approaches in Industry
Eckert, Claudia; Clarkson, John; de Weck, Olivier; Keller, Rene // 2009
Engineering change is a fundamental part of all design activities at all stages of design. Most complex products are designed by modification from existing ones. Requirements change during long ...
Engineering Design by Integrated Diagrams
Aurisicchio, Marco; Bracewell, Rob // 2009
The Design Rationale editor (DRed), an IBIS derivative, originally developed to support the capture of design rationale, has progressively evolved into a tool to map a unified information space ...
Engineering Implications of Integrated Product Service Offerings
Lindahl, Mattias; Sakao, Tomohiko; Öhrwall Rönnbäck, Anna // 2009
In recent years there has been a shift from a product focus into a growing focus on the early stages of product development as well as service and business development. The objective of this paper is ...
Enhancing the Product Development Process via Design Progress and Knowledge Assets Management with Visual Design Evaluations
Pahng, Gundong Francis; Wall, Matthew // 2009
With the advance of IT infrastructure and computer-based engineering solutions in manufacturing enterprises, design engineers have at their disposal numerous computer-based tools and methods that ...
Establishment of an Open, Wiki-Based Online Resource for Collaboration in the Field of Product Family Design
Ciavola, Benjamin T.; Gershenson, John K. // 2009
Product and process platforming continues to be a fast growing and fertile field of research. To support collaboration in the field, we have developed a Wiki-based website that we hope provides a ...
Estimating Cost & Improving Trade-off between Performance and Cost at the Early Design Stages
Saravi, Mohammad; Newnes, Linda; Mileham, Tony; Goh, Yee-Mey // 2009
Typically 70% to 80% of a product's cost is said to have been committed by the end of the conceptual design stage [1]. Because of the importance of the conceptual stage, cost estimation should ...
Evaluation Models in Road Safety: A Systemic Roadmap
Fricheteau, Romain; Mekhilef, Mounib; Page, Yves; Hermitte, Thierry // 2009
The evaluation of the road safety actions' effectiveness is one of the main activities carried out in road safety research departments. Safety actions refer to security measures such as ...
Exercises for Cognitive Elements of Design Creativity
Kim, Yong Se; Lee, Sang Won; Park, Jung Ae; Jeong, Ji Yun // 2009
This paper discusses the development of a set of exercises to address the cognitive elements of creativity; fluency, flexibility, originality, elaboration and problem sensitivity. To foster the ...
Experience Concepts as a Tool for Fuzzy-Frontend in Engineering Design
Krzywinski, Jens; Drechsel, Frank; Woelfel, Christian // 2009
This paper aims to answer the question, to what extent industrial design methods are suitable for the use in the frontend of engineering design processes. The main focus is on the conceptual design ...

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.
