Acquiring diagnostic knowledge from documents to predict issues in aircraft assembly
Expert knowledge is important in a product's lifecycle, especially during the manufacturing part of the lifecycle. Most of such knowledge is obtained through experience and its reuse can help prevent potential issues in ... -
A Computational Platform For Automated Identification Of Building Blocks In Mechanical Design For Enhancing Ideation
(2016-09-09)Conceptual design is an early stage in the design process, in which functional requirements of a design problem are transformed into solution concepts for satisfying the requirements. It is regarded as a crucial step in ... -
Developing A Dialogue Based Knowledge Acquisition Method For Automatically Acquiring Expert Knowledge To Diagnose Mechanical Assemblies
(2013-06-20)Mechanical assembly is an important step during product realization, which is an integrative process that brings together the parts of the assembly, the people performing the assembly and the various technologies that are ... -
Development of Support for Assessment of Creativity, Novelty and Requirement Satisfaction in Designing
The topic of this research in this thesis is creativity assessment of solutions developed in the engineering design process as a means of aiding designers to focus their creative effort during the process. Both engineering ... -
Exploration of Design Thinking in School Education
This thesis comprehensively investigates the integration of design thinking into education, focusing on its application in K-12 settings in India. The broad aims of the research work are: 1. To investigate the need to ... -
An Extended Integrated Model Of Designing
(2014-06-20)Product success is a major goal of designing and design research. Designing involves developing systems. A system interacts with its environment to satisfy its requirements. Therefore, designing should involve developing ... -
An Integrated Framework for Supporting Decision Making During Early Design Stages on End-of-Life Product Disassembly
(2017-10-31)Product life cycle (PLC) is the cycle which every product goes through from introduction to eventual demise. There are several issues with the current life cycle of a product when looked from the environmental impact ... -
An Interactive Support For Developing Environmentally Friendly Product Lifecycles
(2011-08-04)Products make substantial impact on environment. Design for Environment (DfE) is an approach to design where all the environmental impacts of a product are considered over entire products life. Since over 80% of the product ... -
Operationalising Sustainability in Smart Manufacturing Systems: A Model-Based Approach
This dissertation addresses the need for sustainability in manufacturing industries by leveraging digitalization and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). The research presents a comprehensive framework for operationalizing ... -
Supporting Concept Representation, Synthesis, and Analysis of Multi-state Mechanical Devices
‘Design’ is a means of changing existing situations into preferred ones. The engineering design process has been broadly classified into four stages: task clarification, conceptual design, embodiment design and detail ... -
Supporting Designers in Generating Novel Ideas at the Conceptual Stage Using Analogies from the Biological Domain
The aim of this research is to support designers in novel idea generation using design-by-analogy method, in particular, by using analogies from the biological domain. The motivation behind this research is to aid designers ... -
Supporting Environmentally-benign Design at Conceptual Stage
An ‘environmentally-benign design’ is defined as that which causes little or no harm to the natural environment and may be achieved by reducing the environmental impact of the design solutions conceptualised, to be ... -
Supporting Novelty In Conceptual Phase Of Engineering Design
(2013-10-08)Current design models, approaches and theories are highly fragmented, have seldom been compared with one another, and rarely attempted to be consolidated. Novelty is a measure of creativity of engineering products and ... -
Supporting Real-Time, Automated Evaluation of Difficulty in Manual Assembly
(2018-08-29)Product designers address the costs of assembly during the design process. Design process can be more efficient if assembly issues could be addressed early in its design process. Doing this requires the ability to assess ... -
Sustainability by Design : A Descriptive Model of Interaction and a Prescriptive Framework for Intervention
(2017-11-13)Introduction: Sustainability is humanity’s collective ability to sustain development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their own needs. Preceding closely ... -
