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 ... -
Synthesis and testing of eco-friendly, non-toxic cutting fluid emulsions
The evolutions in the development of metal working fluid (MWF) from petroleum based products have brought remarkable changes to the present growing machining industry. The established MWF/Cutting fluids have reduced the ... -
Synthesis of Conceptual Designs for Sensors
(2017-11-24)A computer-aided technique is developed in this thesis to systematically generate concepts for sensors of a wide variety. A database of building blocks, based on physical laws and effects that capture the transduction rules ... -
Towards Automated Design of Toggle Switch Mechanisms
(2017-09-20)This work deals with addressing the issues related to design of double toggle switch mechanisms with emphasis on structural, dimensional and dynamic aspects. Currently, almost all the issues related to electrical switches ... -
Understanding And Supporting Conceptual Design Synthesis Of Multiple State Mechanical Devices
(2015-08-07)Conceptual design synthesis is part of the conceptual phase of the design process, which focuses on creating alternative, candidate solutions. Conceptual design phase has the greatest influence on the cost and characteristics ... -
Understanding Context In Designing
(2009-05-25)Everything around us that is not a simple untouched piece of nature has been designed by someone. Human society has found a great refuge in these designed objects or the artefacts, and thus has adapted vociferously to their ... -
Understanding Knowledge Needs And Processes In Design
(2011-01-31)In this knowledge economy, organizations are leveraging their competence through the knowledge they possess. Managing knowledge will potentially retain the competence held by the organization if knowledge generated across ...
