Digital representation of product functions in multicopter design
Ramsaier, Manuel; Holder, Kevin; Zech, Andreas; Stetter, Ralf; Rudolph, Stephan; Till, Markus // 2017
In recent years the research concerning the representation of product functions has intensified again. Current studies exhibit a growing interest of design engineers to apply such representations in ...
Directives to support the design of changeable (I)PSS
Pessôa, Marcus Vinicius Pereira; Becker, Juan Manuel Jauregui // 2017
Product service models (PSM) benefits are not limited to its providers and costumers, but the whole society might also take advantage from its sustainability impact. Achieving these benefits, though, ...
Discursive vs. intuitive - An experimental study to facilitate the use of design catalogues
Üreten, Selin; Krause, Dieter // 2017
Though shown to be of support to the designer, design method acceptance is still an issue to the design society today. Requirements and concepts in general derived from fundamental learning ...
Do biomimetic students think outside the box?
Lenau, Torben Anker // 2017
Biomimetics is a recognized method in ideation for getting access to new and – for the designer – novel knowledge, which hopefully will result in more novel and useful products. But do designers ...
Does prototype format influence stakeholder design input?
Deininger, Michael; Daly, Shanna; Sienko, Kathleen; Lee, Jennifer; Obed, Samuel; Effah Kaufmann, Elsie // 2017
This research investigates how prototype format, here defined as the physical nature of a prototype, influences feedback from stakeholders in the process of designing a medical device. We presented ...
Dropping concept bombs: Arguing for a knowledge-focused intervention in sketching to stimulate student engagement with visual thinking
Ranscombe, Charlie; Bissett-Johnson, Katherine; Kuys, Blair // 2017
Sketching is acknowledged as being a crucial tool in both exploring and representing ideas during the engineering design process. Despite this importance design educators experience difficulties in ...
Dynamic modelling of relationships in complex service design systems
Hassannezhad, Mohammad; Cassidy, Steve; Clarkson, P. John // 2017
Today’s market conditions such as globalisation and digitalisation have made it challenging to design an effective service system that can efficiently balance organisational service capacity and ...
Economic development as design: Insight and guidance through the PSI framework
Subrahmanian, Eswaran; Eckert, Claudia; McMahon, Christopher; Reich, Yoram // 2017
Economic development is aimed at improving the lives of people in the developing world, and needs to be carried out with design at its heart, but this has often not been the case. This paper first ...
Educational games for design and innovation: Proposition of a new taxonomy to identify perspectives of development
Cortes Sobrino, Ana (1); Bertrand, Miliane (2); Di Domenico, Enzo (2); Jean, Camille (2); Maranzana, Nicolas (2) // 2017
The main purpose of this paper is to present a new taxonomy to identify perspectives of development of educational games for design and innovation. To develop this proposal, we first presented a ...
Efficient application of MBSE using reference models: a PGE case study
Müller, Marvin; Schiffbänker, Paul; Albers, Albert; Braun, Andreas; Bursac, Nikola // 2017
Product engineering has become more and more complex, as there are multiple interrelated elements with high dynamic and variance. To support the work of designers and managers, various methodologies ...
Efficient application of optimization methods by using concurrent and simultaneous optimization
Wünsch, Andreas; Vajna, Sandor // 2017
The present paper addresses the research question of the efficient execution of optimization tasks in product development by using parallelization methods and by considering the existing resources ...
Ekphrasis as a design method
Gero, John // 2017
Ekphrasis is the expression of a concept that is represented in the medium of one domain in the medium of another domain. This paper presents the results from exploring the concept of ekphrasis as ...
Elements to the development of a creativity technique
Medeiros Leopoldino, Kleidson; Aguirre González, Mario; de Oliveira Ferreira, Paula; de Melo, David; de Vasconcelos, Rafael // 2017
Understood as a skill, and present at different levels in the human being, creativity can be developed spontaneously and not spontaneously. Spontaneously from the interaction between endogenous and ...
Eliciting configuration design heuristics with hidden Markov models
McComb, Christopher; Cagan, Jonathan; Kotovsky, Kenneth // 2017
Configuration design problems, characterized by the selection and assembly of components into a final desired solution, are common in engineering design. Although a variety of theoretical approaches ...
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.
