RISModeling Aggregate Choice for Form and Function Through Metaconjoint Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the previous work, metaattributes have been used to model the relationship between two groups of disparate product attributes. There, preference for form, function, and the relationship between the two were modeled for ...
The Impact of Sustainability on Consumer Preference Judgments of Product Attributes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Despite significant interest from consumers, sustainable products often struggle to find success in the marketplace. This failure is frequently attributed to the perception that consumers remain unwilling to sacrifice ...
Taking the Guess Work Out of the Initial Guess: A Solution Interval Method for Least-Squares Parameter Estimation in Nonlinear Models
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Fitting a specified model to data is critical in many science and engineering fields. A major task in fitting a specified model to data is to estimate the value of each parameter in the model. Iterative local methods, such ...
Data-Driven Heuristic Induction From Human Design Behavior
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Through experience, designers develop guiding principles, or heuristics, to aid decision-making in familiar design domains. Generalized versions of common design heuristics have been identified across multiple domains and ...
Only as Strong as the Strongest Link: The Relative Contribution of Individual Team Member Proficiency in Configuration Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Prior research has demonstrated how the average characteristics of a team impact team performance. The relative contribution of team members has been largely ignored, especially in the context of engineering design. In ...
An Adversarial Agent-Based Design Method Using Stochastic Stackelberg Game Conditions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Products must often endure challenging conditions while fulfilling their intended functions. Game-theoretic methods can readily create a wide variety of these conditions to consider when creating designs. This work introduces ...
An Improved Shape Annealing Algorithm for the Generation of Coated Deoxyribonucleic Acid Origami Nanostructures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In recent years, the field of structural DNA nanotechnology has advanced rapidly due to transformative design tools. Although these tools have been revolutionary, they still bear one overall limitation of requiring users ...
A GPU-Based Parallel Region Classification Method for Continuous Constraint Satisfaction Problems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Continuous constraint satisfaction is prevalent in many science and engineering fields. When solving continuous constraint satisfaction problems, it is more advantageous for practitioners to derive all feasible regions ...
Experiential Conjoint Analysis: An Experience Based Method for Eliciting, Capturing, and Modeling Consumer Preference
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Traditionally, consumer preference is modeled in terms of preference for the aesthetic and functional features of a product. This paper introduces a new means to model consumer preference that accounts for not only for how ...
Exploring the Role of Interaction Effects in Visual Conjoint Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In conjoint analysis, interaction effects characterize how preference for the level of one product attribute is dependent on the level of another attribute. When interaction effects are negligible, a main effects fractional ...
