Design-by-Analogy: Exploring for Analogical Inspiration With Behavior, Material, and Component-Based Structural Representation of Patent Databases
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Design-by-analogy (DbA) is an important method for innovation that has gained much attention due to its history of leading to successful and novel design solutions. The method uses a repository of existing design solutions ...
Framework for the Evolution of Heuristics in Advanced Manufacturing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study works toward addressing a knowledge gap in understanding how heuristics are developed, retrieved, employed, and modified by designers. Having a better awareness of one’s own set of heuristics can be beneficial ...
Impact of Timing in the Design Process on Students’ Application of Design for Additive Manufacturing Heuristics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The goal of this work is to study the way student designers use design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) rules or heuristics. It can be challenging for novice designers to create successful designs for additive manufacturing ...
The Effect of Laser Cutting Heuristic Presentation Modality on Design Learning
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The goal of this work is to study the way student designers use heuristics to effectively design for laser-cut manufacturing methods. With the recent advent of academic makerspaces, digital fabrication tools like laser ...
Methods for the Automated Determination of Sustained Maximum Amplitudes in Oscillating Signals
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Machine condition monitoring has been proven to reduce machine downtime and increase productivity. The state-of-the-art research uses vibration monitoring for tasks such as maintenance and tool wear prediction. A less ...
Thinking Beyond the Default User: The Impact of Gender, Stereotypes, and Modality on Interpretation of User Needs
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Throughout the mechanical design process, designers, the majority of whom are men, often fail to consider the needs of women, resulting in consequences ranging from inconvenience to increased risk of serious injury or ...
Bio Inspired Design: An Overview Investigating Open Questions From the Broader Field of Design by Analogy
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Bioinspired design and the broader field of designbyanalogy have been the basis of numerous innovative designs throughout history; yet there remains much to be understood about these practices of design, their underlying ...
Discovering Structure in Design Databases Through Functional and Surface Based Mapping
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This work presents a methodology for discovering structure in design repository databases, toward the ultimate goal of stimulating designers through designbyanalogy. Using a Bayesian model combined with latent semantic ...
Design Principles: Literature Review, Analysis, and Future Directions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Design principles are created to codify and formalize design knowledge so that innovative, archival practices may be communicated and used to advance design science and solve future design problems, especially the pinnacle, ...
Characterizing the Effects of Multiple Analogs and Extraneous Information for Novice Designers in Design-by-Analogy
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study examines how the quantity of ideas and analog transfer in design-by-analogy (DbA) are affected by multiple analogs and extraneous information, or noise, using a between-subjects, factorial experiment. To evaluate ...
