RISMaking Sense of Elegant Complexity in Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The complexity of many large-scale systems is outpacing our ability to effectively design, analyze, and manage such systems. Projects such as the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, the Boeing Dreamliner, ...
The Impact of Process Architecture on Equilibrium Stability in Distributed Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In distributed design processes, individual design subsystems have local control over design variables and seek to satisfy their own individual objectives, which may also be influenced by some ...
A Method to Ensure Preference Consistency in Multi-Attribute Selection Decisions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A number of approaches for multi-attribute selection decisions exist, each with certain advantages and disadvantages. One method that has recently been developed, called the hypothetical equivalents ...
Collaborative, Decentralized Engineering Design at the Edge of Rationality
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: One perspective of a design process in the engineering design community is that it is largely a process marked and defined by a series of decisions. The fundamental assumption in most developed ...
A Formal Approach to Handling Conflicts in Multiattribute Group Decision Making
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Supporting the decision of a group in engineering design is a challenging and complicated problem when issues like consensus and compromise must be taken into account. In this paper, we present ...
A Comprehensive Robust Design Approach for Decision Trade-Offs in Complex Systems Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper we introduce a technique to reduce the effects of uncertainty and incorporate flexibility in the design of complex engineering systems involving multiple decision-makers. We focus ...
Motion Simulation Experiments for Driver Behavior and Road Vehicle Dynamics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper discusses the design and development of a motion-based driving simulation and its integration into driving simulation research. The integration of the simulation environment into a ...
Multi-Attribute Decision Making Using Hypothetical Equivalents and Inequivalents
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, the problem of selecting from among a set of alternatives using multiple, potentially conflicting criteria is discussed. A number of approaches are commonly used to make these ...
A Framework for Flexible Systems and Its Implementation in Multiattribute Decision Making
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, a framework for the concept of flexibility in complex system design is presented. This is one of the first of many steps toward developing new design methods for designers ...
Evaluating the Use of Digital Product Repositories to Enhance Product Dissection Activities in the Classroom
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Product dissection has been used successfully in a variety of ways to actively engage students in their learning; however, using product dissection in the classroom does have drawbacks: products, ...
