RISDevelopment of a Functional Basis for Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Functional models represent a form independent blueprint of a product. As with any blueprint or schematic, a consistent language or coding system is required to ensure others can read it. This ...
Enhancing Virtual Product Representations for Advanced Design Repository Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper describes the transformation of an existing set of heterogeneous product knowledge into a coherent design repository that supports product design knowledge archival and web-based search, ...
The Function-Failure Design Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: To succeed in the product development market today, firms must quickly and accurately satisfy customer needs while designing products that adequately accomplish their desired functions with a ...
Using a Design Repository to Drive Concept Generation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper describes how a design repository can be used as a concept generation tool by drawing upon archived function-based design knowledge. Modern design methodologies include several types ...
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, ...
A Component Taxonomy as a Framework for Computational Design Synthesis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, we present our findings on the development of a taxonomy for electromechanical components. In building this taxonomy, we have two main objectives: First, we strive to establish ...
Experimental Studies Assessing the Repeatability of a Functional Modeling Derivation Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents the results of research attempts to substantiate repeatability and uniqueness claims of a functional model derivation method following a hypothesis generation and testing ...
Integrating Life Cycle Assessment Into the Conceptual Phase of Design Using a Design Repository
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper describes efforts taken to further transition life cycle assessment techniques from the latter, more detailed phases of design to the early-on conceptual phase of product development. ...
A Signal Grammar to Guide Functional Modeling of Electromechanical Products
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In modern product design methodologies, designers are increasingly required to combine elements spanning multiple engineering domains, thus blurring the boundaries between engineering disciplines. ...
Exploring the Use of Functional Models in Biomimetic Conceptual Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The biological world provides numerous cases for analogy and inspiration. From simple cases such as hook and latch attachments to articulated-wing flying vehicles, nature provides many sources ...
