Abstract: Conceptual design is an early stage in the product design process, which has an essential effect on product innovation. This paper is devoted to computational conceptual design utilizing design synthesis. After the functional ...

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to investigate the effects of heavy vehicles in through lanes and in left-turn lanes. Headway samples of 1,320 passenger cars and 722 heavy vehicles were measured in the field. Average headways ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with a concept of reconfiguration manipulability inspired from manipulability. The reconfiguration manipulability represents a shapechangeability of each intermediate link when a prior endeffector ...

Abstract: The applicability of existing automated compliance check tools in construction is limited, as they are insufficient to provide end-to-end responses given the fragmented and unstructured compliance checking requirements in ...

Abstract: Effective cooling structure design in the trailing edge (TE) of a high pressure turbine (HPT) blade is essential to increase turbine efficiency and maintain structural integrity. To obtain efficient cooling structures and ...
