A Computationally Assisted Methodology for Preference-Guided Conceptual Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We present an interactive, computationally assisted, methodology for capturing and incorporating designer preferences into a numerical search for design concepts. An initial pool of manually created ...
Metrics for Evaluating the Barrier and Time to Reverse Engineer a Product
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Reverse engineering, defined as extracting information about a product from the product itself, is a common industry practice for gaining insight into innovative products. Both the original ...
Propagating Skewness and Kurtosis Through Engineering Models for Low-Cost, Meaningful, Nondeterministic Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: System models help designers predict actual system output. Generally, variation in system inputs creates variation in system outputs. Designers often propagate variance through a system model by ...
Design Space Exploration for Quantifying a System Model’s Feasible Domain
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A major challenge in multidisciplinary system design is predicting the effects of design decisions at the point these decisions are being made. Because decisions at the beginning of system ...
Hybrid Bishop-Hill Model for Elastic-Yield Limited Design With Non-orthorhombic Polycrystalline Metals
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A method is presented for adapting the classical Bishop-Hill model to the requirements of elastic/yield-limited design in metals of arbitrary crystallographic texture. The proposed Hybrid Bishop-Hill ...
Capitalizing on Heterogeneity and Anisotropy to Design Desirable Hardware That is Difficult to Reverse Engineer
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a method for treating material microstructure (crystallographic grain size, orientation, and distribution) as design variables that can be manipulated—for common or exotic ...
Configuration Selection, Modeling, and Preliminary Testing in Support of Constant Force Electrical Connectors
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The recent introduction and advancements in design of simple, constant-force mechanisms have created the potential for small-scale, low-cost, constant-force electronic connectors (CFECs). CFECs differ ...
Efficient Propagation of Error Through System Models for Functions Common in Engineering
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: System modeling can help designers make and verify design decisions early in the design process if the model’s accuracy can be determined. The formula typically used to analytically propagate ...
