Toward Artificial Empathy for Human-Centered Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the early stages of the design process, designers explore opportunities by discovering unmet needs and developing innovative concepts as potential solutions. From a human-centered design perspective, designers must ...
Comparative Study of 2D and 3D Micromechanical Discrete Element Modeling of Indirect Tensile Tests for Asphalt Mixtures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Based on imaging and the discrete element method (DEM), this study mainly aims to compare the two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) micromechanical modeling of the indirect tensile (IDT) tests for asphalt mixtures. ...
Micromechanical Analysis of Asphalt-Mixture Shear Strength Using the Three-Dimensional Discrete Element Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study investigated the shear strength of asphalt mixtures and its influence factors by using a three-dimensional (3D) discrete-element method (DEM). The uniaxial penetration test, a shear strength test method for ...
InnoGPS for Data-Driven Exploration of Design Opportunities and Directions: The Case of Google Driverless Car Project
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Engineers and technology firms must continually explore new design opportunities and directions to sustain or thrive in technology competition. However, the related decisions are normally based on personal gut feeling or ...
Data-Driven Platform Design: Patent Data and Function Network Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A properly designed product-system platform seeks to reduce the cost and lead time for design and development of the product-system family. A key goal is to achieve a tradeoff between economy of scope from product variety ...
Machine Learning-Based Design Concept Evaluation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In order to develop novel solutions for complex systems and in increasingly competitive markets, it may be advantageous to generate large numbers of design concepts and then to identify the most novel and valuable ideas. ...
