Abstract: To obtain better fluid mixing and higher heat transfer in the low Reynolds number regime, various wavy fins are employed in heat sinks (heat exchangers) for electronic cooling applications. However, it was reported in ...

Abstract: In the early stages of the product design, multiple principle solutions are obtained through function solving, and a large number of conceptual schemes are generated by combination. Therefore, scheme decisions are important ...

Abstract: The unsteady characteristics of the velocity field around the tongue of the volute in a centrifugal fan with forward-curved blades were investigated by time-resolved particle image velocimetry and mode decomposition analysis, ...

Abstract: Concept evaluation is the core stage of new product development and has a significant impact on the downstream process of product development. Because of the uncertainty and ambiguity of early design information, the concept ...

Abstract: The critical problem of reliability design is how to obtain a more accurate failure probability with a smaller number of evaluations of actual complex and nonlinear performance function. To achieve this objective, an ...

Abstract: A new structure with negative stiffness and negative Poisson’s ratio was designed to exhibit these characteristics during compression, energy absorption, and energy storage. The structure also shows improved impact resistance ...

Abstract: Abstract. Design concept evaluation (DCE) is a crucial stage in new product development, significantly influencing downstream design and manufacturing processes. However, the subjectivity, heterogeneity, and potential ...
