Ontology-Based Multiplatform Identification Method
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2010)This paper puts forward a multiplatform identification method to overcome the limitations of a single platform strategy when mass customization is required. The method is applied to redesign or ... -
An Integrated Model of Designing
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2010)Current design models and frameworks describe various overlapping fragments of designing. However, little effort exists in consolidating these fragments into an integrated model. We propose a model ... -
Transformation Design Theory: A Meta-Analogical Framework
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2010)Electromechanical products and systems are often designed to transform or reconfigure between two or more states. Each state is customized to fulfill a specific set of functions, and the ... -
A System Framework With Online Monitoring and Evaluation for Design Evolution of Engineering Systems
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2010)This paper presents a methodology for the design evolution of engineering systems, with a mechatronic emphasis. The developed approach specifically integrates machine health monitoring and an ... -
3D Simulation of Manufacturing Defects for Tolerance Analysis
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2010)When a new product is designed in an industrial context, it must be possible to produce this product with the desired level of quality and at an acceptable cost for the market. One of the ... -
Quantifying the Effectiveness of Interventions in Workflows
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2010)Workflows are common in today’s business world, and are an integral part of current enterprise content management, product lifecycle management, and enterprise resource planning systems. When a ... -
PDQ (Product Data Quality): Representation of Data Quality for Product Data and Specifically for Shape Data
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2010)In the communication and sharing of product data, if the difference of the required data quality and the data quality actually incorporated into data is significant, it causes various problems. ... -
Hybrid Association Mining and Refinement for Affective Mapping in Emotional Design
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2010)Emotional design entails a bidirectional affective mapping process between affective needs in the customer domain and design elements in the designer domain. To leverage both affective and ... -
Case-Based Reasoning for Evolutionary MEMS Design
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2010)A knowledge-based computer-aided design tool for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) design synthesis called case-based synthesis of MEMS (CaSyn-MEMS) has been developed. MEMS-based technologies ... -
A Method for Function Dividing in Conceptual Design by Focusing on Linguistic Hierarchal Relations
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2010)In this study, we attempted to develop a method that applies the notion and technology of natural language processing for operating a function dividing process in conceptual design. We formulated ... -
A New Design Rationale Representation Model for Rationale Mining
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2010)The management of design rationale (DR) in engineering design is an important task since DR is often regarded as crucial information in design decision support and design analysis. The existing ... -
A Semantic Information Model for Capturing and Communicating Design Decisions
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2010)A semantic information model to improve reuse and communication of engineering design knowledge is presented in this paper. We consider design to be a process involving a sequence of decisions ... -
Topological Information Content and Expressiveness of Function Models in Mechanical Design
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2010)In this paper, two approaches for computing the topological information content of function models in mechanical engineering design are developed and compared. Previously, a metric for computing ... -
Impacting Designer Creativity Through IT-Enabled Concept Generation
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2010)One of the innovation’s fundamental mechanisms, designer creativity, is both unsupported by rigorous information-technology-enabled tools and uncharacterized as a scientific phenomenon. In this paper, ... -
A Constraint-Based Approach to the Composition Relation Management of a Product Class in Design
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2010)The choice of solution, which a systems architect is confronted with within the framework of a product structure definition, can very quickly prove to be a thorny problem owing to the possible ... -
In Search of Design Inspiration: A Semantic-Based Approach
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2010)Sources of inspiration help designers to define the context of their designs and reflect on the emotional impact of their new products. By observing and interpreting sources of inspiration, ... -
