The Effect of Product Representation in Visual Conjoint Analysis
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)When most designers set out to develop a new product, they solicit feedback from potential consumers. These data are incorporated into the design process in an effort to more effectively meet customer requirements. Often ... -
The Effects of Gender and Idea Goodness on Ownership Bias in Engineering Design Education
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)Concept selection is a critical stage of the engineering design process because of its potential to influence the direction of the final design. While formalized selection methods have been developed to increase its ... -
An Exploratory Study of the Discovery and Selection of Design Methods in Practice
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)This work seeks to understand how design practitioners discover, select, and adapt design methods and methodologies. Design methods and methodologies are mainly used for educational purposes and are not formally transferred ... -
Design for Sustainable Use of Appliances: A Framework Based on User Behavior Observations
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)User behavior can determine over one third of the energy consumed in the residential energy market. Thus, user behavior has become a primary focus in sustainable mechanical device, appliance, and smart-energy systems design. ... -
Special Issue: Simulation-Based Design Under Uncertainty
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016) -
Comparing Ideation Techniques for Beginning Designers
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)Concept generation techniques can help to support designers in generating multiple ideas during design tasks. However, differences in the ways these techniques guide idea generation are not well understood. This study ... -
Reliability Analysis in the Presence of Aleatory and Epistemic Uncertainties, Application to the Prediction of a Launch Vehicle Fallout Zone
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)The design of complex systems often requires reliability assessments involving a large number of uncertainties and low probability of failure estimations (in the order of 10−4). Estimating such rare event probabilities ... -
Design Principles: Literature Review, Analysis, and Future Directions
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)Design principles are created to codify and formalize design knowledge so that innovative, archival practices may be communicated and used to advance design science and solve future design problems, especially the pinnacle, ... -
Discovery of Mental Metadata Used for Analogy Formation in Function-Based Design
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)Applying previous solutions to solve new problems is a core aspect of design, and designers routinely use informal analogies to solve a wide variety of design problems. However, when the goal is to consider a large quantity ... -
Validating Dynamic Engineering Models Under Uncertainty
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)Validating dynamic engineering models is critically important in practical applications by assessing the agreement between simulation results and experimental observations. Though significant progresses have been made, the ... -

Impact of Tooth Indexing Errors on Dynamic Factors of Spur Gears: Experiments and Model Simulations
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)This paper investigates the influences of tooth indexing errors on dynamic factors of spur gears. An experimental study is performed using root strain measurements to (i) establish baseline dynamic behavior of gears having ... -
Design, Modeling and Testing of a Two Terminal Mass Device With a Variable Inertia Flywheel
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)In this paper, we present a flywheel that can adaptively generate variable equivalent mass in response to application requirements. The motivation for the design comes from the need to achieve passive inertial mass, which ... -
Extension Effects in Compliant Joints and Pseudo Rigid Body Models
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)Compliant members come in a variety of shapes and sizes. While thin beam flexures are commonly used in this field, they can be replaced by soft members with lower aspect ratio. This paper looks to study the behavior of ... -
Multi Objective Optimization With Multiple Spatially Distributed Surrogates
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)In engineering design optimization, evaluation of a single solution (design) often requires running one or more computationally expensive simulations. Surrogate assisted optimization (SAO) approaches have long been used ... -
A Projection Based Approach for Constructing Piecewise Linear Pareto Front Approximations
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)Reallife design problems often require simultaneous optimization of multiple conflicting criteria resulting in a set of best tradeoff solutions. This best tradeoff set of solutions is referred to as Pareto optimal front ... -
Machining Setting Optimization for Formateآ® Face Hobbing of Bevel Gears With the Cutting Force and Tool Wear Constraints
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2016)Trial and error experiments are the dominant approaches to select machining settings and also cutting system design in facehobbing of bevel gears. These timeconsuming experimental tests impose undesired costs to industries. ...
