Analysis of Perceived Social Impacts of Existing Products Designed for the Developing World, With Implications for New Product Development
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2020)Engineered products often have more social impacts than are realized. A product review was conducted to bring this to light. In this paper, we show the extent to which different social impacts in 11 impact categories are ... -
Manufacturability Oriented Model Correction and Build Direction Optimization for Additive Manufacturing
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2020)We introduce a method to analyze and modify a shape to make it manufacturable for a given additive manufacturing (AM) process. Different AM technologies, process parameters, or materials introduce geometric constraints on ... -
Optimization of Part Consolidation for Minimum Production Costs and Time Using Additive Manufacturing
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2020)This research presents a method of optimizing the consolidation of parts in an assembly using metal additive manufacturing (MAM). The method generates candidates for consolidation, filters them for feasibility and structural ... -
A Method for Creating Product Social Impact Models of Engineered Products
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2020)All products impact the lives of their users, this is called social impact. Some social impacts are commonly recognized by the engineering community, such as impacts to a user’s health and safety, while other social impacts ... -
Evaluating the Use of Virtual Reality to Teach Introductory Concepts of Additive Manufacturing
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2020)Limited academic course offerings and high barriers to incorporate industrial additive manufacturing (AM) systems into education has led to an underserved demand for a highly skilled AM workforce. In this research, virtual ... -
A Deep Reinforcement Learning Approach for Global Routing
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2020)Global routing has been a historically challenging problem in the electronic circuit design, where the challenge is to connect a large and arbitrary number of circuit components with wires without violating the design rules ... -
Lie Group Based Type Synthesis Using Transformation Configuration Space for Reconfigurable Parallel Mechanisms With Bifurcation Between Spherical Motion and Planar Motion
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2020)This paper investigates novel reconfigurable parallel mechanisms with bifurcation between planar subgroup SE(2) and rotation subgroup SO(3) based on a transformation configuration space. Having recollected necessary ... -
Design for the Marketing Mix: The Past, Present, and Future of Market-Driven Engineering Design
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2020)The four Ps of the marketing mix (Product, Price, Place, and Promotion) serve as a framework for characterizing the marketing decisions made during the product development process. In this paper, we describe how the last ... -
An Exploration of Intermediary’s Role in Participatory Product Design at the Bottom of the Pyramid: The Case of Improvised Pedal-Operated Chaak
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2020)Design, development, and delivery of a new product to fulfill the needs and aspirations of marginalized people living at the bottom of the pyramid (BoP) is a challenging endeavor. This is challenging, as the dynamic ... -
Revisiting Flexibility in Design: An Analysis of the Impact of Implementation Uncertainty on the Value of Real Options
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2020)Flexible design, often embodied as Real Options, has proven valuable in sustaining system performance under operational uncertainty. By building “options,” decision-makers buy the right, but not the obligation, to upgrade ... -
Structured to Succeed? Strategy Dynamics in Engineering Systems Design and Their Effect on Collective Performance
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2020)Strategy dynamics are hypothesized to be a structural factor of interactive multi-actor design problems that influence collective performance and behaviors of design actors. Using a bi-level model of collective decision ... -
