This contribution describes an approach to analyse the impacts of engineering changes using a new form of representing the Characteristics-Properties Modelling/Property-Driven Development (CPM/PDD) ...

A MODEL OF CK DESIGN THEORY BASED ON TERM LOGIC: A FORMAL CK BACKGROUND FOR A CLASS OF DESIGN ASSISTANTS

Kazakci ,A. O.; Hatchuel, A.; Weil, B. // 2008
The paper addresses concept-knowledge (C-K) design theory. C-K theory explains design as the interaction between available knowledge (K space) and concepts (C space - propositions that are neither ...

A MODULARIZATION METHOD IN THE EARLY PHASE OF PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Albers, A.; Burkardt, N.; Sauter, C.; Sedchaicharn, K. // 2008
A modular product architecture possesses many advantages required as one of the design goals. Most of the modularization methods focus on the redesign of existing products, in which a dependency ...

A NEW APPROACH TO IMPLEMENT THE REACH DIRECTIVE IN ENGINEERING DESIGN

Brissaud, D.; Lemagnen, M.; Mathieux, F. // 2008
The REACh regulation (Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals) has to be applied since 01/06/2007 (mandatory from 01/06/2009) by all the companies in Europe. It gives a new framework ...

A NEW KNOWLEDGE BASED APPROACH THE REVERSE ENGINEERING OF A PRODUCT

Durupt, A.; Remy, S.; Ducellier, G.; Derigent, W. // 2008
Current (RE) approaches are based on frozen models (parametric surface approaches) and are hardly re-usable. Consequently, the possibility of re-engineering or re-design does not exist. This paper ...

A Novel Design Education Approach for Professional Global Product Realization

Fain, Nuša; Moes, Niels; van Doorn, Ellemieke; Duhovnik, Jože // 2008

A PLM APPROACH INTEGRATING ULM (USAGE LYFECYCLE MANAGEMENT)

Chapotot, E.; Merlo, C.; Legardeur, J.; Girard, P. // 2008
Nowadays, product ‘usages’ in competitive market are a rich source of knowledge for designers. This interest for ‘usages’ appears since the 90’s but today this phenomenon gaining emphasis. In this ...

A PROPOSAL FOR THE USE OF DIAGRAMS OF UML FOR MECHATRONICS ENGINEERING

Johar, A.; Stetter, R. // 2008
The paper intends to explore the use of the diagrams of UML (unified modeling language) in the product development process of mechatronical products. The analyzed product development process concerns ...

A RADICAL IMPROVEMENT OF SOFTWARE BUGS DETECTION WHEN AUTOMATING THE TEST GENERATION PROCESS

Awedikian, R.; Yannou, B.; Lebreton, P.; Bouclier, L.; Mekhilef, M. // 2008
Software bugs are a direct indicator of software quality. Whereas competition and globalisation are fierce, introducing fewer bugs and detecting bugs earlier in the development process become one of ...

A REVIEW OF THE FUNDAMENTALS OF SYSTEMATIC ENGINEERING DESIGN PROCESS MODELS

Motte, D. // 2008
In this paper it is shown that the central features of systematic engineering design process models: a step-by-step concretisation of the product with a systematic variation of subsolutions and ...

A SIMULATED MODEL OF SOFTWARE SPECIFICATIONS FOR AUTOMATING FUNCTIONAL TESTS DESIGN

Awedikian, R.; Yannou, B.; Lebreton, P.; Bouclier, L.; Mekhilef, M. // 2008
Nowadays, it becomes crucial to carmakers and automotive electronics suppliers to ensure a high software quality. Although many methods have been proposed in software engineering, they are, most of ...

A SYSTEM FOR HAPTIC TOLERANCE ANALYSIS REGARDING NON-IDEAL GEOMETRY

Wittmann, S.; Stockinger, A.; Stoll, T.; Paetzold, K. // 2008
Incomplete or wrong definition of tolerances can cause aesthetic and functional problems. In a virtual environment the visual representation is not precise enough to reveal small deviations. ...

A SYSTEMIC ANALYSIS OF OLDER DRIVERS REQUIREMENTS TO GATHER KNOWLEDGE TO BE USED BY DESIGN ENGINEERS

Flöck ,C.; Le Cardinal, J.; Mekhilef, M. // 2008
The challenge of our very next future is to design cars that face the specific needs of the growing number of older drivers. We suggest an approach that takes into account the whole system. Beside ...

Boolean Searches

The following examples demonstrate some search strings that use boolean operators:

  • design community
    Find rows that contain at least one of the two words.
  • +design +community
    Find rows that contain both words.
  • +design community
    Find rows that contain the word “design”, but rank rows higher if they also contain “community”.
  • +design -community
    Find rows that contain the word “design” but not “community”.
  • +design ~community
    Find rows that contain the word “design”, but if the row also contains the word “community”, rate it lower than if row does not.
  • +design +(>community <decisions)
    Find rows that contain the words “design” and “community”, or “design” and “decisions” (in any order), but rank “design community” higher than “design decisions”
  • design*
    Find rows that contain words such as “design”, “designs”, “designing”, or “designer”.
  • "some words"
    Find rows that contain the exact phrase “some words” (for example, rows that contain “some words of wisdom” but not “some noise words”). Note that the " characters that enclose the phrase are operator characters that delimit the phrase. They are not the quotation marks that enclose the search string itself.
