EXPLORING INDUSTRIAL DESIGN MANUALS IN THE FINNISH ENGINEERING INDUSTRY
Hakatie, A.; Kosonen, E. // 2004
In Finnish business-to-business engineering industries, managing the industrial design function is an emerging question. Industrial design manuals and guidelines have been seen as one solution to ...
EXTENDED SUPPORT OF CONCEPTUAL DESIGN USING OPERATING STATES AND DIMENSIONING CASES
Wilhelms, Sören; Johansson, Per // 2004
This article focuses on conceptual design. In this phase, systematic design provides models for function analysis and concept synthesis. Little support exists though for early consideration of ...
EXTENDING THE C-K DESIGN THEORY TO PROVIDE THEORETICAL BACKGROUND FOR PERSONAL DESIGN ASSISTANTS
Kazakci, A. O.; Tsoukias, A. // 2004
We show that to operationalise the C-K design theory in the form of a computational tool, a third space, the environment space E, must be introduced. We propose such a version, the C/K/E theory by ...
FABRICATION OF SCAFFOLD STRUCTURES BY RAPID PROTOTYPING METHODS
Pelzer, R.; Ott, A. // 2004
The research group Fortepro is developing a process for the fabrication of custom-made implants with autogenous cells. These implants will replace bone defects at the head areas and the ...
FATIGUE ANALYSIS OF WELDED ALUMINIUM JOINTS WITH LONGITUDINAL AND ROUND STIFFENER SUBJECTED TO BENDING LOADS BY NOMINAL, STRUCTURAL AND NOTCH STRESS RANGE APPROACHES
Domazet, Ž.; Matić, T.; Krstulović, A. // 2004
Fatigue behaviour of welded aluminium joints with longitudinal and round stiffener subjected to bending loads are systematically investigated in this study. Fatigue analysis based on nominal stress ...
FLUID-SOLID INTERACTION IN DESIGN OF MULTIFUNCTIONAL SCREW MACHINES
Kovacevic, A.; Stosic, N.; Smith, I. K.; Mujic, E. // 2004
Screw machines operate either as compressors or expanders. Since these functions are accompanied by large pressure and temperature changes, the rotors deform. The calculation of this deformation is ...

HANDLING UNDESIRED FUNCTIONS DURING CONCEPTUAL DESIGN - A STATE - AND STATE -TRANSITION - BASED APPROACH
Bruch, C. // 2004
This paper presents a concept for identifying and processing undesired functions, originating from principle solutions, during conceptual design. Undesired functions affect a product either by ...
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.
