TOWARDS A SYSTEM MODEL TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF DECISIONS
Dünser, T.; Meier, M. // 2004
For the evaluation of components in the design of complex systems, it is hard to determine both the evaluation criteria and their importance correctly. The paper introduces a new approach to ...
TOWARDS A THEORY OF PRODUCT DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS
Hansen, C. Thorp; Andreasen, M. Myrup // 2004
The product design specification is an important element in a product development project because it defines the target to be met. One requirement on the product design specification is to articulate ...
Towards building and sharing a common understanding of the integrated design field evolution
Mekhilef, M.; Stal le Cardinal, J.; Longueville, B.; McMahon, C. // 2004
Questions related to the emergence of new ideas, their density and location may be interesting when trying to understand the evolution of a given field. The design area is an "old" concept ...

TRACEABILITY IN PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Storga, M. // 2004
The main factors that make traceability difficult in designing are: complexity of design objects representations; multirelations and dependencies between design objects; fuzziness of design and ...
TRANSFER OF KNOWLEDGE AMONG DIFFERENT BRANCHES AT THE LEVEL OF CONSTRUCTIONAL STRUCTURE
Formanek, Josef // 2004
The objective of knowledge transfer is, among others, transfer of ideas and information about technical products ~ technical object systems (TS) and their components among different technical ...
Transfer of Knowledge among Different Branches on Levels of Modular Construction
Formanek, J. // 2004
TRANSFER OF KNOWLEDGE AMONG DIFFERENT BRANCHES WITH USE OF THE THEORY OF TECHNICAL SYSTEMS
Formanek, J.; Hosnedl, S. // 2004
The proposed paper will present the developed methodology for transfer of knowledge between two or more different branches. It comes out from the current knowledge of Engineering Design Science, ...
TREATMENT OF DECISION SITUATIONS IN THE DESIGN PROCESS
Höhne, G. // 2004
During the design process different decision situations arise at planning, managing and problem solving procedures. The aim of this contribution is to characterise the content and the characteristic ...
TRUSS DIMENSIONING WITH AN UNCERTAINTY REDUCTION PARADIGM
Yannou, B.; Hamdi, A. // 2004
Constraint Programming (CP) over reals are sophisticated evolutions of interval analysis well appropriate to model and propagate uncertainties between design and performance variables during the ...
TWO REVERSE ENGINEERING METHODS FOR THE RECONSTRUCTION OF AN HIGH SPEED CRAFT SURFACE: A COMPARISON
Gerbino, S.; Renno, F.; Papa, S. // 2004
The aim of the present work is to determine an optimal method for a virtual reconstruction, through Reverse Engineering (RE) techniques, of the hull of an high-speed craft (HSC).A laboratory has been ...
UNDERSTANDING COMPLEXITY OF PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT IN SMALL COMPANIES – A CASE STUDY
ELFVING, S. // 2004
USAGE RESEARCH IN THE DELFT DESIGN PROJECT ONTWERPEN 4

USER-CENTRIC EVOLUTIONARY DESIGN
Parmee, I. C.; Abraham, J.A. // 2004
The paper provides an overview of interactive evolutionary computing and describes aspects of user-centric evolutionary design systems relating to multi-objective satisfaction. Such systems generate ...
USING NET-SOFTWARE IN DESIGN EDUCATION
Baelus, C.; De Grande, G. // 2004
USING REAL-WORLD MULTIDISCIPLINARY DESIGN EXPERIENCES TO PREPARE YOUNG ENGINEERS TO ENTER TODAY'S WORKFORCE
Steiner, M. // 2004
USING REVERSE ENGINEERING TO SUPPORT PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES
Smith, G.; Claustre, T. // 2004
One of the major tools in concept design is the prototype model and one consequence of this is that engineers are faced with the challenge of converting prototype models into CAD models at the ...
VALUE CREATION AND MANAGEMENT IN A GRADUATE ENGINEERING SCHOOL
Bigand, M.; Yannou, B.; Davy, C.A. // 2004
VIRTUAL PHYSIOLOGICAL ANTHROPODYNAMICS
Muftić, O.; Milčić, D.; Baksa, S. // 2004
A new biomechanical three-dimensional (3D) model for the human body based on computer-generated virtual model is proposed. Using maps obtained from the special kinds of photos of the body of a real ...
VIRTUAL PROTOTYPING IN EARLY DESIGN PHASES TO DEVELOP ULTRA PRECISE MACHINES
// 2004
The paper presents an approach and innovative initial results of virtual prototyping for the development of ultra precise positioning and measuring machines in a changing market The basic concept is ...
VIRTUAL PROTOTYPING OF POSITIONING AND MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS FOR HIGHEST PRECISION APPLICATIONS
Höhne, G.; Brix, T.; Lotz, M. // 2004
The paper presents concepts for a computer-based design of positioning and measuring ma-chines as virtual prototypes to support a phase-overlapping multi-stage design. The basic con-cept is the ...
VIRTUAL PROTOTYPING OF SELF-OPTIMIZING MECHATRONIC SYSTEMS
Gausemeier, J.; Müller, W.; Paelke, V.; Bauch, J.; Shen, Q.; Radkowski ,R. // 2004

VISUALIZATION IN THE DESIGN PROCESS: INTRODUCING 2D AND 3D SKETCHING TECHNIQUES TO ENHANCE CREATIVE THINKING AND COMMUNICATION
Anderson, E.; Lilly, B. // 2004
VISUALIZATION OF THE MULTI-ATTRIBUTE DESIGN SPACE
Grubišić, I. // 2004
A multi-attribute design procedure results in relatively large number of Pareto optimal designs. Since every design is also defined by a set of parameters it is necessary to establish relations ...
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.
