The paper presents some typical fatigue damages in industry and transport that were investigated by FESB Laboratory for Fatigue: the fatigue cracks and failures in large gear wheel of cement mill, ...
Feature reconstruction for freeform surface design
Song, Y.; Vergeest, J.S.M.; Dumitrescu, R. // 2002
In the conceptual design phase, designers not only require an easy way to construct a freeform surface, but also need to modify it intuitively. In this paper, a feature based freeform surface design ...

Finding Tomorrow Today
Samperi, J.; Hollins, B.; Holdway, R. // 2002
In spite of the importance of a long-term view having been promoted in the literature, very little research has been undertaken to identify which companies are doing it. Even less research has shown ...
Flexible Adaptation of Methods within the Design Process
Lindemann, U. // 2002
The focus of this paper is based on an engineer's view on working methods in design and development. Authors have described basic methods like TOTE, elementary methods like 'compare', ...
Forming a Base for a Manufacturing System Design and Evaluation Method
Karlsson, A. // 2002
In this paper, a base for a manufacturing system design and evaluation method is proposed. The main goal within the project is to create a method that addresses important aspects with manufacturing ...
Four-Bar Linkage Design Using Global Optimization Approach
Krašna, S.; Ciglaric, I.; Prebil, I. // 2002
The paper discusses optimal synthesis of the four-bar mechanism. The general optimization problem is addressed in the form of nonlinear programming problem. The objective of this approach is to ...
Freeform Shape Manipulation Using Context-Dependent Constraints and Parameters
Wiegers, T.; Dumitrescu, R.; Vergeest, J. S. M. // 2002
A method was developed to investigate which shape modification activities are performed during early design. We compared how designers ideally could create shape, to how they do it in practice, when ...
From Business to Buttons
Balic, M.; Berndtsson, J.; Ottersten, I.; Aldman, M. // 2002
This paper describe a practitioner’s tool called Goal Cards. The aim is to bridge the gap between the expected business values when investing in the product and the actual design of the product. ...
From Function to Form Using Physical Reasoning
Žavbi, R.; Hansen, C. T. // 2002
The goal of engineering design is to design a product, which fulfils a required function. The Domain theory and chaining of physical laws (way to synthesise solutions) offer a possibility to propose ...
Gear Pump Design: Optimization for Delivery Increas
Di Francesco, G.; Marini, S. // 2002
Our objective is to build lighter and smaller gear pumps vs. those being currently produced. The need to reduce weight and dimensions is strongly felt also by the manufacturers who want to reduce ...
Grid Generation in Complex Computational Domains with the Use of Subdivision Templates
Kolšek, T.; Duhovnik, J. // 2002
3D Numerical analyses often require volume discretization through the generation of a grid. When discretizing complex geometries, it is important that the grid fits the boundaries well. A subdivision ...
Grundlagen für einen mechatronischen Effektekatalog
Kahler, M.; Schweiger, W. // 2002
Haunting Space - The Role of the Body in Design Interaction
Smyth, M. // 2002
This paper will investigate the contention that the body and in particular the sense of touch, plays a central role during interaction associated with design. The approach will be grounded in the ...
How Designers Communicate Ideas to Each Other in Design Meetings
Williams, A.; Cowdroy, R. // 2002
Multi Disciplinary Design Teams (MDDTs) are used extensively in the industrial manufacturing world to integrate the broad knowledge bases required for application of diverse technologies necessary in ...
Identifying the Best Overall Solution by Team Based Evaluation and Decision Tactics in Conceptual Design
Graessler, I. // 2002
In this contribution, evaluation and decision tactics to be applied in early phases of innovative and interdisciplinary product development projects are presented. As an example, a workshop series ...
Impact Damage Analysis of Layered Composite Plates
Smojver, I.; Soric, J. // 2002

Rohatynski, R.; Kielec, R.; Sasiadek, M. // 2002
Including Sketching in Design Idea Generation Meetings
van der Lugt, R. // 2002
Designers commonly apply brainstorming meetings. In such meetings the primary mode of expressing ideas is written language. In contrast, when involved in unstructured design meetings, designers tend ...
Inclusive Design - Review of Student Projects
Kapetanovic, Zlatko; Horvat, Sanja; Lapaine, Božidar; Orešic, Mladen // 2002
The notion INCLUSIVE DESIGN is refered to process of designing artificial and visual environment suitable for all persons regardless of age,health conditions,education,skills and other.It was ...
Increasing Load Capacity of Splines due to Design
Schäfer, G.; Garzke, M. // 2002
Splines are common used shaft-hub-connections with high performance in torque transmission. There are several national and international standards (e.g. ISO 4156, ANSI B92, DIN 5480, DIN 5466) ...
Influence of the Hoisting Drum Winding System on the End Plate Loads
Otto, S.; Mupende, I.; Dietz, P. // 2002
Experiments and FEA-Simulations on hoisting drums with winding system according to LeBus show that conventional calculation methods, which are based on the assumption of an symmetrical axial load ...
Informal Information in Engineering Design - a Classification
Culley, S. J.; Allen, R. D.; Hicks, B. J. // 2002
To achieve success companies must minimise time to market and possess the ability to make fully informed decisions at the early phase of the design process. Such decisions may include the choice of ...
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.
