Operating Bolt Load Calculation in Joints of Complex Elastic Structures
Zupan, S.; Prebil, I. // 2002
An improved method for the calculation of actual operating force on every bolt in the bolted joint has been developed. It is founded on the usage of so called “elasticity” and “stiffness” matrices of ...
Optimization of Die-Bonding Process Using Orthogonal Array Experiments
Lai, R.-J.; Lin, Y.-C.; Kuo, T.-W.; Chou, S.-Y. // 2002
The chip of power transistor with die back metallization (Ti/Ni/Ag/Au) is bonded on the lead frame (Cu:>=99.96%) using the scrubbing method. The soft solder applied is Sn-Pb alloy. Voids appear in ...
Optimization of Injection Law at Modern Diesel Fuel Supply Systems
Filipovic, I.; Pikula, B. // 2002
The most important element that contributes better atomization of air-fuel mixture, as well as better performing of combustion processes, is an introduction of direct injection of fuel under high ...
Optimum Design of a Formula One Rear Wing Using a Genetic Algorithm
Muzzupappa, M.; Pagnotta, L. // 2002
In the present paper, the possibility of optimizing the stiffness of a F1 lower-rear wing, in a shape which satisfies the aerodynamic requirements, by making use of a genetic algorithm was ...
Overview of the Initiatives on the Development of Designer's Toolkits
Vroom, R. W.; van Haarlem, L. F.; Ootes, F. P. A. // 2002
We investigated the initiatives on the development of designer’s toolkits by a literature search. To categorize the tools for the different design phases we use a design model. Also an historical ...
Part Based Product Upgrade
Žavbi, R. // 2002
A procedure for part based product upgrade is proposed. Part based product upgrade means product improvement as a result of improvements of its parts (i.e. changes in the values of part ...
Participative Laboratories for the Co-Production of Public Space: Redefinition of Social Meaning
Michialino, P.; Cowdroy, R. // 2002
This paper provides an outline of a study of the development of new strategies for an integrated process for the design of public space using participative laboratories. The laboratories involved ...
Patentanalyse zur systematischen Gewinnung von Lösungsprinzipien und Gestaltungsrichtlinien

Patterns of Design and Development in Adaptive Design: How Do We Match Design Method to Design Circumstance?
McMahon, C. A.; Draper, C. // 2002
Perspectives on Similarity in Design
Eckert, C. M.; Earl, C. F. // 2002
New designs are examined in the context of existing designs. General features of similarity are outlined. Similarities are distinguished according to both the type of design activity and the type ...
Physual Designing - Approaching Design through the Interaction Space
Kristensen, K.; Hildre, H. P.; Sivertsen, O. I.; Fyhn, H.; Storler, K. // 2002
Engineering designers utilize and depend on both their physical surroundings and different technology-based generic and engineering-specific tools, in order to be effective. Hence, they “orchestrate” ...

Medland, A.J.; Mullineux, G. // 2002
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.
