A framework to model reliability and failures in complex systems during the early engineering design process

Creator:

O'Halloran, Bryan M.

Abstract:

An open area of research in complex systems is to move reliability and failure assessments earlier in the engineering design process. When compared to later design, early decisions are cost effective and have a large impact on the system. Standard methods are limited by the availability of data and often...

Theory and application of vector space similarity measures in computer assisted conceptual design

Creator:

Poppa, Kerry R.

Abstract:

A number of computational tools now exist to aid in developing conceptual solutions based on a functional description of a design problem. A key limitation of these tools is the way results are organized for presentation to the user. In general, results are an undifferentiated mass of potential solutions. Analysis...
