A multiagent approach to identifying innovation in design components

Creator:: Rebhuhn, Carrie M.
Abstract:: Innovation is a key element for a product to achieve market success, but identifying it within product or even defining the term is a difficult task. Identifying innovation has been approached in many different ways. Experts in design engineering may identify innovative designs based on an analysis of a product's...

Towards a guided framework for innovative engineering through the generation and evaluation stages of concept design

Creator:: Oman, Sarah Kay
Abstract:: This work proposes a framework of concept generation and evaluation that takes into consideration the benefit of creativity and innovation in current market trends. By educating engineers in how to increase creativity in concept design and assess it quantitatively, the next generation of designers will be a step ahead of...

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...

Engineering design knowledge management and capture using a process overview document

Creator:: Zarins, Andis M.
Abstract:: An experiment was conducted to examine the possible impact of an engineering design and problem solving process overview document on knowledge management and capture. A process overview document was first created. Next, two multi-disciplinary design teams worked over a two-week span to develop concepts to address a problematic opportunity. One...

A framework for assessing and improving the resilience of complex engineered systems during the early design process

Creator:: Mehrpouyan, Hoda
Abstract:: As modern systems continue to increase in size and complexity, they pose significant safety and risk management challenges. System engineers and much of the government research efforts are focused on understanding the attributes and characteristics that emerge from the interactions of components and subsystems. As a result, the objective of...

Ontologies to Support Repeatable and Valid Customer Requirements Generation

Creator:: Lemke, Mark T.
Abstract:: Due to the growing complexity, sophistication, and interconnectedness of present day engineered products and services, the use of ontologies in engineering design is becoming more widespread. An ontology provides a standardized way of describing concepts in a domain of interest and the relationships between these concepts to better understand the...

Evaluation of failure diagnosis in conceptual design of mechanical systems

Creator:: Ruff, David N.
Abstract:: A methodology for improving quality and reducing life cycle costs of mechanical systems is described. The principal concept is that a system can be designed, in the conceptual stages, to be easier to diagnose for failures. To perform this, functional decomposition and form to function mapping are utilized both as...

Methodologies to improve reliability engineering in early design

Creator:: O'Halloran, Bryan M.
Abstract:: This thesis is the summation of two publications with the motivation to move reliability analysis earlier in the design process. Current analyses aim to improve reliability after components have been selected. Moving specific analyses earlier in the design process reduces the cost to the designer. These early design analyses provide...

Product innovation for interdisciplinary design under changing requirements : mechanical design for the Bug ID project

Creator:: Peterson, Clint W.
Abstract:: It is crucial for the development of high quality products that design requirements are identified and clarified as early as possible in the design process. In many projects the design requirements and design specifications evolve during the project cycle. Shifting needs of the customer, advancing technology, market considerations and even...

An object oriented representation for mechanical design based on constraints

Creator:: McGinnis, Brian D.
Abstract:: A representation for the process of mechanical design, along with its computer implementation is presented and discussed. The representation consists of three fundamental concepts: design objects, constraints, and decisions. The design objects are the structures with which the physical artifacts of the design are described. A design object consists of...
