The product architecture describes the allocation of product functions to
physical components including their interactions. Within the design process, the
designer is called to determine the ...
Maier, Jakob F.; Eckert, Claudia M.; Clarkson, P. John // 2015
The design of many products is incremental, based on a prior architecture and may be thought of as a series of changes to an existing design. Nonetheless, design changes and their propagation ...

The challenges for designing and developing automotives increase and create the need for a change in developing processes. One solution to support digital processes in today's developing processes is ...
Park, Jaehyun // 2015
This study explores effective interaction protocols between designer and user in the design process, and it asks two research questions. First, how the designer-user interaction can take the two ...
Motte, Damien // 2015
This paper reviews a set of published industrial applications and research studies in order to assess the effectiveness of the systematic engineering design methodology. Effectiveness, which can be ...
Foehr, André G. C.; Stuecheli, Marius; Meboldt, Mirko // 2015
Over the past decades, the finite element method (FEM) has helped to accelerate design processes. However, when a problem is highly nonlinear, e.g. systems with changing unilateral contacts, ...

Every day we are confronted with new products and innovations. These may be based on known consumer demands or on industry innovations that give rise to new consumer demands. Usually, customers have ...
Chandra, Sushil // 2015
A good example of the manual vs. digital divide in design process is the studio modelling process. On one hand, the manual clay modelling offers the much needed tangibility and adds a touch-and-feel ...

When faced with the problem of designing a complex system, a design team must make many decisions. Because many design problems are too difficult to solve all at once, the team will decompose the ...
McComb, Christopher; Goucher-Lambert, Kosa; Cagan, Jonathan // 2015
The design process often requires work by teams, rather than individuals. During these times it is likely that situations will arise in which members of a team have different opinions, yet a group ...
Spreafico, Christian; Fantoni, Gualtiero; Russo, Davide // 2015
FBS is one of the most followed and studied design theories, as evidenced by the numerous investigations and rework on the subject. It is often used to provide a better understanding on existing ...
