State of the art computational methods might offer the opportunity to handle 3D anthropometrical information: in a collection of similar 3D shapes, when there is a correspondence of points, certain ...

APPLICATION OF THE FMEA DURING THE PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT PROCESS – DEPENDENCIES BETWEEN LEVEL OF INFORMATION AND QUALITY OF RESULT

W // 2014
The FMEA is a method to analyse failures and their risks to the customer. If it is used as early as possible during the product development process, the usable level of information is very low. The ...

ASSEMBLY TIME ESTIMATION BASED ON PRODUCT ASSEMBLY INFORMATION

Eigner, M.; Roubanov, D.; Sindermann, S.; Ernst, J. // 2014
A design engineer’s major task is the fulfilment of design requirements like form, fit and function while production relevant properties are typically not in scope yet. Unfortunately the designer ...

CHOOSE THE RIGHT MATERIAL! EXPERT AND USER INTERACTION IN PARTICIPATORY DESIGN

Donati, C.; Vignoli ,M. // 2014
The only way to create a shared understanding of an idea in the design process is to convert it in a tangible prototype. This paper investigates how the tangibility level of a prototype can affect ...

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.
