“Mind the Oddness Trap!” - Theory and Practice in Design Thinking
Noweski, Christine; Meinel, Christoph // 2010
In design thinking, theory and practice are closely interconnected. The theory serves as a blueprint, guiding companies in general and design teams in particular through the design process. Given ...
A Design Methodology to Overcome Local Effects in Joining Sandwich Materials
Krishnamoorthy, Sivakumara Kannappan; Feldhusen, Jörg // 2009
This paper proposes a design methodology which emphasizes the usage of CAE tools to overcome local effects in joining sandwich materials at an early stage of the product development. Several case ...
A Dialectical Approach to Solve Inventive Problems Using Genetic Algorithms and TRIZ: Searching for a Computer Aided Innovation Shell
Duran-Novoa, Roberto Alejandro; Leon-Rovira, Noel; Uresti, Eduardo // 2009
Inventive problems need creativity to be solved, which is usually believed to be beyond comprehension and, thus, methodology. TRIZ and Genetic Algorithms (GAs) have shown that this is at least ...
A Formalization of CK Design Theory Based on Intuitionist Logic
Kazakçi, O.Akin // 2009
The paper introduces a formalization of Concept-Knowledge (CK) theory of design reasoning based on Intuitionist Logic and Kripke type semantics. The concept space is de ned as a tree of formulae ...
A Problem Decomposition Method for Conceptual Design
Sarkar,Somwrita; Dong,Andy ; Gero,S.John // 2009
In this paper, based on ndings from situated cognition, we argue that human reasoning is characterized by an ability to dynamically re-organize knowledge available in an experience, and re-construct ...
A Theory of the Constituent Elements of Functions
Fantoni, Gualtiero; Apreda, Riccardo; Bonaccorsi, Andrea // 2009
The aim of the paper is to present a new proposal for functional analysis. The approach here presented is the first step towards a novel methodology called FAB (functional analysis breakdown) where ...
About the Use of TRIZ for Product-Service Development
Rovida, Edoardo; Bertoni, Marco; Carulli, Marina // 2009
The aim of this paper is to understand how the Theory of Inventor's Problem Solving (TRIZ) may be applied in the development of product-service combinations. The authors have analyzed TRIZ ...
Achieving Pareto Optimality in a Decentralized Design Environment
Honda, Tomonori; Ciucci, Francesco; Yang, Maria C. // 2009
As engineering systems grow in complexity, the teams that design them require increasingly disparate expertise and must operate in a more distributed fashion. At the same time, subsystem design teams ...
An Agent Based Approach to Modeling Design Teams
Crowder, Richard Michael; Hughes, Helen; Sim, Yee Wai; Robinson, Mark // 2009
It is well recognized that an effective design process is contingent on the joint optimization of both the social and technical aspects of such an activity. Thus interactions between individual ...
An Approach to Compare Product Development Methods
Vajna, Sandor; Kittel, Konstantin // 2009
The manifold activities of product development are the substantial activities within a company, as these, due to their innovation character, are the foundations of the company's success. Many ...
An Intelligent Design Environment - Overcoming Fundamental Barriers to Realizing a Step Change in Design Performance and Innovation?

In the modern design environment, demands on performance, innovation and productivity are always increasing as global competition rises and business models, such as the product-service paradigm, ...
Analysis of existing products as a tool for engineering design education
Calderon, Marco Lino // 2009
To study engineering can be difficult sometimes, especially when transforming theoretical knowledge into practice. To address this issue, the fundamentals of a reverse engineering and product ...
Analysis, Synthesis and Problem Solving in Design Engineering
Eder, Wolfgang Ernst // 2009
Design engineering aims to provide transformation processes (TrfP) and technical systems (TS), preferably as complete transformation systems (TrfS), to solve a specific task. A theory-based ...
Assessing Design Methods for Functional Representation and Concept Generation: Strategies and Preliminary Results
Tate, Derrick; Agarwal, Aditya; Zhang, Linjing // 2009

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.
