From Text to Design Solution: Inspiring Design Ideas with Texts
Goldschmidt, Gabriela; Litan Sever, Anat // 2009

Function as Metonymy
Winkelman, Paul M. // 2009
Design aids often seek to map function to form. Hierarchies offer possible models but risk emphasizing competition at the expense of more cooperative relationships. Cooperation can be seen in the ...

Functional Basis and B-Cube: Alternative or Complementary Models?
Chulvi, Vicente; Vidal, Rosario // 2009
Human beings have always tried to classify knowledge in order to manage it. A common way to structure knowledge in a hierarchical manner is by means of taxonomies. Within the context of engineering ...
Functional Modeling for TRIZ-Based Evolutionary Analyses
Cascini, Gaetano; Rotini, Federico; Russo, Davide // 2009
TRIZ literature presents several papers and even books claiming the efficiency of Altshuller’s Laws of Engineering System Evolution as a means for produce technology forecasts. Nevertheless, all the ...
Functional Vector Space
Fantoni, Gualtiero; Apreda, Riccardo; Bonaccorsi, Andrea // 2009
Recent developments in Functional Analysis witness the emergence of a new paradigm. Formal models seem destined to replace the standard taxonomical and descriptive approaches. In this paper we ...
General Systems Theory Based Integral Design Method
Zeiler, Wim; Savanovic, Perica // 2009
The paper provides insight in a specific design model, Integral Design, derived from the design model Methodical Design developed at the University of Twente, the Netherlands, in the early seventies ...
Generating Design Structure Matrices and Domain Mapping Matrices using SysML
McLellan, J. M.; Maier, J. R. A.; Fadel, G. M.; Mocko, G. M. // 2009
Give Design a Break? The Role of Incubation Periods during Idea Generation
Cardoso, Carlos Coimbra; Badke-Schaub, Petra // 2009
When tackling design problems, designers sometimes become too attached to particular ideas, either developed by them or induced by external exemplars. Inadequate adoption of features and principles ...
Global Engineering Alliance for Research and Education (GEARE) - A Comprehensive Study & Intern Abroad Program for Engineering Students
Albers, Albert; Burkardt, Norbert; Becke, Claudia // 2009
GEARE offers the possibility of internationalization for universities and students for undergraduate and for graduate students in mechanical engineering. Five distinguished universities all over the ...

Hierarchical Affordance Modeling
Maier, Jonathan R. A.; Mocko, Gregory; Fadel, Georges M. // 2009
The theory of affordances has been adapted by the authors into a comprehensive high-level approach to design known as affordance based design. One of the features that distinguishes the affordance ...
Holistic Intellectual Property Protection of Virtual Product Models in Product Development Networks
Abramovici, Michael; Meimann, Valentin // 2009

During the design of man-machine interfaces, Human Factor issues are a key element of the design process performance. However, Human Factor analysis is mostly performed a posteriori, when a prototype ...
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.
