Semantics for Digital Engineering Archives Supporting Engineering Design Education

This paper introduces the challenge of digital preservation in the area of engineering design and manufacturing and presents a methodology to apply knowledge representation and semantic techniques to develop Digital Engineering Archives. This work is part of an ongoing, multiuniversity, effort to create Cyber-Infrastructure-Based Engineering Repositories for Undergraduates (CIBER-U) to support ...

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

Communication Media for Supporting Distributed Engineering Design

This paper looks at the communication media and organisational change requirements to support teamwork in a virtual organisation. A large engineering design organisation faced problems of coordinating concurrent engineering activity and geographical distribution. These problems were identified in detail, and the requirement for the design of an integrated communication support system was specif...
