A New Design Process Paradigm: Sustainable System Design
نویسنده
چکیده
A new design process paradigm that explicitly considers maintenance is described. The paradigm is ideally suited for planning and design of sustainable systems, systems designed to last indefinitely. To explicitly consider maintenance the engineer must be aware of materials deterioration, damage modes, and inspection technology constraints and capabilities. Problems with existing nuclear power plants, legacy aircraft, bridges, and water distribution systems are used to illustrate the need for this new paradigm. Engineer educational institutions are urged to teach this new design paradigm along with the supporting coursework.
