Early design is widely accepted inside the engineering design community as a crucial design phase. This is due to the fact that decisions taken at this stage constrained heavily the final performances of products. This article presents a design framework dedicated to the early design phases of mechatronic products. This framework provides a scientifically coherent methodology for refinement, an...

conventional methods for seismic design of structures are based on building capacity. because of the disadvantages of conventional methods, base isolation system  is known as an effective solution to protect structures against earthquakes. in this study the operation of 2-storey steel frame with and without seismic isolators under near-fault earthquake of chichi، northridge and  capemendocine  ...

In this paper, we propose an expert system for daylighting in architecture which is used to guide a goal-oriented, user-interactive design process. This system is supported by a knowledge-base which has been populated using a set of previously completed simulations using the Design of Experiments methodology. The knowledge-base contains information regarding the effects of a variety of design c...

This paper's objective is analyze the of thermal cell absorber attached a (FPBTCA) through low thickness design. It will produce lightweight portable application with efficient temperature conversion duration has energy storage ability. Stainless steel aluminum materials different...

This research uses computational modeling to explore another method to increase diesel engine performance while maintaining low pollutant emission levels. Previous studies have shown that injection-rate profiles and injector configurations play important roles on the performance and emissions of particulate and NOx in DI diesel engines. Since the most important engine design parameters, includi...
