A method for representing and manipulating imprecise and vague information in engineering design is described. Designers and customers preferences are captured with Fuzzy sets. Formal methods for including noise, trade-o strategies and design iteration are included. Introduction Imprecision and vagueness are intrinsic aspects of engineering design. If (at the start of a design process) a propos...

So far the effort of digitalizing product-styling tools for the early design development stage has mainly focused on using raster-type graphics S/Ws. However, it has become a new obstacle to concurrent engineering because resultants of these S/Ws are no more than images, which can be hardly converted to digital forms required by downstream process. For resolving this problem, this paper suggest...

Increasing manufacturing competition has necessitated simultaneous design of multiple products. Various design strategies such as Design for Variety (DfV) and product family design have become critical in this respect. This paper provides a new generic approach, which combines aspects of function architecting, multi-objective optimization, and multi agent systems to tackle product platform prob...

This paper presents a computational method for designing assemblies with a built-in disassembly pathway that maximizes the profit of disassembly while satisfying regulatory requirements for component retrieval. Given component revenues and components to be retrieved, the method simultaneously determines the spatial configurations of components and locator features on the components, such that t...

The main objective of product design is to meet the functional requirements. Given the alternatives in the selection of materials, product conŽguration, the required manufacturing and assembly methods, and costs, design needs to satisfy various constraints imposed on these selections. To solve constraints in design, representation of constraints is a challenge facing the design engineers. This ...
