Part I: Fundamentals of Design -- Why Design? -- What is Design? -- How Do We Design? -- Representation of Design Solutions -- Defining the Problem to be Solved -- How Should We Select Functional Requirements? -- How Should We Select Design Parameters? -- How Do We Select Process Variables? -- Mapping in Design -- The Independence Axiom and Design Matrix -- The Information Axiom and Robust Design -- Representation of Design Outputs -- Introduction to System Design -- Design of Large Systems -- Introduction to Complexity -- Software Design -- Part II: Applications of Axiomatic Design -- Application of Axiomatic Design in a Manufacturing System -- Design of Job Shop for Manufacturing Discrete Parts -- Healthcare System Design -- Application of Functional Periodicity -- Integration of Axiomatic Design with Other Design Methods -- Design of Organizations.
Design Engineering and Science teaches the theory and practice of axiomatic design (AD). It explains the basics of how to conceive and deliver solutions to a variety of design problems. The text shows how a logical framework and scientific basis for design can generate creative solutions in many fields, including engineering, materials, organizations, and a variety of large systems. Learning to apply the systematic methods advocated by AD, a student can construct designs that lead to better environmental sustainability and to increased quality of life for the end-user at the same time reducing the overall cost of the product development process. Examples of previous innovations that take advantage of AD methods include: • on-line electric vehicle design for electric buses with wireless power supply; • mobile harbors that allow unloading of large ships in shallow waters; • microcellular plastics with enhanced toughness and lower weight; and • organizational changes in companies and universities resulting in more efficient and competitive ways of working. The book is divided into two parts. Part I provides detailed and thorough instruction in the fundamentals of design, discussing why design is so important. It explains the relationship between and the selection of functional requirements, design parameters and process variables, and the representation of design outputs. Part II presents multiple applications of AD, including examples from manufacturing, healthcare, and materials processing. Following a course based on this text students learn to create new products and design bespoke manufacturing systems. They will gain insight into how to create imaginative design solutions that satisfy customer needs and learn to avoid introducing undue complexity into their designs. This informative text provides practical and academic insight for engineering design students and will help instructors teach the subject in a novel and more rigorous fashion. Their knowledge of AD will stand former students in good stead in the workplace as these methods are both taught and used in many leading industrial concerns.
