... and transfer learning data is used to design a test rig for roller bearing fault identification and prognosis. Historically, academic researchers have concentrated on using the data they have gathered with their test rigs to undertake data analysis, rather than concentrating on the design of the test rig...

... Abstract Adaptable products are used to satisfy different and changing customer requirements through changes of products such as reconfiguration and upgrading during their utilization stages. In this research, an optimal design and process planning approach is developed for product adaptation...

... Abstract Machine learning is becoming increasingly prevalent in mechanical design as it allows for surrogate models to replace expensive computational models. However, the accuracy of these models is of particular concern when safety-critical products are involved. In order to address...

... Abstract This article describes the design and development of an autonomous Electric Vehicle (EV) charging system. An autonomous EV charger can extend the effective range of autonomous EVs by enabling them to recharge without human intervention. The motivation behind the development...

... Abstract Design processes for large-scale and complex projects inevitably involve balancing competing requirements within the solution space. Set-based design has emerged as a method that enables concurrent engineering practices. However, there are few documented cases of its performance...

... Abstract Our society faces complex social justice challenges, often exacerbated by existing engineered products and technologies. Engineering designers play a critical role in creating and studying products and technologies that can both aim to solve and unintentionally contribute to social...

... for syntactic aesthetics that can be used to describe multiple products. Combinations of four selected attributes are utilized to describe a diverse set of designs for two products: vases and canopies. Conjoint analysis is used to quantitatively measure the form preferences of individuals towards different...

... Abstract This article presents a new three-degree-of-freedom (3-DOF) parallel mechanism (PM) with two translations and one rotation (2T1R), designed based on the topological design theory of the parallel mechanism using position and orientation characteristics (POC). The PM is primarily...

... not advanced at the same rate. Only highlighting technology advancement is not sufficient, given the high interconnectivity between human-technology in Industry 4.0. Integrating the human factor in design and implementation of cyber-physical technology leads to the holistic development of cyber-physical-social...

... in early-stage SoS architecture selection. However, no consensus exists as to which graph-theoretic metrics are most valuable for SoS design and how they should be included in the design process. In this work, multiple graph-theoretic approaches are analyzed and compared, on a common platform...

... Abstract This work introduces a computational method for designing ceramic scaffolds fabricated via direct ink writing (DIW) for maximum bone growth, whereby the deposited rods are curvilinear. A mechanobiological model of bone adaptation is used to compute bone growth into the scaffold, taking...

... process a high volume of packages, aligning the latching mechanism quickly and reliably becomes critical. Instead of depending on highly accurate controllers for alignment, we propose a novel self-aligning rotational mechanism to increase the system’s tolerance to misalignment. The latching design...

... Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic forced college education to shift from face-to-face to online instruction. This effort is particularly challenging for freshmen and sophomore students, in engineering design projects where collaborations are needed. The study aims to qualitatively understand...

... Abstract Card sorting is one method that can be used to solicit meaningful insight from end users on the design and assessment of technologies. The objective of this paper is to present methods for and results from a card sorting activity exploring the social impacts experienced by households...

... Abstract This paper presents results of our research in design documentation. We have focused on the problem of capturing and applying design knowledge during product development. We have developed a task- and domain-specific representation for dialectical semi-formal reasoning in design which...

... Abstract Many design tasks involve selection from a set of configurations followed by parametric optimization of the chosen configuration. The models used for these tasks tend to be large, non-linear and involve both discrete and continuous variables. It is rarely possible to use any single...

.... As an application, the algorithm is used to deal with the problem of least cost tolerance allocation with optimum process selection. Studies are performed to compare between different orthogonal array and column assignment and number of design levels with respect to optimum. The proposed algorithm is capable...

... Abstract The basic advantage of deployable structures, their compact stowed size relative to their final deployed size, presents a significant advantage to the aerospace designer. Extremely large structures that stow into very small volumes for launch are particularly feasible with one...
