Journal ArticleDOI
Design for additive manufacturing: trends, opportunities, considerations, and constraints
Mary Kathryn Thompson,Giovanni Moroni,Thomas H.J. Vaneker,Georges M. Fadel,R. Ian Campbell,Ian Gibson,Alain Bernard,Joachim Schulz,Patricia Graf,Bhrigu Ahuja,Filomeno Martina +10 more
TL;DR: In the case of aircraft components, AM technology enables low-volume manufacturing, easy integration of design changes and, at least as importantly, piece part reductions to greatly simplify product assembly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Affordance based design: a relational theory for design
TL;DR: A relational theory for design is proposed based on the concept of affordances from perceptual psychology, which helps to explain the entanglement between designers, users, and artifacts—relationships that are not currently handled by function based approaches to design.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expert system-based selection of the preferred direction of build for rapid prototyping processes
Dietmar Frank,Georges M. Fadel +1 more
TL;DR: An expert system tool that considers the various parameters that affect the production of the prototype and interacts with the user to recommend the best direction to build and is based both on the user's input and on a decision matrix based on the result of interviews with experts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two point exponential approximation method for structural optimization
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined various first order approximation methods commonly used in structural optimization and proposed an adaptation of a first order method using an exponent adjusted to better fit the constraints and reduce the overall number of iterations needed to attain the optimum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Classifying Functions for Mechanical Design
TL;DR: A taxonomy of elemental mechanical functions which can be used with many decomposition techniques is presented, used as a pedagogical tool or as a basis for the derivation of a complete taxonomy.
