An integrated methodology for the preliminary design of highly reliable electromechanical actuators: Search for architecture solutions

TL;DR: In this article, an integrated methodology for finding and assessing architectures of electromechanical actuators with special attention to safety and reliability is presented, which was developed and applied in the framework of the research project DRESS.

On the functions of products

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the opportunity to describe and model, through the concept of function, product actions across four dimensions including technical, aesthetic, social and economic, and demonstrated that non-technical functions can be represented through active verbs and nouns and modelled using a method known as the Function Analysis Diagram (FAD).
Journal ArticleDOI

A new interactive design approach for concept selection based on expert opinion

TL;DR: The proposed methodology is tested on a full case study, namely the choice of optimal design for the traditional Neapolitan coffeemaker, inspired by the prototypes of the Italian designer Riccardo Dalisi.
Journal ArticleDOI

Combining axiomatic design and case-based reasoning in an innovative design methodology of mechatronics products

TL;DR: In this article, a design method that mixes reusing knowledge, designing new components for innovative design and adapting techniques to configure and design the new solution is presented for electric industrial warehouse trucks.
Dissertation

System architecture analysis and selection under uncertainty

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an approach to improve the performance of a single-input-single-output (SISO) system using a set of tools from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Engineering Systems Division.
