Function Based Design-by-Analogy: A Functional Vector Approach to Analogical Search
TL;DR: A new method for extracting functional analogies from data sources has been developed to provide this capability, here based on a functional basis rather than form or conflict descriptions, and Zipf’s law on word count order reduction is applied to reduce the words within the documents down to the applicable functionally critical terms, thus providing a mapping process for function based search.

Affordance-based design methods for innovative design, redesign and reverse engineering
TL;DR: In this article, a broad affordance-based design process is introduced together with methods for documenting affordance, methods for designing individual affordances, an affordancebased method for reverse engineering and redesign, the affordance structure matrix, and affordance based selection matrices.

Ergonomics action research II: a framework for integrating HF into work system design
W. P. Neumann,Judy Village +1 more
TL;DR: A conceptual framework that can support efforts to integrate human factors (HF) into the work system design process, where improved and cost-effective application of HF is possible.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design-by-analogy: experimental evaluation of a functional analogy search methodology for concept generation improvement
TL;DR: The results of experimentally testing a new method for extracting functional analogies from general data sources, such as patent databases, to assist designers in systematically seeking and identifying analogies are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptable design: Concepts, methods, and applications
TL;DR: Adaptable design as mentioned in this paper is a new design paradigm that aims at developing adaptable products to satisfy the various requirements of customers, such as better functionality, higher quality, lower cost, shorter delivery lead time, and increased environmental friendliness.
