SEARCH FOR SIMILAR TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS BY OBJECT ABSTRACTION USING AN ONTOLOGY
Kohn, Andreas; Lindemann, Udo // 2011
The search for existing solutions in mechanical engineering is a key-factor for successful product development. By reusing existing solutions, the amount of work and costs within the product ...
SELECTION OF PHYSICAL EFFECTS BASED ON DISTURBANCES AND ROBUSTNESS RATIOS IN THE EARLY PHASES OF ROBUST DESIGN
Mathias, Johannes; Kloberdanz, Hermann; Eifler, Tobias; Engelhardt, Roland; Wiebel, Marion; Birkhofer, Herbert; Bohn, Andrea // 2011
Within this paper products are called robust, if uncertainties (property variations and disturbances) from production and use have no or little influence on the result during the use. In order to ...
SIMULATION BASED GENERATION OF AN INITIAL DESIGN TAKING INTO ACCOUNT GEOMETRIC DEVIATIONS AND DEFORMATIONS
Walter, Michael; Breitsprecher, Thilo; Gruber, Georg; Wartzack, Sandro // 2011
The success of a product’s development is essentially affected by its functionality. So the product developer has to ensure the functionality as early as possible. Since this usually can’t be ...
Sports Engineering: Developing an Integrated, Cross-disciplinary Engineering Design Degree
Wodehouse, Andrew J; Ion, William; Mair, Gordon // 2011
This paper describes the issues and challenges in developing a robust, cross-departmental curriculum for an integrated Sports Engineering degree, and provides some key pointers for universities ...
STRUCTURED CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT WITH PARAMETER ANALYSIS
Kroll, Ehud // 2011
The popular systematic design process model prescribes functional decomposition and morphology as the main method for accomplishing the conceptual design phase. This approach exhibits some ...
Student Creativity and Motivation in Educational Process – Case Study

TAXONOMY OF COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS
Metzler, Torsten; Shea, Kristina // 2011
This paper presents a taxonomy of cognitive functions that supports formal functional modeling of cognitive technical systems (CTSs) and cognitive products. To date, there is little support for ...
Teaching students in project management – a survey from a project semester
Helten, Katharina; Spillmann, Miriam; Brandstetter, Duygu; Udo, Lindemann // 2011
Even if most subjects in the mechanical engineering curriculum focus on “hard” facts such as mechanics, material sciences etc., soft skills as well as process knowledge become increasingly important. ...
Testing Against Requirements
Stechert ,Carsten; Vietor,Thomas // 2011

Boolean Searches
The following examples demonstrate some search strings that use boolean operators:
- design community
Find rows that contain at least one of the two words. - +design +community
Find rows that contain both words. - +design community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but rank rows higher if they also contain “community”. - +design -community
Find rows that contain the word “design” but not “community”. - +design ~community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but if the row also contains the word “community”, rate it lower than if row does not. - +design +(>community <decisions)
Find rows that contain the words “design” and “community”, or “design” and “decisions” (in any order), but rank “design community” higher than “design decisions” - design*
Find rows that contain words such as “design”, “designs”, “designing”, or “designer”. - "some words"
Find rows that contain the exact phrase “some words” (for example, rows that contain “some words of wisdom” but not “some noise words”). Note that the " characters that enclose the phrase are operator characters that delimit the phrase. They are not the quotation marks that enclose the search string itself.
