Axiomatic Design Theory

Axiomatic design theory is widely used in new product development by providing design solutions through mapping between functional requirements and design parameters. However, the theory does not provide a method to help designer obtain and select design parameters. To this end, this paper introduces patent analysis to overcome the deficiency. Firstly, functional requirements are transformed into patent search terms, and design parameters are obtained from patents. Secondly, morphological matrix is used to represent the relationships between target function and multiple design parameters. Thirdly, design parameters with higher patent frequency are chose and combined into a new scheme. Finally, the scheme is evaluated by the independent axiom of Axiomatic Design theory. The methodology is demonstrated and validated with a case study of spa shower.

In this paper, Axiomatic Design (AD) theory was adopted for the design analysis of an underactuated Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) system and its subcomponents. The system design issues of the Propulsion and Control System of the ROV II are analyzed and addressed based on the Independence Axiom methodology. The top-level Functional Requirements (FRs) for the thruster design and configuration are identified and its corresponding Design Parameters (DPs) are also presented.

Development Methods

Agile, and iterative, development methods for new product development are gaining in popularity under product engineers; where it initially was just applied for software development, now larger adoption takes place for product development in general. The design rules of agile development are somewhat conflicting with the guidelines of Axiomatic Design. In this paper, it is investigated why this is the case, what can be done about it, and how can the strengths of agile development be combined with Axiomatic Design to optimise methods for product design. It is shown that the methods are indeed advising on different and conflicting strategies, however, by attenuating the agile design rules in the early stage of design, and doing the same for AD in the later stage of design, best of both worlds can be combined.

Axiomatic Design Theory

Ultrasonic abrasive cavitational machining is a nonconventional machining method applied to remove surfaces in workpieces made of brittle, hard, or non-conductive materials that cannot be efficiently machined by other classical or nonconventional machining methods. Among the factors that can affect the values of the parameters of technological interest for the ultrasonic machining process, the relative pressure between the ultrasonic tool and the workpiece surface to be machined could be considered. The main objective of the research presented in this paper was to analyze the possibilities of selecting the most convenient solution among many such available solutions to ensure the tool feed motion, when designing a device for achieving an ultrasonic drilling process. At present, this selection could be achieved by means of an optimal selection method. Taking into consideration some functional requirements of the device, the method of analytic hierarchy process and the axiomatic design theory were used to solve some problems met in the design process.

Concept Improvement

Because parametric values are unknown during initial concept generation, the Axiomatic Design Theory uses the binary design matrix (DM) to represent the coupling relationship between functional requirements and design parameters. However, given an existing product, it would be possible to employ the numerical DM that has more detailed information than the binary DM to help improve the design concept. This paper proposed a two-phase method to create a numerical DM in phase I and manage the functional couplings in phase II for concept improvement of existing product. A decomposition-definition-levelling framework and the Puritan-Bennett’s 0-1-3-9 level rating are employed to evaluate the system impact of each functional coupling to create the numerical DM of an existing design concept. The Design Coupling Sequence (DCS) approach was extended to use the numerical DM to improve this design concept. Compared with other numerical matrices for product development and the structured approach by Su et al., our method is more generic and faster, providing useful details yet still able to maintain the dominance of the high-level couplings.

Complex Manufacturing Systems

Abstract This paper addresses some limitations of the axiomatic design theory (AD) when designing complex products and matching manufacturing systems. The conclusion is that, for complex manufacturing systems, this cannot be done in such a straightforward way as described in literature. The original method is best used for manufacturing of parts only, i.e. to find the appropriate process variables (PVs). In the case of complex manufacturing systems, a one-to-one mapping between physical domain and process domain is not possible since not all design parameters (DP) are components. Therefore, an additional process requirement domain (PR), proposed earlier, has been used. With it, the components are extracted from the DP hierarchy and mapped to different spaces in the manufacturing world. In these spaces, PRs and PVs are selected when designing the manufacturing system. An example is given to show the deficiencies and how to use the suggested modifications.

Sustainable Product

One of the current trends of competitive companies is moving to eco-innovation. This pathway involves a multidisciplinary approach and a systemic attitude concerning to eco-design. The focus must be to analyse the customer requests from a sustainable viewpoint, understanding their real needs and finding solutions structurally sustainable from the early steps of the product development. The objective of this paper is to consider the perspective of the eco-design not as control issue, but something that should be used from the outset of the design process and be considered in the different domains of the design at all its levels of detail, in parallel with the ÒusualÓ functionality. The herein described consists in introducing the eco-requirements by structuring the eco-issues in the design product structure based on the Axiomatic Design theory. The result of this research is a proposal for a guideline for the structuring of the sustainable product development using a surfboard as an example.

Modern Industry

As the demands of customers in the modern industry increased, the number of products, and the variety of components has increased. These issues have led to difficulties in product development and production. Modularization of products has advantages such as cost reduction, product development time reduction, and production time reduction. Modular design of products has been studied in the design activities of the modern industry. In this study, a modular design method is proposed to design a modular product based on axiomatic design (AD) and design structure matrix (DSM). AD and DSM are efficiently integrated into the proposed method. Functional requirements and design parameters are defined based on the Independence Axiom of AD, and the zigzagging process of AD is employed for the decomposition of the functional requirements (FRs) and design parameters (DPs). The design sequence is established based on the design matrix. Coupled or functionally close DPs are grouped into a module (Module 1). These modules are efficiently used in the design sequence. DSM is used to modularize the design parameters of the lowest level of axiomatic design. DSM is constructed based on physical interfaces and numerical clustering algorithms are used to identify strongly related components. They are grouped into a module (Module 2). Module 2 is exploited for production and management. Therefore, these two modules for different purposes can be used to increase efficiency in the design and production process. The proposed method is applied to two automobile parts such as the suspension system and cooling system. The results are discussed from the viewpoint of usefulness.
