Abstract:

The main goal of this thesis is the development of a novel methodology to generate creative solutions at functional level for design tasks without binding solution spaces with designers&rsquo<br>individual experiences and prejudices. For this purpose, an evolutionary methodology for the conceptual design of engineering products has been proposed. This methodology performs evaluation, combination and modification of the existing solutions repetitively to generate new solution alternatives. Therefore, initially a representation scheme, which is generic enough to cover all alternatives in soluti

Abstract:

Current emission prediction models in the conceptual design phase are based on historical data and empirical correlations. Two main reasons contributing to the current state of emission models are complexity of the phenomena involved in the combustor and relatively low priority of having a more detailed emissions model at the conceptual design phase. However, global environmental concerns and aviation industry growth highlight the importance of improving the current emissions prediction approaches. There is a need to have an emission prediction model in the conceptual design phase to reduce th

Abstract:

The ability to design is the distinguishing characteristic of an engineer. Recent research has increased our understanding of both the engineering design process and effective means for teaching that process to neophyte design engineers. In that spirit, a design methodology was developed at the Institute for Innovation and Design in Engineering (IIDE), Texas A&M University. At the core of this approach is a design philosophy based on the cognitive skills of Abstraction, Critical Parameter Identification, and Questioning. This philosophy along with the design process is taught in the senior

Abstract:

The desire to create an environmentally friendly aircraft that is aerodynamically efficient and capable of conveying large number of passengers over long ranges at reduced direct operating cost led aircraft designers to develop the Blended Wing Body(BWB) aircraft concept. The BWB aircraft represents a paradigm shift in the design of aircraft. The design offers immense aerodynamics and environmental benefits and is suitable for the integration of advanced systems and concepts like laminar flow technology, jet flaps and distributed propulsion. However, despite these benefits, the BWB is yet to b

Abstract:

A considerable amount of literature exists regarding design strategies and methodologies for large scale chemical engineering processes. However, the majority of the effort has focussed on petrochemical industries. Consequently, design strategies have been tailored to the specific requirements of these industries. Process design for food industries presents a number of unique challenges and problems, many of which cannot be addressed by existing petrochemical-based design methods. The principles of operation of most dairy processes are well known, but procedures for their design are not publis

Abstract:

The research was conducted in the light of a training programme which will train a total of 150 engineers of AVIC I in Cranfield University during a period of 3 years. Cost has become an essential driver to aircraft design, as well as performances due to either the limited defence budget or competitive airline market. Consequently, knowing the possible cost prior to making actual expenditure will help managers to make proper decisions and allocate resources efficiently, and designers to optimize their work. Existing aircraft cost estimating models are outdated and mainly based on a database in

Abstract:

A conceptual design optimization methodology was developed for a medium range box wing aircraft. A baseline conventional cantilever wing aircraft designed for the same mis- sion and payload was also optimized alongside a baseline box wing aircraft. An empirical formula for the mass estimation of the fore and aft wings of the box wing aircraft was derived by relating conventional cantilever wings to box wing aircraft wings. The results indicate that the fore and aft wings would use the same correction coe cient and that the aft wing would be lighter than the fore wing on the medium range box wi

Abstract:

Distributed intelligence systems are starting to gain dominance in the field of large-scale complex systems. These systems are characterized by nonlinear behavior patterns that are only predicted through simulation-based engineering. In addition, the autonomy, intelligence, and reconfiguration capabilities required by certain systems introduce obstacles adding another layer of complexity. However, there exists no standard process for the design of such systems.

Abstract:

Industries want to add value to their offerings but to do this, rather than just accepting customer requirements, they now need to know how their products and/or services have been embedded within their customer’s process to achieve a goal that the customer has; any gaps within the process then present an opportunity for the provider to fill these gaps. The System-In-Use (SIU) Methodology presented in this thesis facilitates customer issues in “pulling” the supply chain into creating new solutions as well as the supply chain “pushing” new value propositions into improving customer processes.

Abstract:

One of the most promising powered-lift concepts is Upper Surface Blowing (USB), where the engines are placed above the wing and the engine exhaust jet becomes attached to the upper surface. The jet thrust can then be vectored by use of the trailing edge curvature since the jet flow tends to remain attached by the "Coanda Effect". Wind tunnel and flight-testing have shown USB aircraft to be capable of producing maximum lift coefficients near 10. They have the additional benefit of shielding the engine noise above the wing and away from the ground. Given the potential gains from USB aircraft, o

博士<br>國立臺灣大學<br>機械工程學研究所<br>92<br>A systematic and efficient methodology for conceptual design of mechanisms is developed based on the classification of design specifications. In this work, design specifications for a mechanism are recast into three more coherent categories: functional requirements, structural requirements and design constraints. Based on functional requirements, the functioning kinematic chain of the mechanism is constructed by the functioning links such as the ground, input and output links, etc. According to structural requirements, kinematic structures are searched from th

碩士<br>國立臺灣大學<br>土木工程研究所<br>81<br>Designing for the concept of an air hub requires the provisions for adequate expansion and flexibility to accommodate a much lager level, more transfer, and different kind of demand. This study aims at building the framework of air hub conceptual design methodology that is corresponding with the characteristics of hub operations. The systematic methodology generates the concept alternatives of master plan more efficiently. In practic

Abstract:

Performance and manufacturability are two important issues that must be taken into account during MEMS design. Existing MEMS design models or systems follow a process-driven design paradigm, that is, design starts from the specification of process sequence or the customization of foundry-ready process template. There has been essentially no methodology or model that supports generic, high-level design synthesis for MEMS conceptual design. As a result, there lacks a basis for specifying the initial process sequences. To address this problem, this paper proposes a performance-driven, microfabric

碩士<br>國立臺灣科技大學<br>資訊管理系<br>100<br>In this age of advanced information technology, many businesses are contemplating the question of how to utilize information systems to enhance their competitive capacity. Most companies do not have sufficient time or human resources to develop information systems on their own and thus outsource this task to software vendors. However, providing the vendor with a complete plan for the proposed information system often poses difficulty for staff, particularly if they lack previous experience using such systems. As service providers, software vendors must meet th
