Engineering design can be seen as a problem solving process in which engineers and designers convert their thoughts and ideas into real-life designs satisfying market and customer needs. The conceptual design process is crucial in engineering product design since it determines fundamental design features with respect to design requirements. Any decisions made at this stage have a significant impact on later stages of design. However, connection between system functional requirements and selection of actual mechanical components in mechanism designs is severely lacking. With the purpose filling

Abstract:
System level parametric design of hybrid electric vehicles involves estimation of the power ratings as well as the values of certain parameters of the components, given the values of the performance parameters. The design is based on certain mathematical equations or ‘design rules’, which relate the component parameters and the performance parameters. The flow of the design algorithm is uni-directional and fixed, and cannot be altered. This thesis proposes a new method for such parametric design, called omni- directional design, which does not have a fixed sequence like the convent

Abstract:
The newly designed car in the automotive industry should meet the customers' requirements, e.g. the outlook of the car, size of the car, usage of the car, among other requirements. It must still consider the factors of social life, resources and environmental problems during the automotive design, such as fuel consumption, emission, global warming, noise, accidents etc. [1], [2], [3]. As a result, the right concept of automotive body design still includes a measurement of its performance and an investigation of its effect on modem life. The aim of the project is to create a car body concept de

Abstract:
Engineering design is a complex activity that requires cross-domain knowledge and experience. Many engineering design methodologies have been proposed to describe engineering design and engineering design processes. In order to assist the implementation of these design methodologies, various design representations and design supporting tools are developed along with the methodologies. For example, the systematic approach proposed by Pahl and Beitz possesses the function structure as its design representation and the design repository as its design support. Creativity, as an essential element i
