Design Requirements

Conceptual design is a critical design phase during which initial design solutions, called design concepts, are developed. These design concepts must be evaluated to ensure they satisfy the specified design requirements and the most appropriate design concept must be selected. It is often difficult for the designer, especially for the novice, to make an appropriate design concept evaluation and selection. Existing work on design evaluation lacks an effective tool for evaluating the temporal performance of the design concepts. To address this problem, a Critical Path Method (CPM) from project management is adapted for design evaluation, whereby a CPM network is converted from a causal behavioral process (CBP) and the methodologies relating to CPM are also applied to design improvement. A case study of a lever-clamp assembly system is also presented to illustrate as well as validate the method.

Probabilistic Entropy

Abstract Formal methods for conceptual design must embrace the uncertainty that pervades the earliest parts of the design process. Operating over this uncertainty, decision-based design measures the value of restricting the design space as well as the impact of refining design evaluation or analysis models. Missing from this framework is the cost in terms of design freedom of restricting the design space. We propose a measure of design freedom based on probabilistic entropy and demonstrate its application to two example conceptual design problems.

This article and research is based on recent patents filed with the USPTO (US Patent Serial No. 13/969,529 and 14/450,425), and Professional experiences in the built environment for over thirty years. The intention of this invention is focused on absorbing and / or redirecting forces two dimensionally or three dimensionally in any mechanism that relies on moving and / or force resolving components (structural manipulation of forces) so more benefits of the mechanism can be achieved under a longer duration.
