At present, many domestic and international products' design are promoted the design concept based on the user experience or user awareness. It has been generally aware of the industrial design is no longer just belong to the narrow shape and design areas, therefore a correct understanding of user experience and user awareness is very necessary, whereas in the study of design theory, a lot of people have user experience mixed with user awareness as one concept, it's a truth that the both are closely linked, while there are certain differences between them, if they are mixed together, it will not only narrow us thinking play space, but also disable to achieve greater breakthroughs in the design process of innovation, on the contrary if the correct understanding and reasonable use of the both and furthermore transplanted into the design of the product, for the current field of industrial design, it is a huge reform and innovation.

With the development of the resource exploration and environmental science drilling, strict and scientific requirements are put forward for the samples taken from drilling. It is significant to keep the original appearance of the core and obtain the in situ core for the analysis of deep geological fluid and the exploration of the law of geological disasters caused by large-scale geological exploitation. To achieve the high-fidelity in situ core of deep rock, the development of the corresponding deep in situ fidelity coring device should involve the insulation coring device. The development of deep in situ fidelity coring device is a typical sophisticated product design. There are many problems in the design process, such as multimodules, multidisciplinary, crossdomain, and high coupling, which makes it more difficult for users to participate in product design and understand the product design intention. Digital twin technology, such as time data collection, accelerated iterative optimization, and high-fidelity rendering, provides users with an immersive experience and deepens their understanding of the product design intention. The exploration of the novel design model combined digital twin technology with innovative design theory. Digital twin innovative design of the deep in situ insulation coring device is based on the innovative design method, which built a digital connection between the pre-research test platform and the corresponding simulation models. This digital twin to help users participate in product design and understand the product design process. Finally, the TOPSIS evaluation model was used to calculate the user’s score on the design scheme, which increased by 27.64%, which improves the overall efficiency of product design. This paper provides a practical design method and technical means for the design of the deep in situ insulation coring device based on the geological mechanism and control theory of thermal insulation core.

Exploration Phase

Automotive production is faced with the challenge of bringing new products to market faster, with decreasing turn-around times, meaning production must be continually changing to accommodate new products. This paper proposes an approach to decrease a product’s time-to-market, by increasing the efficiency of automotive assembly unit design. Providing designers with conceptual information about future vehicle models early in the product design process, could shift the design start forward and enable a more efficient transition process. Large automotive companies work on vehicle design and development for years before a product is ready for production. If during these earlier stages of product design, significant changes are identified and communicated to production designers, the manufacturing system design can get a jump start with an early exploration phase. A method exists, which uses the Axiomatic Design theory to develop Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems through a modular breakdown. A similar method Adapt! employs Axiomatic Design and Scrum to develop changeable or adaptable production systems. This paper proposes to extend the Adapt! method to include an exploration phase, which through early communication, provides an overview of the required design process, and enables faster identification of the critical design challenges. A case study is performed by analysing a currently produced vehicle and its future electric version.

Axiomatic Design Theory

This paper introduces a new approach named Design for Patentability (DFP) and presents the preliminary formulation of a formal methodology to attempt consideration of patentability aspects during the early stages of design including conceptual design and initial implementation of detailed design and manufacturing. Design for Automation (DFAM) approach formulated earlier by the first author based on Axiomatic Design Theory originated by Suh et. al. at MIT is adapted, suitably modified and customized for inclusion of patentability aspects such as anticipation, functionality, utility, and obviousness. Highlighting the complexity in incorporation of legal aspects in an engineering methodology, the paper presents the possibilities of improving the patentability of a design by a systematic and considered approach. The proposed methodology introduces a Patentability Evaluation phase in-between the Product Design, Process Design and Automation System Design phases of DFAM. The paper reviews mapping of parameters between different domains, namely, Functional Requirements Domain, Design Parameters Domain, Process Requirements Domain, and Design Automation Parameters Domain encompassed in the DFAM methodology and includes Patentability Parameters Domain in parallel to the last three domains to enable possible consideration of patentability aspects during Product Design, Process Design, and Automation System Design. Further, the paper briefly discusses the relevance of the Information Axiom of the Axiomatic Design Theory in the context of preparation of preliminary drafts of invention disclosure and potential claims for perusal by patent agents or attorneys. The approach reported in the paper is expected to have broad applications in the growing field of innovation based entrepreneurship in which design for patentability is an essential requirement for success of a business venture.

AbstractA design problem with deficient information is generally described as wicked or ill-defined. The information insufficiency leaves designers with loose settings, free environments, and a lack of strict boundaries, which provides them with more opportunities to facilitate innovation. Therefore, to capture the opportunity behind the uncertainty of a design problem, this study models an innovative design as a composite solving process, where the problem is clarified and resolved from fuzziness to satisfying solutions by interplay among design problems, knowledge, and solutions. Additionally, a triple-helix structured model for the innovative product design process is proposed based on the co-evolution of the problem, solution, and knowledge spaces, to provide designers with a distinct design strategy and method for innovative design. The three spaces interact and co-evolve through iterative mappings, including problem structuring, knowledge expansion, and solution generation. The mappings carry the information processing and decision-making activities of the design, and create the path to satisfying solutions. Finally, a case study of a reactor coolant flow distribution device is presented to demonstrate the practicability of this model and the method for innovative product design.

AbstractIs biologically inspired design only an analogical transfer from biology to engineering? Actually, nature does not always bring “hands-on” solutions that can be analogically applied in classic engineering. Then, what are the different operations that are involved in the bioinspiration process and what are the conditions allowing this process to produce a bioinspired design? In this paper, we model the whole design process in which bioinspiration is only one element. To build this model, we use a general design theory, concept–knowledge theory, because it allows one to capture analogy as well as all other knowledge changes that lead to the design of a bioinspired solution. We ground this model on well-described examples of biologically inspired designs available in the scientific literature. These examples include Flectofin®, a hingeless flapping mechanism conceived for façade shading, and WhalePower technology, the introduction of bumps on the leading edge of airfoils to improve aerodynamic properties. Our modeling disentangles the analogical aspects of the biologically inspired design process, and highlights the expansions occurring in both knowledge bases, scientific (nonbiological) and biological, as well as the impact of these expansions in the generation of new concepts (concept partitioning). This model also shows that bioinspired design requires a special form of collaboration between engineers and biologists. Contrasting with the classic one-way transfer between biology and engineering that is assumed in the literature, the concept–knowledge framework shows that these collaborations must be “mutually inspirational” because both biological and engineering knowledge expansions are needed to reach a novel solution.
