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.

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, the basic theory of Axiomatic Design is introduced at first. Then the design process of the platen die-cutting mechanism is analyzed based on the basic concept and design process of axiomatic design. The functional requirements of the die-cutting mechanism, and the mapping and decomposition processes between designing parameters were presented. This provides the scientific basis for evaluating the rationality of the mechanism design, and plays a guiding role on design.

The axiomatic design theory as stated by Suh has proven useful when designing products, and this success has led to an increasing interest in applying the theory to manufacturing systems development. The theory states that functional couplings should be avoided in general. However, manufacturing systems are potentially coupled in many ways, the most obvious being that manufacturing operations usually are performed in a sequence. Functional coupling is defined as a dependence between functional requirements. The subject of couplings in manufacturing systems is not extensively explored or described in the literature, and specifically not in relation to the axiomatic design theory. Five different categories of couplings in manufacturing systems are described and exemplified in this paper. Couplings can be designed into the manufacturing system for a diverse range of reasons, e.g. selection of manufacturing processes or materials, but they may also be irrational, e.g. decisions based on political opinions.

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.

In 1977, Nam P Suh proposed a different approach to design research. Suh’s approach was different in that it introduced the notions of domains and layers in a 2-D design thinking and stipulated a set of axioms that describes what is a good design. Following Suh’s 2-D reasoning structure in a zigzagging manner and applying these axioms through the design process should enable the designer to arrive at a good design. In this paper, we present our own experiences in applying Suh’s theories to software design, product design, organizational design, process design, and more in both academic and industrial settings. We also share our experience from teaching the Axiomatic Design theory to students at universities and engineers in industry, and draw conclusions on how best to teach and use this approach, and what results one can expect. The merits of the design axioms are discussed based on the practical experiences that the authors have had in their application. The process developed around the axioms to derive maximum value (solution neutral environment, design domains, what-how relationship, zig-zag process, decomposition, and design matrices) is also discussed and some updates are proposed.

Purpose – Complexity is an important element in axiomatic design theory. The current method for calculating complexity for a system following normal distribution is unbounded and approximate. The purpose of this paper is to present a detailed bounded solution for complexity using design and system ranges on a single function requirement. Design/methodology/approach – This paper discusses the complexity measure for a system following a uniform distribution. The complexities of two types of systems, a system performing with a uniform distribution and a system performing on target according to a normal distribution are then considered and compared. The research proposes a complexity measure for a system performing within specification limits with a uniform distribution. In addition, a new concept of relative complexity is proposed. Findings – A bounded solution for complexity for a normal distribution based on the existing assumptions was given which includes bias in addition to variance. The bounded solution was then compared to the existing approximate solution from the variance as well as bias standpoint. It was found that bias has an inappropriately reverse relationship with the bounded solution of complexity. Therefore, complexity cannot be used to approximate the system improvement when the improvement is based on a reduction in bias. Originality/value – The current method for calculating complexity for a system following normal distribution is unbounded and approximate. This paper proposed a complexity measure for a system performing within specification limits with a uniform distribution.

Abstract In earlier work, the axiomatic design theory has been analyzed for applications on product design and the production processes that pertain to it, where parts manufacture and assembly take place in flexible and automatic manufacturing systems. The conclusion is that the original model cannot handle the manufacturing aspects in a satisfactory manner. This report proposes an expansion of the axiomatic design model, with a life-cycle approach as take-off. The expansion of the model consists of the introduction of a so-called Manufacturing World with different spaces, where various types of processes and support functions can be developed in agreement with the axiomatic principles. The spaces and their relationships have been defined along with explanations of work procedures. An explanatory example is given.
