The purpose of this paper is to present a design approach based on the geometric constraints of joints for synthesizing differential mechanisms with two degrees-of-freedom, including some mechanisms with the same functions but distinct structures. The concept of virtual axes is presented. And, there are five steps in the design process. Step 1 is to decide fundamental entities by the properties of existing mechanisms and the technique of number synthesis, and 10 suitable fundamental entities of differential mechanisms are available. Step 2 is to compose geometric constraints, and 14 items are obtained. Step 3 is to compose links, and 15 items are derived. Step 4 is to assign fixed constraints for inputs or outputs, and 15 results are found. The final step is to particularize the obtained events by the properties of existing mechanisms and the structures of fundamental entities. As a result, 8 feasible results for differential mechanisms with two degrees-of-freedom and two basic loops are obtained in which 2 are existing designs and the other 6 are novel.

This paper analyzes the advantages and shortages of Systematic Approach of Pahl and Beitz (SAPB), Axiomatic Design (AD) and Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ), and explores the possibilities of integration of complementary advantages as well. Integrate the Independence Axiom from AD and the principles of resolving contradictions into the conceptual design phase of SAPB, and at last, generate an approach of conceptual design.

In order to improve performance of heavy-duty gas turbines, in terms of power, efficiency and reliability, accurate calculation tools are required. During conceptual design phase, an effective integration of main GT components design into a single modular simulation tool can significantly reduce design iterations and improve the results. Thanks to an innovative modular-structured program for the simulation of air-cooled gas turbines, the one-dimensional design of compressor and turbine flow paths is used to create a complete gas turbine model including a detailed secondary air system and a simplified heat transfer model. This zero-dimensional heat transfer model is applied to each turbine row in order to calculate the cooling flow required to keep turbine blades and vanes metal temperatures below a prescribed threshold. After a description of the air cooled gas turbine modular model, the integrated design approach adopted by Ansaldo Energia is described. The knowledge of technical risks that the designers have to withstand developing advanced technologies during conceptual engine design is fundamental. The inter-disciplinary influence of some disciplines is analyzed and finally it is shown how Ansaldo Energia approach can track expected performance results and provide recovery plans during the conceptual design phase.
