Product Form Design

This paper presents a multi-response optimization method that uses the grey-based Taguchi method as the integrative product form design optimization method, and it serves as a tool for product form design to determine the optimal combination of design parameters in Kansei engineering (KE). This method is unique in that it combines the Taguchi method (TM) and grey relational analysis (GRA), allowing it to take advantage of the benefits of both methods. The TM is used to design experiments and generate combinative product form design samples which can be used to improve product quality. The GRA is applied to multi-response optimization problems. Factor effect analysis and analysis of variance (ANOVA) are used to determine which combinations of design parameters will result in the optimal product design. To demonstrate the applicability of the grey-based TM, a case study of a car form design is presented, and a confirmation test is performed to verify the performance of the optimal product design. The results show that the grey-based TM can deal with optimization problems with multiple Kansei responses and determine an optimal car form design that is representative of the consumers' perception in a systematic manner. The confirmation test results also show that the optimal product design generated by the grey-based TM can be used to improve the overall quality of a product form.

The basic element of product form design are colors, materials and forms, the foundation of the form beauty lies in different arrangement which gives you visual impact. You must feel not only the innovation at the glance of the classic product design of Apple such as mobile phones, computers but also its unity and instantaneously. This is the perfect performance of the law Unity and Variety. This paper is presented that the unity and variety of product form design is applied in the elements of design such as colors, materials and forms which take Apple design as an example based on the basic law of form beauty principle. And it provides a theoretical basis and references for enterprise to develop a series of product and pave the way for further research.

It is discussed that the symmetry principle of Gestalt is prevalent in nature and in product design. On this basis, a kind of method for form design is summed up which is guided by the symmetry principle of Gestalt. In the process of product form design, these stages need the guidance of the symmetry principle, such as function decomposition of the product, the arrangement of function modules and the configuration of function modules. In addition, it takes the vacuum cleaner as an example to show the specific application of this method.

Product Form Design

In today’s competitive market, industrial product form design is moving towards being consumer centric. Affective responses relate to customers’ affective needs and are receiving increasing attention. To design a product form that can appeal to consumers, designers should consider multiple affective responses (MARs). This paper proposes a robust design approach that uses a fuzzy-based hybrid Taguchi method to derive the optimal product form design concerning MARs. First, design analysis is used to identify design variables and MARs. According to the results, a Taguchi experiment is designed in which fuzzy sets are used to measure the MARs; then, signal-to-noise (S/N) ratios are calculated. Subsequently, a fuzzy questionnaire with multiple answers is employed to acquire consumers’ preference weights for MARs, following which Vlsekriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) is adopted to transform the multiple S/N ratios into a multiperformance characteristic index (MPCI). On the basis of the MPCI, the effects of design variables are identified through analysis of variance and the response table and the response graph are obtained. Consequently, the optimal form design is achieved. A car profile design was used as an example to demonstrate the proposed approach. The results indicate that this approach can effectively improve consumers’ affective response qualities and can be used as a robust design approach to optimize product form design.

In recent decades, the genetic algorithm (GA) has been extensively used in the design optimization of electromagnetic devices. Despite the great merits possessed by the GA, its processing procedure is highly time-consuming. On the contrary, the widely applied Taguchi optimization method is faster with comparable effectiveness in certain optimization problems. This study explores the abilities of both methods within the optimization of a permanent magnet coupling, where the optimization objectives are the minimization of coupling volume and maximization of transmitted torque. The optimal geometry of the coupling and the obtained characteristics achieved by both methods are nearly identical. The magnetic torque density is enhanced by more than 20%, while the volume is reduced by 17%. Yet, the Taguchi method is found to be more time-efficient and effective within the considered optimization problem. Thanks to the additive manufacturing techniques, the initial design and the sophisticated geometry of the Taguchi optimal designs are precisely fabricated. The performances of the coupling designs are validated using an experimental setup.
