Tolerance Analysis of Mechanisms Taking into Account Joints with Clearance and Elastic Deformations
Stuppy, Julia; Meerkamm, Harald // 2009
Geometrical deviations can influence the functionality of technical systems in motion. Geometrical deviations due to manufacturing discrepancies are limited by tolerances which are defined during the ...
Toward a Process and Method for Tracing the Development of Information Objects Used in Engineering Design
Storga, Mario; Darlington, Mansur; Culley, Steve; Marjanovic, Dorian // 2009
The work reported here builds on the framework for EDI development presented previously by discussing the requirements for information object traceability in respect of the context-bearing ...
Toward a Soft Computing Integrated Intelligent Design Framework
Zha, Xuan F. // 2009
In this paper, a novel integrated intelligent framework is first proposed for virtual product design and prototyping based upon the hybrid intelligent and soft computing techniques. Then, a ...
Towards an Understanding of the Impact of Resources on the Design Process
Boyle, Iain; Duffy, Alex H.B; Whitfield, Robert Ian; Liu, Shaofeng // 2009
Considerable effort has been devoted within the design research community to understanding the structure of design processes and their development for different design problems. Whilst much work has ...
Towards Empirically-Derived Guidelines for Process Modelling Interventions in Engineering Design
Kerley, Warren P.; Wynn, David C.; Moss, Michael A.; Coventry, Gina; Clarkson, P. John // 2009
Task-network modelling approaches are widely used to understand and improve product development (PD) processes. The best-practice application of these tools is often presented prescriptively. This ...
Towards Managing Team-Interfaces: An Exploratory Elicitation of Factors Influencing Communication
Maier, Anja Martina; Eckert, Claudia M.; Clarkson, P. John // 2009
Many researchers and practitioners in industry have identified communication between people as a major determinant of success or failure in (design) projects. At the same time, our empirical ...
Traceability of the Development of ‘Information Objects’ in the Engineering Design Process
Štorga,Mario;Darlington,Mansur; Culley,Steve; Mcarjanovi, Dorian // 2009

Boolean Searches
The following examples demonstrate some search strings that use boolean operators:
- design community
Find rows that contain at least one of the two words. - +design +community
Find rows that contain both words. - +design community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but rank rows higher if they also contain “community”. - +design -community
Find rows that contain the word “design” but not “community”. - +design ~community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but if the row also contains the word “community”, rate it lower than if row does not. - +design +(>community <decisions)
Find rows that contain the words “design” and “community”, or “design” and “decisions” (in any order), but rank “design community” higher than “design decisions” - design*
Find rows that contain words such as “design”, “designs”, “designing”, or “designer”. - "some words"
Find rows that contain the exact phrase “some words” (for example, rows that contain “some words of wisdom” but not “some noise words”). Note that the " characters that enclose the phrase are operator characters that delimit the phrase. They are not the quotation marks that enclose the search string itself.
