Design to Specifications - A Strategy for Specification-Based Machine Design

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

Using design specifications for design

Extracting Technical Specifications of a Solar Panel Type to Design a 10 MW Hybrid Power Plant

This paper focuses on the design of a 10 MW hybrid power plant using the technical specifications (data sheet) of an industrial solar panel. The main purpose was to find out the exact electrical properties of the solar panel specialy with conjunction to its temperature, to optimize overall output energy. We first describe the most important types of solar power plants and afterwards focus on el...

Mapping Specifications to Design

M ost software engineering books are written as textbooks. Geared at hapless students who typically don’t have a say in the course content, they often stray toward dry lists of term definitions and methodologies. Code Craft: The Practice of Writing Excellent Code claims to be “a survival guide for the software factory.” Indeed it is, but it’s also a brilliant software engineering book. Software...

systematic study for obtaining design specifications of an automatic post machine

this study is concerned with encouraging people to use post system in iran. in fact, it tries to find the design specifications of a post machine as an interacting system for improving post system. a machine that can provide facilities for posting parcels and selling envelops and stamps. in iran, post system is an obsolete system and cannot satisfy the users completely. in order to explore the ...
