Preliminary Vehicle Structure Design: an Industrial Application of Imprecision in Engineering Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Method of Imprecision, or MoI, is a formal method for incorporating imprecise information into a design process. This methodology has been exercised on a problem in preliminary vehicle structure design in collaboration with VW Wolfsburg. Results show that the method is useful in trading off multiple conflicting attributes, including styling preferences and engineering requirements.

متن کاملConcept design of Vehicle Structure for the purpose of computing torsional and bending stiffness
Automotive design engineers face the challenging problem of developing products in highly competitive markets. In this regard, using conceptual models in the first step of automotive development seems so necessary. In this paper, to make a body in white conceptual model, an engineering approach is developed for the replacement of beam-like structures, joints, and panels in a vehicle model. The ...
متن کاملStiffness-based Approach for Preliminary Design of Framed Tube Structures
A parametric formulation for preliminary design of tubed-system tall buildings is presented in which some optimality criteria and practical constraints are considered. Here, a minimum compliance optimization formulation, developed by other researchers, is applied to a framed-tube structure. The tube behavior is modeled as a cantilevered box beam. Independent variable in this problem is thicknes...
متن کاملImplementation Procedures for the Risk in Early Design (RED) Method
Risk assessments performed at the conceptual design phase of a product may offer the greatest opportunity to increase product safety and reliability at the least cost. This is an especially difficult proposition, however, as often the product has not assumed a physical form at this early design stage. This paper introduces the Risk in Early Design (RED) method, a method for performing risk asse...
متن کاملA Lean Manufacturing Roadmap for an Automotive Body Assembly Line within Axiomatic Design Framework
In this paper we are to present a practical application of Axiomatic Design (AD) methodology, as a roadmap to lean production, in redesigning a car body assembly line. Axiomatic Design theory provides a framework to simplify the whole problem. According to the AD principles, a hierarchical structure has been developed. The developed structure originated in lean manufacturing principles and exis...
