Concurrent Engineering : an Effective Engineering Management Strategy

The paper provides a comprehensive insight into current trends and developments in Concurrent Engineering for integrated development of products and processes with the goal of completing the entire cycle in a shorter time, at lower overall cost and with fewer engineering design changes after product launch. The evolution and definition of Concurrent Engineering are addressed first, followed by ...

A Concurrent Dual-Band Low Noise Amplifier for GNSS Receivers

In this paper, a new design of concurrent dual-band Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) for multi-band single-channel Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers is proposed. This new structure is able to operate concurrently at frequency of 1.2 and 1.57 GHz. Parallel and series resonance parts are employed in the input matching in order to achieve concurrent performance. With respect to used pse...

A Framework for Concurrent Simulation Engineering

This paper presents a generic framework for Concurrent Simulation Engineering (CSE). Based upon the general principles of Concurrent Engineering (CE), concurrent alternatives to the hitherto mainly linear, multiple feedback Modelling/Simulation/Validation process are proposed. Characteristics, merits and requirements of CE lead to the discussion of the actual framework, accentuating the need fo...

Distributed Computing and Organisational Change Enable Concurrent Engineering

Concurrent Engineering is the latest buzzterm for bringing products to market faster. This paper explores how a distributed computing environment can enable concurrent engineering. The following topics are covered: • Definition of concurrent engineering and how it applies to non-technical as well as technical companies. • Case studies of companies who have harnessed their distributed computing ...

A study of overlapping and functional interaction mechanisms for concurrent engineering processes

Fluidity Onset Analysis in FG Thick-Walled Spherical Tanks under Concurrent Pressure Loading and Heat Gradient

In this paper,fluidity onset analysis in FG thick-walled spherical tanks under concurrent pressure loading and heat gradient has been presented. Designing thick-walled spherical tanks under pressure as tanks holding fluids under heat loads with high heat gradients require new approaches. Under high internal pressure and high temperature, the tank enters the plastic stage in a part of its thickn...
