What does an Industrial Designer do? Design is all around us, yet very few people truly understand the role of an industrial designer. Yet, their work is evident everywhere we look. Architectural, furniture, automotive, textile, graphic and product are all examples of different types of design. The designer is one who gives form to function, one who balances art and technology. Design is expand...

The design codes of building are mainly related to the strength of the building and there are no specific codes for the design of building with waffle floors for vibration sensitive equipment. The finite element model, ANSYS, is capable to consider the effects of floor thickness, the size of the bays and stiffness of the columns for analyzing the vibration of the waffle floors and vibration tra...

The main current evolutions in industrial design research are the following : 1 The computerization of the early design phases 2 Consumer and user centered design with in particular emotional design 3 The concurrent engineering, with collaborative work supporting tools Our goal is to modelize the preliminary phases of traditional industrial design process, in order to build new computer aided d...

Successful realization of large-scale product development programs is challenging because of complex product and process dependencies and complicated team interactions. Proficient teamwork is underpinned by knowledge of the manner in which tasks performed by different design participants fit together to create an effective whole. Based on an extensive industrial case study with a diesel engine ...

This paper aims to figure out difference of our impressions on curves that are used in shape designs, and also contribute industrial designers by implementing a smart computer aided design (CAD) systems which have as same feelings on curves as human designer’s. The proposed K-Vector is a mathematical form of classifying such curves by designer’s impressions.

Renewable energy resources and technologies are sufficient to meet all of humanity’s energy requirements, provided that the transition to renewables is accompanied in parallel by intense, disciplined initiatives to design, fabricate, and distribute ubiquitously an emerging class of ultra-efficient energy consuming devices. Renewables can thereby power devices which are disruptively more energy-...

User’s sensitive image to products is the emphasis that industrial design concerns, and is also the one of the key targets. Complicated mapping relations exist between design elements and user image, which make product’s user image unpredictable. The paper tries to build a model to describe the mapping relations on the basis of graph theory, which introduces the concept of genetic regulatory ne...
