Basic Elements of Axiomatic Design of Abrasive Processes and SystemsAbrasive Process Tutorial 9-12 Tuesday 7 November 2006Prof. Christopher A. BrownWPISyllabus• Basics of Axiomatic Design– Objectives and Rationale – Independence and Information - Two axioms– The domains and hierarchy of design– The design matrix and axiom one– Tolerances and axiom two• Applications to abrasive processes– Examples of couplingAxiomatic DesignNam P. Suh Principles of Design 1990 and Axiomatic Design 2001• Formulated in the late 70s at MIT• The practice of design based on axioms became a scientific discipline in the sense that there is a self-consistent, axiom-based logic that leads to good solutions for design problems. What are the Design Axioms?• Something all good designs have in common• Cannot be proven – no exceptions have been observedWhat is Engineering Design?• the process of dreaming of things that never were and asking - why not? • conceiving, planning, analyzing, comparing, and selecting components and systems that fulfill some desired function. • Functionally based and objective oriented. Tasks:Figure out what the functions are, then figure out the best way to satisfy themEngineering Design is not all about drawing or drafting.• Engineering design includes the process of developing concepts from general to specific. • This includes the origin and development of the substantive content of design. • Engineering design is a ...
