Conceptual design

Conceptual design by means of graph representations.

Formal explanation of the new design methodology (PowerPoint Presentation).

Relations established between different engineering fields by means of graph representations enable to transfer knowledge between these fields. Thus known designs from one engineering field can be transformed to yield new devices in the other field. Monitoring enabled us to devise a powerful design methodology. In this presentation you will see a formal description of this methodology and a number of thorough examples of establishing new engineering devices.

Explanation of the methodology through an example (PowerPoint Presentation).

In this presentation it is demonstrated how a new mechanical device is developed by means of the suggested methodology. Afterwards, the admissibility of the technique is verified upon the resultant device.
