Engineering-parameters

The 39 engineering parameters (or evaluation parameters)

An engineering parameter is a generalized characteristic representing an engineering situation

A technical contradiction is defined as an opposition between these parameters.

There are 39 Engineering Parameters, they must be understood as very general and may be subject to interpretation.

Each real parameter, from the real problem, must be interpreted and transformed into a standard engineering parameter, in order to be put in the matrix.

Hereunder the list of these engineering parameters:

• 1. Weight of moving object

  2. Weight of stationary object

  3. Length of moving object

  4. Length of stationary object

  5. Area of moving object

  6. Area of a stationary object

  7. Volume of moving object

  8. Volume of stationary object

  9. Speed

  10. Force (intensity)

  11. Stress or pressure

  12. Shape

  13. Stability of object's composition

  14. Strength

  15. Duration of action of moving object

  16. Duration of action of stationary object

  17. Temperature

  18. Illumination intensity

  19. Energy spent by a moving object

  20. Energy spent by a stationary object

  21. Power

  22. Loss of energy

  23. Loss of substance

  24. Loss of information

  25. Loss of time

  26. Quantity of substance

  27. Reliability

  28. Measurement accuracy

  29. Manufacturing precision

  30. Harmful factors acting on an object from outside

  31. Harmful factors developed by an object

  32. Ease of manufacture

  33. Ease of operation

  34. Ease of repair

  35. Adaptability or versatility

  36. Device complexity

  37. Difficulty of detecting, measuring, controlling

  38. Extent of automation

  39. Productivity
