Environment-Based Design (EBD) application to mechanical products

Design problems need creative solving method, solution and specific knowledge and experience. Design problems and solution methodologies have been studied for many decades. Environment-Based Design (EBD) method is one of the modern and comprehensive methods which reflects the state of art in the design methodologies. In this project EBD technics including environment analysis, right-questions presentation, Recursive Object Model (ROM), conflicts identification and design generation, design validation and future prediction will be used to analyze the mechanical product development. The project will be done in School of logistic Engineering of Wuhan University of Technology and will have two aspects. First part includes improving host group design knowledge by implementing EBD and the second part is about validating the proposed methodology by considering mechanical products as case-study. The outcomes of project can be presented as follows.
1. Developing strategic framework for finding innovative design idea by using EBD. TO BE CONT’D
