Biological knowledge is becoming an important source of inspiration for developing creative solutions to engineering design problems and even has a huge potential in formulating ideas that can help firms compete successfully dynamic market. To identify the technologies methods facilitate development biologically inspired designs, this research briefly reviews existing biological-knowledge-based theories examines application biological-knowledge-inspired designs various fields. Afterward,...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the diffusion patterns knowledge in inspiring technological innovations and enable monitoring development trends based on patent data analysis, thus, manage wisely innovate. Design/methodology/approach notion innovation potential (KIP) proposed measure innovativeness by cumulative number patents originated from its inspiration. KIP calculating formula regressed forms two specific models conducting a series empirical studies with...

As most of the knowledge used in industrial product design is based on data files from a previous design, it difficult to be efficiently applied supporting innovation design. This paper proposes method construct an enterprise base (EKB) for A concept functional basis (FBP) first proposed similar products. The function units and corresponding technical are clustered EKB retrieval path then level. prototype software developed retrieve directly through determine optimal technology by searching...

Intuitive interactive methods for novice users to create 3D content and geometry have eluded the CAGD community several decades, they continue be critical yet unresolved challenges.The need such is even more acute considering fact that printing becoming a commodity.In contrast, modern geometric modeling tools are very complex used primarily by professionals as architects engineers.Part of difficulty might found in input/output devices mostly 2D.While users, real life, do interact daily...

Innovative design of complex systems faces multi-contradiction (MC). The existing methods to solve MC are mainly based on the General Theory Powerful Thinking (OTSM) which is independent classical Engineering Design Method (ED) form process model, they cannot inherit accumulated knowledge and advantages ED. This paper proposes a product innovation model for function-structure model. It starts with an initial scenario system build network root contradiction analysis. structure entropy...

This study aims to explore the key systematic attributes influencing acceptance of gerontechnology by seniors in response global aging and rapid technological progress. A meta-analysis was carried out quantitatively synthesize results 25 empirical studies published from 2010 2020. After standardized coding descriptive statistics, as well tests analysis main effects heterogeneity, publication bias. The following were obtained: Perceived usefulness perceived ease use have a significant...

New product development (NPD) provides an opportunity for companies in the market, but there is a risk of failure if cannot satisfy customers. It therefore important to estimate success potential new during NPD. According value used Value Engineering (VE) and ideality TRIZ (a Russian acronym Theory Inventive Problem Solving), this paper proposes structure Key factors that affect are identified. Methods proposed measure changes comparing with existing products. The analysis way products'...

Product-service system (PSS) complexity is rapidly increasing in order to meet complex user requirements. Increased leads PSSs failing sustainability requirements their initial design. To enhance PSS and support social benefits, this paper proposes a sustainable development framework based on design-centric (DCC) theory. In the early design stage of PSS, DCC theory used analyze system. Determination types corresponding problems then performed. By combining sub-field model TRIZ, can be...

Patent is an important knowledge source for industrial research and product development on account of its innovation practicability. In TRIZ theory, a design problem can be considered as one or more Contradictions. But the Contradictions corresponding Inventive Principles are rather abstract general. It will helpful innovators to solve if they obtain related examples from published patents that have solved order search relevant patens according automatically, text mining used analyze patent...

Analogy-based design is an effective approach for innovative involving knowledge representation, analogical sources retrieval, mapping between two systems, and adaptation of candidate solutions. The representation the first task to determine whether analogy can be implemented successfully. It is, therefore, necessary have efficient description method information retrieval. Based on Structure-Behaviour-Function (SBF) model, this paper proposes R-SBF model integrate flow, structure, behaviour...
