These proceedings gather outstanding papers submitted to the 2015 SAE-China Congress, the majority of which are from China, the biggest car maker as well as most dynamic car market in the world. The book covers a wide range of automotive topics, presenting the latest technical achievements in the industry. Many of the approaches presented can help technicians to solve the practical problems that most affect their daily work.

This book presents a number of new methods, tools, and approaches aimed to assist researchers and designers during the early stages of the design process, focusing on the need to approach the development of new interactive products, systems and related services by closely observing the needs of potential end-users through adopting a design thinking approach.

A wide range of design approaches are explored, some emphasizing on the physicality of interaction and the products designed, others exploring interactive design and the emerging user experience (UX) with a focus on the value to...

This textbook arms the reader with powerful techniques of Modern TRIZ self-training and real problem solving. It is designed as a simple and efficient, step-by-step crash course in primary TRIZ models based on the author's methods of extraction and reinvention, or retrieval of invention models from any real-life objects. Special content addresses the psychological support of the person during problem solving and promotion of the new idea to realization. The book introduces the so-called Theory of Developing the Creative Personality (TDCP), initiated but not completed by Genrikh Altshuller,...

This book consists of chapters based on selected papers presented at the EcoDesign2015 symposium (9th International Symposium on Environmentally Conscious Design and Inverse Manufacturing). The symposium, taking place in Tokyo in December 2015, has been leading the research and practices of eco-design of products and product-related services since it was first held in 1999. The proceedings of EcoDesign2011 were also published by Springer.

Eco-design of products and product-related services (or product life cycle design) are indispensable to realize the circular economy and to...

This proceedings volume contains papers that have been selected after review for oral presentation at ROMANSY 2016, the 21th CISM-IFToMM Symposium on Theory and Practice of Robots and Manipulators. These papers cover advances on several aspects of the wide field of Robotics as concerning Theory and Practice of Robots and Manipulators.

ROMANSY 2016 is the 21st event in a series that started in 1973 as one of the first conference activities in the world on Robotics. The first event was held at CISM (International Centre for Mechanical Science) in Udine, Italy on 5-8 September 1973. It...

Iwo Spru gibt einen Uberblick uber die Interaktion eines Kraftfahrzeugs mit einer nassen Fahrbahn sowie der hieraus resultierenden Fahrzeugeigen- und -fremdverschmutzung. Er zeigt, dass ein Verstandnis dieser Prozesse notwendig ist, um neben den klassischen, aerodynamischen Optimierungsgroen im Fahrzeugentwicklungsprozess durch Vermeidung der Fahrzeugverschmutzung einen Beitrag zur Sicherheit im Straenverkehr zu leisten. Die Erkenntnisse aus den vorgestellten Untersuchungen an einem Grundkorper als auch an einer Vollfahrzeuggeometrie dienen dem Autor als Grundlage fur die Weiterentwicklung...

Pierre T. Kirisci entwickelt eine Methode zur Modellierung mobiler Interaktionsgerate (mobile Eingabe-, Ausgabe- und Kommunikationsgerate) mit besonderem Fokus auf Arbeitssituationen in intelligenten Produktionsumgebungen. Ein wesentlicher Bestandteil der Methode ist ein Modellierungswerkzeug auf Basis eines Kontextmodells zur Beschreibung dieser Arbeitssituationen. Dieses Werkzeug ermoglicht die Erzeugung von Gestaltungsempfehlungen fur Produktentwickler in den fruhen Phasen der Produktentwicklung. Dadurch wird die Komplexitat und Diversitat intelligenter Produktionsumgebungen erheblich...

The standard text on innovation advises would-be innovators to conduct creative brainstorming sessions and seek input from outsiders -- users or communities. This kind of innovating can be effective at improving products but not at capturing bigger opportunities in the marketplace. In this book Roberto Verganti offers a new approach -- one that does not set out to solve existing problems but to find breakthrough meaningful experiences. There is no brainstorming -- which produces too many ideas, unfiltered -- but a vision, subject to criticism. It does not come from outsiders but from one...

Color Trends and Selection for Product Design: Every Color Sells a Story speaks to the needs of the manufacturing level where colorants are developed, helping manufacturers to understand where their colors will sell and for what period of time these products will be viable. It covers issues such as stability, color measurement, and new methods of incorporation, which are critical in the development of new colorants.

The book helps product designers more effectively reach their target audiences by helping them understand more about how colors are chosen for particular markets...
