VT HUN103 Hönnun/T-411-MECH MEchatronics 1¶

There are lots of helpful design materials in the project for [[honnun:]]
Of interest:

• FUNdaMENTALS of Design Chapter 3, "Fundamental Principles": honnun:source:fundamentals/FUNdaMENTALs Topic 3.PDF

Axiomatic Design¶

Axiomatic Design References and helpful papers https://projects.cs.ru.is/projects/mechatronics/repository/show/topics/axiomatic-design

• Customer Attributes (general info and lies)
• Functional Requirements (what should it do)
  • Starts with action verb, can be tested
• Design Parameters (how are you going to do it)
  • Starts with a noun, can be quantified
• Make design matrix with FR on side, DP on top

Important hints:¶

• Collectively Exaustive, Mutually Exclusive
• Axiom 1: FR should be independent
• Axiom 2: Should always be able to meet FR with solution
• Use ID numbers: FR0 top level, FR1, FR1.1, to decompose
• 1-7 elements per level. NO FR8. Avoid single "leaves"
