During the design step, 80% of the cost of a product is committed. Therefore, it is essential to
give the designer efficient cost estimation methods. This paper deals with the comparison of …

According to the principles of concurrent engineering and integrated design, engineers
intend to develop a mechatronic system with a high level integration (functional and physical …

According to conceptual changes on design methodology, this paper presents some
research results on a new generation of CAD systems. This new software has not been used …

We derive the single molecule equation of state (force-extension relation) for DNA
molecules bearing sliding loops and deflection defects. Analytical results are obtained in the …

Nowadays, manufactures are encountered with production of different version of products
due to quality, cost and time constraints. On the other hand, Additive Manufacturing (AM) as …

Due to strong competition (economic pressure, time-to-market, the emergence of competing
products, etc.) industrial enterprises have to continually increase their competitiveness …

Data exchange between Computer-Aided Design (CAD) systems is a crucial issue in
concurrent engineering and collaborative design. The paper presents research works and …

The general objective of this paper is to define the problem areas linked to the specification
and overall consistency of a dimensioning diagram and to propose a solution principle to …

Objective: This paper deals with the design and the optimization of mechatronic devices.
Introduction: Comparing with existing works, the design approach presented in this paper …

Project design management not only involves allocating resources but also involves
