The Development Trend

Based on the concept of bionics design, this paper aims to research the basic theory of bionic design methods, design procedures and the development trend of mini hair dryer, intending to build the bionic design methods in production, pointing out the method of process in order to achieve the bionic goals, appreciating the biological characteristics, record, simplification, painting and biological characteristics of the product design. Hopeing to apply this method to promote other products design and trying to search a fast and effective way for products innovation.

Abstract The paper provides an overview of systematic design procedures and applications of compliant transmissions, which rely on elastic deformation to achieve, intended motion/force transmission function. The mechanisms described in this paper have compliance distributed throughout the structure without employing flexural hinges. Stroke-amplification mechanisms integrated with electrostatic linear actuators and thermal actuators in MEMS domain, and piezoceramic actuators ate illustrated as some of the applications of single-piece compliant transmissions. Additionally the concept of distributed compliance is illustrated with applications to shape-changing structures such as adaptive airfoils.

Current Design

Soil nailing is being used in many projects in glacial tills in Ireland, particularly to provide temporary support to steep slopes. Little design guidance is available for such materials, and it is known that the application of design procedures developed for other material is conservative. Detailed nail instrumentation and field monitoring has been undertaken during large-scale soil nailing works for the Dublin Port Tunnel project. It was found that the short-term behaviour of nails was the reverse of that assumed in current design methods. Most of the load was induced as a results of drilling and nailing the lift immediately below the nail being monitored rather than due to excavation-induced stress relief. The highest forces were developed in the upper nails where the largest ground movements occurred. This is the reverse of most current design methods where the highest soil–nail bond is assigned to the deepest nails. It seems that the observed short-term, prefailure behaviour of nailed slopes is governed more by the deformation pattern of the slope than by large-scale development of failed wedges. Current design procedures should be reviewed. Despite this, the trial confirmed that the currently used procedures are highly conservative for Dublin glacial till.

Partial Safety Factors

Test data for plate girders failing in shear have been used as the basis for a calibration of the two design procedures given in Eurocode 3 (EC3). The shear buckling resistances predicted by the simple post-critical and tension field methods were used in a modification of the Annex Z method for determining the numerical values of partial safety factors on resistance to achieve the target reliability of the Code. The analyses demonstrated that plate girder design falls well short of the recommended target reliability and an adjustment to the design methods is therefore proposed.

Design Council

Co-design is a process in which designers and users collaborate as ‘equals’ to develop innovative solutions. Co-design methods are increasingly used by professional designers to facilitate and enable users to co-develop innovative solutions for ‘themselves’. For example, the Design Council is advocating the use of co-design methods to support the development of practical innovative solutions to social problems such as increased cost of elderly care and tackling child poverty. The involvement of users in developing solutions acknowledges that their take up is dependent on the ways users create and negotiate meanings of objects and services.

Described as units developing public policies in a design-oriented manner, Policy Labs are tasked to innovate to gain in policy effectiveness and efficiency. However, as public policymaking is a context-dependent activity, the way in which these novel organisations operate significantly differs. This study discusses the emergence of design approaches for policy innovation. The purpose is to map how Policy Labs in Europe introduce design approaches at distinct stages of the policymaking cycle. For this study, 30 organisations in Europe operating at various levels of government were surveyed. Based on the public policymaking process model, it investigates which design methods are Policy Labs deploying to innovate public policies. The study exposed a gap in the awareness of the utilised methods' nature. It also showed that the use of design methods is of less importance than the introduction of design mindsets for public policy innovation, namely ‘user-centredness’, ‘co-creation’, and ‘exploration’.
