Abstract A methodology is presented for automating or at least aiding a human designer in selection of a design concept for given design requirements. Futhermore the proposed methodology provides reasonable estimates for the various parameters of the design structure. This is accomplished by representing design requirements and design parameters as multidimensional vectors and performing appropriate interpolations to estimate feasible solutions.

Abstract This paper discusses the concept of managing the design process using Objected Oriented Programming Paradigm. A software system shell, called MetaDesigner is being developed for aiding the human designer to create new designs, based on the hierarchical nature of the design space. This system shell is intended to have the following capabilities: (1) interactive and system-guided design process to analyze design structure and to characterize design options, (2) to provide interactive and system-guided knowledge acquisition, classification, and retrieval to achieve machine learning, and (3) to build a flexible and forever expandable structure for knowledge-based system implementation.

Abstract This paper consists of a study of the mechanical engineering design methodology and the development of a computer-based framework for performing design. The framework, known as the Design Shell, provides the essential design tools, such as, constraint manager, nonlinear simultaneous equation solvers, optimizers, sensitivity analyzer, and graphics handler, in an interactive design environment. The design shell attempts to enhance the designer’s understanding of the relationships between the various design parameters and how these affect the overall design. As an illustration of the capabilities of the computer tool, the design of a torsion bar spring is presented in the paper.

Objective: This article describes and analyzes the main concepts of coastal ecosystems, these as a result of research concerning land-use change assessments in coastal areas. Design/Methodology/Approach: Scientific articles were searched using keywords in English and Spanish. Articles regarding land-use change assessment in coastal areas were selected, discarding those that although being on coastal zones and geographic and soil identification did not use Geographic Information System (GIS). Results: A GIS is a computer-based tool for evaluating the land-use change in coastal areas by quantifying variations. It is analyzed through GIS and its contributions; highlighting its importance and constant monitoring. Limitations of the study/Implications: This research analyzes national and international scientific information, published from 2007 to 2019, regarding the land-use change in coastal areas quantified with the digital GIS tool. Findings/Conclusions: GIS are useful tools in the identification and quantitative evaluation of changes in land-use in coastal ecosystems; which require constant evaluation due to their high dynamism.

In this article, we have first presented a metasurface design methodology by coupling the acoustic cavity to the coiled channel. The geometrical design parameters in this structure are subsequently studied both analytically and numerically to identify a road map for silencer design. Next, upon tuning the design parameters, we have introduced an air-permeable noise barrier capable of sound silencing in the ultrawide band of the frequency. It is has been shown that the presented metasurface can achieve +10 dB sound transmission loss from 170 Hz to 1330 Hz (≈3 octaves). Furthermore, we have numerically studied the ventilation and heat transfer performance of the designed metasurface. Enabling noise mitigation by leveraging the proposed metasurface opens up new possibilities ranging from residential and office noise reduction to enabling ultralow noise fan, propellers, and machinery.

Abstract Conventional multiband antennas suffer from strong interactions among different operating frequencies, complex configurations, low bandwidth, and reduced efficiencies. A design concept for a multibeam multiband antenna in wireless devices is proposed in this paper. The design concept provides a promising approach to augment transmission and reception. The principle of design involves a primary radiating element embedded in a triplate conformation which excites a passive array of multiple frequency secondary radiators, forming a frequency selective structure in triplate (FSST). The higher order mode behavior of the parent antenna characterizes the design of FSST placed in its nearfield. The mathematical modeling and analysis of the design methodology is also presented. As proof of concept, the proposed design methodology is validated with simulations and experiments at four unlicensed communication bands and the results are compared.
