Study on Green Innovative Design Based on Function Analysis

Abstract

The aim of green innovative design is to improve environment efficient by function innovation. In order to help designer to generate new product ideas giving attention to customer needs and environment demands, a green innovative design framework based on function analysis is proposed. This framework integrates green design rules and environment factors into the process of function innovation. By analyzing and resolving the functions that will bring environment loads, the new product ideas with low environment impact and energy consumption are obtained. A case study is also presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design framework.

Study on Efficiency-Reinforcement Design Methods for Elastomeric Hydraulic Reciprocating Sealing

“…It is also the stages that need designer creative ideation and generate inventive ideas by using of the science principle, axiomatic and his practice work skill. Previous research has proposed the function design method which is aiming at the seal's function shortcoming to get the improving design solution [3], seal design methods driven by the technology evolution which is aiming at the evolutional process of seal to obtain the seal new concept [4], seal design methods driven by the ideal final result which is aiming at the conflicts resolving of seal evolution towards ideal seal to discover the seal design solution [2]. They are all the valid methods for seal efficiency reinforcement principle design.…”

A Green Design Method for a Rust-Off Machine Based on QFDE and Function Analysis

“…Agrawal et al [15] studied the role of modular scalability on green design, and showed that modular scalability can make products more environmentally friendly. Previous conceptual design research includes that of Zhang et al [16], who built a green innovative design framework through functional analysis. This method can meet customers' needs in the early concept stage.…”
