The purpose of design is defined [Mostow, 1985] as the construction of a structure (artifact) description that;
Satisfies a given (probably informal) functional specification,
Conforms to the limitations of the target medium,
Meets implicit or explicit requirements on performance (time, space, power, cost etc.) and structure (style, simplicity etc.),
Satisfies restrictions on the design process itself.
Design activities include
Creativity,
Decision-making,
Modeling.
An iterative decision making activity to produce the plans by which resources are converted: preferably optimally, into systems or devices to meet human needs.
The process that uses engineering tools-mathematics, graphics, language-and scientific principles to evolve a plan, which when fully carried out will satisfy a human need.
The use of scientific principles, technical information and imagination in the definition of a mechanical structure, machine or system to perform pre-specified functions with the maximum economy and efficiency.
A purposeful activity directed toward the goal of fulfilling human needs, particularly those which can be met by the technological factors of our culture.
The complete intellectual process from the conception of an idea based on inspiration, knowledge and experience to its final technical and commercial realization.
Science-based problem solving with social-human awareness, ... a high level intellectual activity.
Original design that involves elaborating an original solution principle for a system with the same task, a similar task or a new task. This may be the case of using a four-bar mechanism in the development of a walking machine.
Adaptive design, which involves adapting a known solution principle to a changing task. Example: Design of a new gearbox, based on the known gear trains.
Variant design, which involves varying the size and/or arrangement of certain aspects of the chosen system, while the function and solution of the system remain, unchanged. Example: Belt Conveyor design; Size of drum and belt width can be computed for a given loading with no change on the design configuration.
One-of-a-kind design; Design of special purpose machines, Prototype machines,
Large, expensive system design; Design of a production line,
Design to code; Shaft design, Boiler design.
Selection design involves choosing one item from a list of similar items; Selection of bearing for a shaft.
Configuration design in which all the components have been designed and the problem is how to assemble them into the complete product; Plant design, Conveyor layout design
Parametric design involves finding values for the variables or parameters that characterize the object being studied; Conveyor design, Crane design.
Original design is the development of a process, component or assembly not previously existing; Design of a machine with a specific purpose.
Others (such as redesign, routine design)
DEFINITIONS FOR
MECHANICAL ENGINEERING DESIGN OR MACHINE DESIGN
... is described as a creative thinking, planning and synthesis supported by analyses in order to produce a machine or system that will accomplish a predefined physical work. Besides, having the properties of the general design concept, an important additional characteristic of the machine design therefore is that, the artifact to be designed should have a certain functionality in terms of physical work.
