Research on the Role of Art Creation in Ceramic Material Product Design Based on the Perspective of Innovation

Materials are the material basis for product design, and many products design needs to be achieved through Ceramic materials. Materials are not only the material basis of products, but also the hallmark of social civilization. The choice of Ceramic materials is not only one of the decisive factors for the success of product design, but also the key to the artistic aesthetic of the product. The perfect shape, color and function are important, and the material texture can not be ignored, it will affect the final effect of product design. The application of Ceramic materials in product design is too stylized, which seriously restricts the innovative role of Ceramic materials in product design. It is necessary to re-recognize the design characteristics and functions of Ceramic materials and explore their application methods and means. This paper analyzes the importance and complexity of material selection in product design under the perspective of innovation, and further explores the role of material art creation in product design, summarizes the basic principles and methods of material selection in product design, and hopes to pass scientific Ceramic materials.

Material selection in product design under risk and uncertainty introducing the conditional logit in the madm framework

ABSTRACTTo meet all the functional requirements, choosing an appropriate material takes a vital role in product design. Design is a formulation of information or data (quantitative and qualitative) where some degree of risk and uncertainty always exist. Utility value or probabilistic approach is well suited to address the risk and uncertainty. This article explores the selection of materials under risk and uncertainty introducing the Conditional Logit (CLGT) in rational decision-making framework. A cryogenic storage tank and a spar of a human-powered aircraft (HPA) are considered as case studies to check the suitability of the proposed CLGT model in material selection. The result shows the best material for the spar of HPA and for the cryogenic storage tank are composite material and austenitic steel (SS 301 FH) respectively those are consistent with the real-world practice. The results are compared with other multi-attributed decision-making (MADM) methods of previous works with sensitivity analysis.

Research on Material Selection of Product Design under Environmental Awareness

Human demand for artificial objects is multifaceted and constantly changing. Therefore, product design system is becoming more and more complex, and there are various conflicts and constraints between design elements. From the requirement of product design with environmental awareness, this paper expounds the adverse effects of design materials on the environment. On the basis of analyzing the influencing factors of material selection in product design, the influencing factors model of material selection is constructed, and the environmental principles of material selection in product design are put forward to guide designers to realize the sustainable development of design. Based on analyzing the influencing factors of material selection in product design, this paper constructs a model of influencing factors in material selection, puts forward the environmental principles of material selection in product design, and guides designers to realize the sustainable development of design.

Matching Principle of Material Selection in Product Design

Material selection means to select some kind of material which can both meet the structural requirements and reduce cost so as to get the greatest economic interest. This selected material should also be suitable to the environmental conditions and accord with the resources supply. Compared with the other aspects of products design, material selection is the most essential part. Material selection for design is a complex process. It is necessary to construct a system for matching principles of material selection in product design, to ensure it to reach an appropriate goal. This system requires the designer to take into consideration social, economic and technological factors from the perspective of the design itself. It also requires the designer to take the initiative to select, so as to reach the goal of Shi.

Analyses of Immaterial Characters of Materials

This paper firstly analyzes the relationship between materials and product design, then discusses the “materiality” and “immateriality” in product design and put forward the concept of “immateriality” of materials, and then studies them. As a result it is put forward that immaterial characters of materials have important effect on the material selection in product design.

Digital tools for material selection in product design

The increasing number of normalized materials, promoters and users led to a significant amount and diversity of databases and software for material selection, presenting differentiating abilities for the materials selection process. The aim of the present study is the critical analysis of the digital tools for material selection, trying to answer to a few important questions, such as What kind of digital tools exist? How do they work? What properties determine the selection? and What kind of information results from the selection? To materialize this useful and innovative investigation, a bibliographical search was carried out on selection methods, databases, and software for material selection. About three hundred software, databases and website references were collected and, after a previous analysis, 87 were selected for this study. All the relevant information about digital tools was organized in tables, including the name, user conditions, number of materials, “materials family or class”, selection paths, website address, resulting information and a descriptive text. The digital tool’s data on the tables were comparatively analysed. The capabilities and limitations of the existent digital tools, together with the aspects to be developed, are discussed. The availability of the information here reported will be very helpful for designers, engineer students and all kind of professionals performing materials selection for product design.

Material selection in product design subject to environmental taxation and environmentally conscious consumer buying behaviour

As society is increasingly aware of environmental pollutions generated from products, the impact of toxic waste to human and the ecosystem has also received attention. However, the focus on preventing such toxic pollutions from the very source of material selection in product design has yet to gain sufficient research effort. To meet this critical need, this paper studies decision-making in material selection concerning not only traditional cost and quality, but also the potential toxic impact throughout the product's life cycle. This research presents a novel approach to integrate concerns on product cost, quality and toxic impact in material selection process.
