Requirements management is a challenging task. For complex products, many thousands of requirements need to be managed, i.e. initially set, allocated, changed, verified etc. An approach to solving this problem is to use IT-based requirements management tools. The paper presents an empirical study of the application of such a tool...
This paper reviews studies that have successfully applied DFP techniques in a variety of product domains. In addition, the paper discusses how product development teams can create new DFP techniques that will help them create more profitable products. The presentation of these examples and guidelines should encourage the use of...
This paper describes a study, in which a dynamic finite element model is developed for pulley belt-drive systems and is employed to determine the transient and steady-state response of a prototypical belt-drive. The belt is modeled using standard truss elements, while the pulleys are modeled using rotating circular constraints, for...
