Definition
A design framework built upon the two design axioms for good decision-making during the mapping between “what we want (function requirements),” and “how we can achieve them (design parameters).”
Axiomatic Design Terminology
- Axioms:
-
Self-evident truth or fundamental truth for which there are no counterexamples or exceptions. An axiom cannot be derived from other laws or principles of nature.
- Functional Requirements (FRs):
-
A minimum set of independent requirements that completely characterize the needs of the product in the functional domain.
- Constraints:
-
Bounds on acceptable solutions. Constraints are requirements, which may look like FRs but are not independent.
- Design Parameters (DPs):
-
Key variables in the physical domain that characterize the design that satisfies the specific FRs.
- Process Variables (PVs):
-
Key variables in the process domain that characterizes the process that can generate the specific DPs.
