Creative synthesis of the technical solutions in the field of industrial processes

Abstract

When a technical problem is approached, as a direct consequence of analyzing certain distinct existing solutions, an improved solution of the problem could be elaborated. Over the years, some methods able to help the designers were identified and developed. The purpose of this paper was to take into consideration and to develop a succinct comparison of some creative considered methods of solving research problems in the field of industrial processes. The first group of analyzed design method was based on the initial use of the so-called ideas diagram. The results of the analysis were used to propose solutions concerning a device for investigation of the effects developed on sharp peaks by the electrical discharges. The axiomatic design was applied as a creative design method in the case of equipment for the investigation of degradation in time of the subsystems of the computers. The reverse engineering method was considered in the case of a device for supporting the tablet in a convenient position for the user. A final succinct comparison of the three ways of synthesizing an improved solution of a technical problem from the field of industrial processes highlights the essential characteristics of the approached methods.
