Conceptual design using axiomatic design in a TRIZ framework

This paper explores the symbiotic relationship that can be established between axiomatic design and TRIZ, capitalizing on each method‘s strengths and simultaneously minimizing their weaknesses. Through a contextual example the paper illustrates how axiomatic independence axiom principles can be utilized to select appropriate standard solutions once a physical contradiction has been identified. It concludes by showing ways to use the same AD principles to qualitatively evaluate generated designs.
