Axiomatic Design
Axiomatic Design (AD) is a systems engineering methodology that enables the creation of good system designs by improving the causality of system functionality, the system’s physical realisation, and manufacturing processes.
This is done by using mathematical principles that describe independence between these elements. AD contributes to a better understanding of main and alternative design options. Its applications extend across various industries, from mechanical engineering to (bio)medical systems and even social systems. AD is particularly suitable for addressing problems in high-tech systems development. This Mikroniek article outlines what AD is and how it can be applied.
