Effect of disconnection of deformable units on the mobility and stiffness of 3D prismatic modular origami structures using angular kinematics

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Architected modular origami structures show potential for future robotic matter owing to their reconfigurability with multiple mobilities. Similar to modular robots, the units of modular origami structures do not need to be assembled in a fully packed ...

Traceability and modularity in software design [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings Ninth International Workshop on Software Specification and Design, 2002
A software design specification consists of a number of documents that describe various aspect of the design at different levels of detail, that are linked in many ways. This paper shows how different designs may use different modularization criteria, and how documents describing these designs may be linked in a coherent way, even if the designs use ...

Supporting `Design for Re-use' with Modular Design [PDF]

open access: yesConcurrent Engineering, 2007
Engineering design reuse refers to the utilization of any knowledge gained from the design activity to support future design. As such, engineering design reuse approaches are concerned with the support, exploration, and enhancement of design knowledge prior, during, and after a design activity.

Making a Case for Modularity

open access: yesCubic Journal, 2020
What we design and how it is made are intimately connected. The need to make modular components is a consequence of construction methodology and disposition in production and manufacturing.

Telepathology: Design of a Modular System [PDF]

open access: yesAnalytical Cellular Pathology, 2000
Although telepathology systems have been developed for more than a decade, they are still not a widespread tool for routine diagnostic applications. Lacking interoperability, software that is not satisfying user needs as well as high costs have been identified as reasons.
