Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If fixed resistance bands are used, then the device structure is simple, but the resistance levels cannot be adjusted
Solution Approach 1:
The resistance band system is divided into multiple segments with different resistance levels. Each band can be independently selected and attached to the harness, allowing users to combine different resistance levels according to their needs. This segmentation enables adjustable resistance without requiring a completely complex mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The device incorporates adjustable components including removable resistance bands, adjustable harness straps, and movable attachment points. These dynamic elements allow the resistance and configuration to be changed during use, providing adaptability while maintaining a relatively simple base structure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If fixed grip size is used, then the manufacturing is simple, but the grip fit for different users is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The grip system is segmented into multiple size options, with each grip featuring adjustable components such as removable sections or adjustable straps. This allows users to customize the grip size to fit their hand dimensions, while each individual grip component remains relatively simple to manufacture.
Solution Approach 2:
The grip dimensions are made variable through adjustable mechanisms that allow users to change the size parameters of the grip to match their hand size. This provides customization without requiring completely different grips for each user, balancing manufacturing simplicity with adaptability.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple specialized devices are used for different activities, then each device can be optimized for its specific function, but the overall device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The harness system is designed as a universal platform that can accommodate multiple types of resistance bands and attachments for different exercises and activities. The standardized attachment points and modular design allow the same base device to be used for various functions including strength training, rehabilitation, and athletic conditioning, eliminating the need for multiple specialized devices.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple functional components are merged into a single integrated harness system. The device combines resistance band attachments, adjustable straps, multiple grip options, and support structures into one unified system that can perform various functions, reducing the total number of separate devices needed.
4Adaptability or versatility
If non-adjustable tension straps are used, then the device structure is simpler, but the tension level on the grip cannot be customized
Solution Approach 1:
The tension straps are pre-configured with multiple attachment points and adjustment mechanisms that allow users to set the desired tension level before beginning exercise. This preliminary adjustment capability is built into the strap design with standardized components, providing customization without requiring complex real-time adjustment mechanisms during exercise.
