Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a tracking device is launched to follow a fleeing vehicle, then the tracking device can obtain location and route information, but the attachment becomes ineffective when launched and information transmission reliability is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The tracking device is divided into two separate components: a head portion for attachment to the vehicle and a body portion containing electric parts. This segmentation allows the head to be optimized for attachment effectiveness while the body houses the power and communication systems, resolving the contradiction between attachment reliability and information transmission reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
A coupling mesh is introduced as an intermediary component between the head and body portions. This coupling mesh ensures reliable mechanical connection while allowing the head to maintain effective attachment to the vehicle, thereby improving both attachment effectiveness and information transmission reliability.
2Reliability
If the head is made with adhesive substance for attachment, then attachment effectiveness is improved, but the structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The head is constructed using composite materials including adhesive substances and elastic materials. This allows the head to achieve effective attachment through the adhesive properties while the elastic materials provide structural integrity, maintaining a relatively simple overall structure despite the functional requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
Different portions of the head are made from materials with different properties: adhesive substances are applied to specific attachment areas where bonding is needed, while other areas use elastic materials for structural support. This localized application of different material qualities achieves effective attachment without unnecessarily complicating the entire head structure.
3Reliability
If cushioning portion is added to absorb impact, then attachment reliability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
A cushioning portion is incorporated into the body structure to absorb impact forces before they can damage the electric parts or affect attachment reliability. This beforehand cushioning protects the internal components and maintains attachment reliability without requiring complex protective mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The cushioning portion is implemented using flexible elastic materials that can deform to absorb impact energy. This flexible approach provides effective shock absorption and protects the internal structure while maintaining a relatively simple overall body structure compared to rigid protective enclosures.
