Abstract
Introduction
Current state of materials competition
In the past materials competition has often compared similar designs made from
different materials.
Problem
This standard approach
often results in a part-by-part comparison
omits specific advantages of various materials, both primary and secondary
Research questions:
What is necessary to allow a more comprehensive analysis of the competitive
position of alternative materials?
What role can changes of the product architecture play?
How to think about future design/materials choices?
Subjects
