Abstract
This thesis presents an investigation of a System Architecture (SA) as defined within Axiomatic Design (AD) theory. A system design is essentially the same as the design of simple products, when considered within the theory of Axiomatic Design. This correspondence enables the Axiomatic Design framework for a design process to be applicable to the design of systems. A list of hypotheses is presented to fonnalize the issues concerning system design using Axiomatic Design and the concept of System Architecture. The aim is to provide an understanding of the concept of System Architecture in Axiomatic Design for designers to design a system in a ratioral approach. The hypotheses address three issues: system representation, system design, and the coordination of system elements. Fundamental concepts within Axiomatic Design support these hypotheses, and an industrial case study illustrates the validity of the hypotheses. The concept of System Architecture and system design using Axiomatic Design discussed in this thesis can contribute to the development of a rational approach to the design of a system.
