For example, if a heavy gear and a shaft are designed with modularity with respect to repair ability then repairer can easily disassemble worn out gear from shaft to repair it.
The embodied interface was designed with modularity in mind: it is intended to be used flexibly in learning environments that may differ in their learning objectives, but share a core commitment to investigating the role of embodiment in spatial thinking.
Author suggested that modular designing must be incorporated with repair ability of that component, for example, if the shaft of water pump is designed with modularity in context of repair ability then design must be such that only worn out part of the shaft must be dismantled instead of whole shaft which will result in both cost and time saving.
One highlight of the described modeling approach is that methods were designed with modularity.
To combat these challenges, researchers should develop a framework for describing and reasoning about biological information, design systems with modularity in mind, and investigate how to predictively describe the diverse sources and consequences of metabolic load and stress.
Enzymes from distinct sources can be combined to construct desired reaction cascades with fewer biological constraints in one vessel, enabling easier pathway design with high modularity.
Wright designed the houses with modularity in mind: they can be taken apart and reassembled, block by block.
The main research idea is to integrate eco-design with product family design by modularity.
The vast majority of modern implants incorporate modularity into their design with some implants having multiple modular interfaces.
With an aim to create a systematic approach to energy-saving product design, the authors integrate the axiomatic design and modularity design theories with energy factor, and the energy factor is eventually optimized together with other major design factors in a multiple objective decision making model.
This principle is used together with modularity and hierarchy to guide the design of large-scale complex software systems.
