Abstract:
TRIZ is a methodology, tool set, knowledge base, and
model-based technology for generating innovative ideas and solutions for
problem solving. TRIZ provides tools and methods for use in problem formulation,
system analysis, failure analysis, and patterns of system evolution (both
'as-is' and 'could be'). TRIZ, in contrast to techniques such as brainstorming
(which is based on random idea generation), aims to create an algorithmic
approach to the invention of new systems, and the refinement of old systems.
Some TRIZ is in the public domain. Some TRIZ resides in knowledge bases held by
commercial consulting organizations. A complete and open TRIZ development
process is not yet evident. Various camps vie for control of TRIZ and
interpretation of its findings and applications. In this paper application of
TRIZ principles to spur gear design is showed for the first time.
