Abstract

In the seminal conceptual idea that things derive from other things, in this chapter we will show examples of design that have been developed at the level of useful prototypes. They remained at this level, since they were designed as single units and it was considered not suitable at that time to transform them into large batch products. Only later, did some of them become first models of others, but outside the responsibility of the authors. Nevertheless, these prototypes have received confirmation of their usefulness in special environments, (as equipment in national laboratories and private companies’ research centers).

Value analysis is a plan-based procedure for minimizing costs under the influence of comprehensive aspects. Calculated costs of the individual components are used to establish those costs that arise in fulfilling the overall function and the requisite sub-functions. This investigation produces important indications in the search for new solutions with worthwhile cost reductions [1].

A structure is hyperstatic (or statically indeterminate) when the static equilibrium equations are insufficient to determine the internal forces and reactions on that structure, since unknown forces (or variables) are more than the equilibrium equations.

One of the authors is indebted to the late maestro E. Funaioli for this observation.
