Abstract

Sustainability in industrial design aims to provide a better world for future generations by reducing the energy and resource consumption used in the design of products or services. After the industrial design is completed, the products are transformed into a form that will take their place in our lives through the engineering design process. However, during this process, the features that industrial design focuses on may be lost or damaged. This situation reveals the importance of sustainable design strategies by creating various economic and time losses. In order to minimize the aforementioned problems, changes were made to the mechanical design of the products whose industrial design was carried out by an engineering company. It is aimed to strengthen the mechanical strength of the form with changes that do not affect the outer form. Four options were created for each of the two electricity meter models, the structures of which are shell structures and the products to be produced with polymer materials, which differ in size and three-axis ratios, and mechanical strength was analyzed with engineering analysis programs. With the method in the study, it has been revealed that the problem can be solved without the need to make radical changes due to strength in the industrial designs of product groups with similar structures. Thus, a method has been developed within the framework of sustainable product and service design strategies, and it is thought that this method will increase efficiency in the business model and cause less energy and resource consumption.

Sürdürülebilir Ürün ve Hizmet Tasarımı Stratejisi için Yöntem Geliştirme: Kabuk Strüktüre Sahip Polimer Ürünler

Abstract

Endüstriyel tasarımda sürdürülebilirlik, ürünlerin veya hizmetlerin tasarlanması sürecinde kullanılan enerjinin ve kaynakların azaltılarak verimli kullanılması ile gelecek nesillere daha iyi bir dünya bırakmayı içermektedir. Ürünler, endüstriyel tasarım gerçekleştirildikten sonra mühendislik tasarımı süreci ile birlikte hayatımızdaki yerlerini alacak forma dönüştürülmektedir. Ancak bu süreç zarfında endüstriyel tasarımın odaklandığı özellikler yitirilebilmekte veya zarar görebilmektedir. Bu durum çeşitli ekonomik ve zaman kayıplarını oluşturarak sürdürülebilir tasarım stratejilerinin önemini ortaya çıkarmaktadır. Söz konusu problemlerin en aza indirgenebilmesi için özel bir mühendislik şirketi ile endüstriyel tasarımı gerçekleştirilen ürünler üzerinden mekanik tasarımda değişikler yapılmıştır. Dış forma etki etmeyen değişiklikler ile formun mekanik mukavemetinin güçlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Strüktürleri kabuk strüktür olan, polimer malzeme ile üretilecek ürünlerin ölçü ve üç eksene göre oranlarının farklı olduğu iki elektrik sayacı modeli üzerinden dörder opsiyon oluşturulmuş, mühendislik analizi programları ile mekanik mukavemet analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmadaki yöntem ile benzer strüktüre sahip ürün gruplarının endüstriyel tasarımlarında mukavemet sebepli köklü değişikliklere gidilmesine gerek olmadan da sorunun çözülebileceği ortaya konmuştur. Böylece sürdürülebilir ürün ve hizmet tasarımı stratejileri çerçevesinde bir yöntem geliştirilmiş, söz konusu yöntem ile iş modelinde verimin arttırılarak daha az enerji ve kaynak tüketilmesine sebep olması düşünülmektedir.
