Accelerating preliminary low-carbon design for products by integrating TRIZ and Extenics methods

Low-carbon performance as well as the quality and cost of a new product are normally emphasized in the early phase of low-carbon design for products. Although the TRIZ method and Extenics theory can be applied separately to solve contradiction problems in design field, these two methods have their w...
