1.2. Engineering Design: dualism of description, multicriterion approach to the statement, resolving contradictions

Table 1 “Dualism” in engineering activity

Table 2. Comparison of quality concepts

Technical contradiction (TC) between two or more QQs is considered such a situation when any change of parameters aimed at the change of one QQ within accepted restrictions unavoidably lead to the worsening of minimum one of the rest QQs. The above named QI discloses and quantitatively describes system of technical contradictions. An engineer observes which pairs of QQs are in contradiction and where the contradiction lies - between QQs or between QQ and the restrictions assumed in the statement of the problem.
