Development of a Catalogue of Physical Laws and Effects Using SAPPhIRE Model

Abstract

This paper explains the development of a catalogue of physical laws and effects using SAPPhIRE model. SAPPhIRE (State change, Action, Parts, Phenomenon, Input, oRgans, Effect) model was found to describe outcomes in designing. In this paper we report on the relationships between SAPPhIRE constructs, identified during the catalogue development. Issues and challenges faced while developing the catalogue and plans for further development of the catalogue are shown.
