The contradiction matrix, one of the first tools of TRIZ, remains one of the most popular. (Ref.1)
The matrix itself, and the 40 principles of problem solving to which it refers can be downloaded from the July, 1997, issue
of The TRIZ Journal. The same issue has a tutorial article on how to use the matrix and the 40 principles. (Ref. 2)
One barrier to using the matrix has been the very brief statements of the features that are the lists of improving and
worsening features. The following expanded list was prepared by comparing several different translations (ref. 3,4,5) and
has proven useful in several test classes.

16 - PARTIAL OR OVERDONE ACTION


If it is impossible to get 100% of a desired effect, do somewhat more or less to greatly simplify the problem
a)
b)

A cylinder is painted by dipping into paint, but contains more paint than desired. Excess paint is then removed by rapidly
rotating the cylinder.
To obtain uniform discharge of a metallic powder from a bin, the hopper has a special internal funnel which is continually
overfilled to provide nearly constant pressure.

17 - SHIFTING TO A NEW DIMENSION


a) Increase the degree of freedom of the object. or use all its planes
b) Use a multi-layered objects assembly instead of a single layer
c) Incline the object or turn it on its side
A greenhouse which has a concave reflector on the northern part of the house to improve illumination of that part of the
house by reflecting sunlight during the day.

2/5

40 PRINCIPLES of TRIZ
18 - MECHANICAL VIBRATION
a) Set an object into oscillation, or increase the frequency of existing oscillation
b) Use ultrasonic vibrations in conjunction with an electromagnetic field
c) Utilize the resonant frequency
d) Instead of mechanical vibrations use piezoelectric vibrators
a)
b)

To remove a cast from the body without injuring the skin, a conventional hand saw was replaced with a vibrating knife.

b) If an action is already periodic, change its frequency
c) Use pauses between impulses to provide additional action
a)
b)

An impact wrench loosens corroded nuts using impulses rather than continuous force.
A warning lamp flashes so that it is even more noticeable than when continuously lit.

20 - CONTINUITY OF A USEFUL ACTION


a) Carry out an action continuously (i.e. without pauses) when all parts of an object operate at full capacity
b) Remove idle and intermediate motions
A drill with cutting edges which permit cutting in forward and reverse directions.
21 - RUSHING THROUGH
Perform hurtful or hazardous operations at the highest possible speed
A cutter for thin-walled plastic tubes prevents tube deformation during cutting by running at a very high speed (i.e. cuts before
the tube has a chance to deform).
22 - CONVERT HARM INTO BENEFIT
a) Utilize hurtful factors or environmental effects to obtain a positive effect
b) Remove a hurtful factor by combining it with another harmful factor
c) Increase the amount of harmful action until it ceases to be hurtful
a)
b)

Sand or gravel freezes solid when transported through cold climates. Over-freezing (using liquid nitrogen) makes the ice
brittle, permitting pouring.
When using high frequency current to heat metal, only the outer layer became hot. This negative effect was later used
for surface heat-treating.

23 - FEEDBACK
a) Introduce feedback
b) If feedback already exists, reverse it
a)
b)

Water pressure from a well is maintained by sensing output pressure and turning on a pump if pressure is too low.
Ice and water are measured separately but must combine to total a specific weight. Because ice is difficult to dispense
precisely, it is measured first. The weight is then fed to the water control device, which precisely dispenses the needed
amount.

24 - GO-BETWEEN (MEDIATOR)
a) Use an intermediary object to transfer or carry out an action
b) Temporarily connect an object to another one that is easy to remove

Replace solid parts by gas or liquid e.g., for inflation, or use air or hydrostatic cushions
a)
b)

To increase the draft of an industrial chimney, a spiral pipe with nozzles was installed. When air flows through the
nozzles, it creates an air-like wall, reducing drag.

31 - USE OF POROUS MATERIALS
a) Make an object porous or add porous elements (inserts, covers, etc.)
b) A porous object fill with a substance in advance
To avoid pumping coolant to a machine, some of its parts are filled with a porous material soaked in coolant liquid. The
coolant evaporates when the machine is working, providing short-term uniform cooling.
32 - CHANGING A COLOR
a)
b)
c)
d)

Change the color of an object or its surroundings


Change the degree of translucency of an object or processes which are difficult to see
Use colored additives to observe objects or processes which are difficult to see
If such additives are already used, employ luminescent traces or tracer elements

a)
b)

A transparent bandage enabling a wound to be inspected without removing the dressing.


A water curtain used to protect steel mill workers from overheating blocked infrared rays but not the bright light from the
melted steel. A coloring was added to the water to create a filter effect while preserving the transparency of the water.

33 - HOMOGENEITY
Make those objects which interact with a primary object out of the same or similar material
The surface of a feeder for abrasive grain is made of the same material that runs through the feeder, allowing a continuous
restoration of the surface.

34 - REJECTING AND REGENERATING PARTS
a) Reject or modify (e.g. discard, dissolve, evaporate) an element (object) when it completed its function or become
useless,
b) Immediately restore any exhausted (or depleted) part of an object
a)
b)

Bullet casings are ejected after the gun fires.


Rocket boosters separate after serving their function.

35 - TRANSFORMATION OF THE PHYSICAL AND/OR CHEMICAL STATES OF AN OBJECT


Change an object's aggregate state, density distribution, degree of flexibility, temperature
a)
b)

In a system for brittle friable materials, the surface of the spiral feedscrew was made from an elastic material with two
spiral springs. To control the process, the pitch of the screw could be changed remotely.
Change the composition to a stronger metal alloy used for the can wall to increase the load bearing capacity.

36 - PHASE TRANSITIONS
Implement an effect developed during the phase transition of a substance. For instance, during the change of volume,
liberation or absorption of heat.
To control the expansion of ribbed pipes, they are filled with water and cooled to a freezing temperature.
37 - THERMAL EXPANSION
a) Use a material which expands or contracts with heat
b) Use various materials with different coefficients of heat expansion
To control the opening of roof windows in a greenhouse, bimetallic plates are connected to the windows. A change in
temperature bends the plates, causing the window to open or close.
38 - USE STRONG OXIDIZERS
a) Replace normal air with enriched air
b) Replace enriched air with oxygen
c) Treat an object in air or in oxygen with ionizing radiation
d) Use ionized oxygen
To obtain more heat from a torch, oxygen is fed to the torch instead of atmospheric air.
39 - INERT ENVIRONMENT
Replace the normal environment with an inert one or by vacuum
To prevent cotton from catching fire in a warehouse, it is treated with inert gas while being transported to the storage area.
40 - COMPOSITE MATERIALS
Replace a homogeneous material with a composite one
Military aircraft wings are made of composites of plastics and carbon fibers for high strength and low weight.
