Digital Human Models (DHMs) are representations of humans in virtual environments that have applications in diverse disciplines. In the context of engineering design, DHMs are used to assess if a proposed design satisfies ...

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a layer-based manufacturing process aimed at producing parts directly from a Computer-aided design (CAD) model. There are various types of AM systems, which can be classified based on: (i) ...

This thesis aims to detect spatial and non-spatial conflicts in product design arising out of requirements in different design domains. Handling such conflicts requires modelling the non-geometric knowledge outside the ...

An ‘environmentally-benign design’ is defined as that which causes little or no harm to the natural environment and may be achieved by reducing the environmental impact of the design solutions conceptualised, to be ...

This thesis revisits the design of a planar supersonic nozzle for a supersonic wind tunnel using the method of characteristics (MOC) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). While design of a converging-diverging (CD) ...

High specific-strength materials with high toughness can reduce the weight of automobile and aerospace components. Lightweight components for these applications are essential, as they can significantly improve fuel efficiency. ...

Matrix cracking is the first and most dominant mode of damage in polymer matrix composite (PMC) laminates resulting in significant stiffness degradation under static and fatigue loading. Matrix crack evolution and its ...

The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has emerged as a highly efficient model for the simulation of incompressible flows in the last few decades. Its extension to compressible flows is hindered by the fact that the ...
