Applications of Advanced CAE Methodologies to Orthopaedic Implant and Vehicle Occupant cum Pedestrian Safety Countermeasure Design
In the present work, experimental and numerical investigations into the load-displacement responses of a human lumbar Truncated Vertebral Unit (TVU) under quasi-static and impact loading conditions have been carried out ... -
Blast Effects on Mild Steel Plates and Blast Mitigation using Fluid-filled Polymer Foam
In the modern-day society, there are an increasing number of explosions, either by accidental explosions or by terrorist attacks on civilian and military infrastructure. In view of the increased threat to infrastructure ... -
Development of Multipoint Haptic Device for Spatial Palpation
(2018-05-25)This thesis deals with the development of novel haptic array system that can render distributed pressure pattern. The haptic devices are force feedback interfaces, which are widely seen from consumer products to tele-surgical ... -
Formulation of A Framework for Needs Analysis and Stakeholders' Behavioral Simulation for Design for the BOP
Poverty, and associated undesirability, distinguishes a population as Base of the (economic) Pyramid (BoP). Lack of necessities and vulnerability negatively affect the well-being of BoP populations. Literature reveals ... -
Mechanical Characterization of Adhesively Bonded Jute Composite Joints under Monotonic and Cyclic Loading Conditions
(2018-03-15)Fiber-reinforced composites comprise an important class of lightweight materials which are finding increasing applications in engineering structures including body components of automobiles and aircraft. Traditionally, ... -
Supporting Designers in Generating Novel Ideas at the Conceptual Stage Using Analogies from the Biological Domain
The aim of this research is to support designers in novel idea generation using design-by-analogy method, in particular, by using analogies from the biological domain. The motivation behind this research is to aid designers ... -
Supporting Real-Time, Automated Evaluation of Difficulty in Manual Assembly
(2018-08-29)Product designers address the costs of assembly during the design process. Design process can be more efficient if assembly issues could be addressed early in its design process. Doing this requires the ability to assess ...
