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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Interaction Design and Distraction Detection of Drivers in Automobiles
In recent times, usage of electronic devices inside cars while driving has increased due to the introduction of new technologies to keep drivers comfortable and entertained. Systems like satnav ease out the navigation by ...
Development of the Combined Methodology to Understand Designers’ Experimentation and GO-NO-GO Decision-Making during New Product Design and Development
New Product Development (NPD) is the most important activity, which is recognized as the growth engine for product centric organizations to sustain, prosper, and accumulate stakes in the market. Development of new products ...
Reinforcing Visualization Design Using Graphical Primitives of Visual Objects
Data visualization has been established as a powerful tool to help humans understand and communicate information concisely and effectively. It exploits visual perception to extract facts and meanings from data. The ...
Modelling spatial and non-spatial conflicts across multiple design domains
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 ...
Posturing for Autonomous Digital Human Model
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 ...
Design and Development of Hybrid Metal and Polymer Additive Manufacturing System
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) ...
