An Interactive Support For Developing Environmentally Friendly Product Lifecycles
(2011-08-04)
Products make substantial impact on environment. Design for Environment (DfE) is an approach to design where all the environmental impacts of a product are considered over entire products life. Since over 80% of the product ...
Supporting Novelty In Conceptual Phase Of Engineering Design
(2013-10-08)
Current design models, approaches and theories are highly fragmented, have seldom been compared with one another, and rarely attempted to be consolidated. Novelty is a measure of creativity of engineering products and ...
Understanding Context In Designing
(2009-05-25)
Everything around us that is not a simple untouched piece of nature has been designed by someone. Human society has found a great refuge in these designed objects or the artefacts, and thus has adapted vociferously to their ...
A Geometric Framework For Vision Modeling In Digital Human Models Using 3D Tessellated Head Scans
(2011-08-25)
The present work deals with the development of a computational geometric framework for vision modeling for performing visibility and legibility analyses in Digital Human Modeling (DHM) using the field-of-view (FoV), estimated ...
A Feasibility Map-Based Framework and Its Implementation for Selection in Engineering Design
(2018-06-26)
A pragmatic method for selecting components and devices from a database or parameterized models is developed in this thesis. The quantitative framework presented here is sufficiently general to accommodate an entire device ...
Analysis of Vehicle Dynamics and Control of Occupant Biodynamics using a Novel Multi-Occupant Vehicle Model
(2018-06-26)
Due to the detrimental effects of ride vibrations on occupants and increasing safety concerns, improvement in vehicle dynamic characteristics has become a key focus of researchers. Typically, ride and handling problems ...
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 ...
Advanced Simulation Methodologies For Crashworthiness And Occupant Safety Assessment Of An Indian Railways Passenger Coach
(2013-05-21)
Accidents involving passenger trains happen regularly in India. The reasons for such accidents could be many; such as weather and flooding, faulty tracks, bridge collapse, collisions caused by signaling errors, mechanical ...
Development Of A Knowledge-Based Hybrid Methodology For Vehicle Side Impact Safety Design
(2011-08-05)
The present research work has been carried out to develop a unified knowledge-based hybrid methodology combining regression-based, lumped parameter and finite element analyses that can be implemented in the initial phase ...
Sustainability by Design : A Descriptive Model of Interaction and a Prescriptive Framework for Intervention
(2017-11-13)
Introduction: Sustainability is humanity’s collective ability to sustain development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their own needs. Preceding closely ...
