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 ...
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 ...
Finite Element Modeling of Knee Joint to Study Tibio-Femoral Contact Machanics
(2018-05-10)
Articular cartilage covers the articulating ends of diarthrodial joints. It plays a vital role in the function of the musculoskeletal system by allowing almost frictionless motion to occur between the articular surfaces ...
Feature-based Approach for Semantic Interoperability of Shape Models
(2018-02-20)
Semantic interoperability (SI) of a product model refers to automatic exchange of meaning associated with the product data, among applications/domains throughout the product development cycle. In the product development ...
An Integrative Approach to Vision Simulations using Digital Human Models
Digital Human Models (DHM), belong to a class of human-in-the-loop simulations having primary applications in the area of virtual ergonomics, virtual prototyping, and task evaluations. These models replicate physical and ...
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 ...
