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 ...
Supporting Environmentally-benign Design at Conceptual Stage
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 ...
Synthesis and testing of eco-friendly, non-toxic cutting fluid emulsions
The evolutions in the development of metal working fluid (MWF) from petroleum based products have brought remarkable changes to the present growing machining industry. The established MWF/Cutting fluids have reduced the ...
Acquiring diagnostic knowledge from documents to predict issues in aircraft assembly
Expert knowledge is important in a product's lifecycle, especially during the manufacturing
part of the lifecycle. Most of such knowledge is obtained through experience and its reuse can
help prevent potential issues in ...
Development of Support for Assessment of Creativity, Novelty and Requirement Satisfaction in Designing
The topic of this research in this thesis is creativity assessment of solutions developed in the engineering design process as a means of aiding designers to focus their creative effort during the process. Both engineering ...
Information Extraction and Mapping for Populating Ontologies in Product Lifecycle Management
Computer-based tools used to manage a product's lifecycle from the cradle to the grave need to share product information across phases. If this information is well structured, accessing, and manipulating such information ...
Intelligent Gaze Controlled Interface for Limited Mobility Environment
Eye movement-based Human Computer Interaction (HCI) has become a significant area of research in computer science. The gaze-based computing devices allow a computer to be controlled using only eye movements, which can be ...
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) ...
