  2. 1. In conversation with simulation: The application of numerical simulation to the design of structural nodal connections

    Author : Jens Olsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; 3D Printing; Design theory; Structural design; Structural efficiency; Simulation; Peridynamics; Force flux density; Nodal connections; Conceptual design; Steel structures; Design process; Digital design;

    Abstract : The thesis explores methods for integration of structural analysis, design and production in a digital design environment. The somewhat ambiguous title implies the ambition to make such integration in relation to the explorative phase of the design process which is described by Donald Schön as having a conversational character.

  4. 2. Embodying Openness: A Pragmatist Exploration into the Aesthetic Experience of Design Form-Giving

    Author : Ariana Amacker; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Design research; pragmatism; aesthetic experience; form-giving; arts-based learning;

    Abstract : This thesis explores the tension between a reflective view of design and design as an embodied, aesthetic experience. Most research exploring the nature of design follows a tradition of practice-based design research, which aims to empirically establish what constitutes design by studying what designers do and say.

  5. 3. On synthesis in the later phases of the mechanical engineering design process

    Author : Damien Motte; Innovation; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; detail design; verbal protocol analysis; problem solving; mechanical engineering design process; design activity; embodiment design; design analysis; machine design; maskinkonstruktion;

    Abstract : Only 15% to 30% of product development projects require the development of new product concepts. This means that the majority of design projects are carried out within the embodiment design and detail design phases. READ MORE

  6. 4. Same needs but different meanings. A comparison and analysis of the individual assistive mobility transfer device needs of four different categories of users

    Author : Pamela Lindgren; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; user-centred design; user studies; assistive technology; user needs;

    Abstract : The purpose of this licentiate thesis is to contribute to the knowledge about user needs for individual mobility assistive technology (AT) transfer devices. Two qualitative user studies, which were part of a design project, constitute the empirical data. READ MORE

  7. 5. Demystifying the Black Box - Exploring How Users Make Sense of Fully Automated Vehicles

    Author : Mikael Johansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Automated vehicles; Driving Automation; Meaning; Conceptual model; Make sense; Product semantics; Signifiers; Understanding;

    Abstract : Vehicles are becoming increasingly automated. Already today vehicles are able to take over and assist the human driver in certain driving tasks, and the scope of technical possibilities is rapidly expanding. However, for the proliferation of AVs to occur, there are several challenges that must first be overcome. READ MORE
