  2. 1. Form & Formlessness : Questioning aesthetic abstractions through art projects, cross-disciplinary studies and product design education

    Author : Cheryl Akner Koler; Edith Ackermann; Konstfack; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Aesthetics; Abstractions; Form; Design; Formgiving; Formlessness; Gestalt; Complexity; cross-disciplinary; Design; Design; Konst; Arts; Designdriven och gestaltande kunskapsproduktion; Designdriven och gestaltande kunskapsproduktion; Sensorium; rumsliga perceptioner; Sensorium; rumsliga perceptioner; Materiella kulturer; Materiella kulturer;

    Abstract : This research is based on empirical, embodied studies aimed to generate and regenerate aesthetic reasoning through three approaches:an educational approach concerned with developing an aesthetic discipline, supporting a formgiving process aimed to create tangible artifacts.an art-based approach supporting an open exploration of distortion and formlessnessa multi-disciplinary exploratory approach concerned with aesthetic experiences shared in laborations demonstrating complexity and transformation.

  4. 2. Geometric Models of Similarity

    Author : Mikael Johannesson; Kognitionsvetenskap; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; symmetry; similarity; separable dimensions; prominence; multidimensional scaling; Minkowski metric; machine learning; integral dimensions; familiarity; geometric models; distance metric; asymmetry; conceptual spaces; Computer science; numerical analysis; systems; control; Datalogi; numerisk analys; system; kontroll; Geometry; algebraic topology; Geometri; algebraisk topologi;

    Abstract : This dissertation examines and discusses some phenomena related to the geometric representation of similarity. It takes its inspiration from the existing body of empirical research within the fields of perceptual and cognitive psychology, but also connects to certain areas of machine learning. READ MORE

  5. 3. Robust Form Division - Manging the Effect of Manufacturing Variation

    Author : Andreas Dagman; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; tolerancing; split-line; empirical studies; platform-based products; method development; visual sensitivity; form division; geometric variation.; robust design;

    Abstract : Product development is a necessity for manufacturing companies to keep market shares as well as gaining new ones. Decisions made in the beginning of the process will affect the final product to a large extent. It is thereby of great importance to be able to detect possible obstacles in the early phases of the product development process. READ MORE

  6. 4. Approximation Algorithms for Geometric Networks

    Author : Mattias Andersson; Data Vetenskap; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; control; systems; numerical analysis; Computer science; Geometric Networks; Computational Geometry; Approximation Algorithms; Datalogi; numerisk analys; system; kontroll; Systems engineering; computer technology; Data- och systemvetenskap;

    Abstract : The main contribution of this thesis is approximation algorithms for several computational geometry problems. The underlying structure for most of the problems studied is a geometric network. READ MORE

  7. 5. Supporting Form Synthesis: Modeling Product Structure and Behavior in a Computerized Environment

    Author : Peter Schachinger; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; design support; Computer-Aided Design; product model; product design; functional modeling; form; specification; industrial design; engineering design; Virtual Reality;

    Abstract : Design of consumer products involves a high degree of uncertainty, especially at the beginning of a project. There therefore exists a need for more accurate decision-making in product synthesis. READ MORE
