2. 21. Towards a circular home: Exploring opportunities for design to support households in sustainable resource use

   Author : Sofie Hagejärd; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; design for sustainability; thermal comfort; smart energy systems; social practice theory; circular product design; circular economy; demand-side management;

   Abstract : Our use of natural resources has grown dramatically in recent years, with negative consequences for both the environment and human health. At home, resource use in the form of energy, water, food, and material objects may be related to a wide range of everyday practices as well as changes to, and adaptations of, our home environments.

4. 22. The mediating role of product representations. A study with three dimensional textiles in early phases of innovation

   Author : Siw Eriksson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; product representations; co-design; 3D textiles;

   Abstract : Smart textiles are understood as textiles, where new functions are integrated to form a textile system that can react and interact with the environment. These new textile systems place completely new demands on the actors in the development process. READ MORE

5. 23. Industrial design : rapid tooling for small and medium sized enterprises

   Author : Anders Håkansson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Industrial Design; Industriell design;

   Abstract : This licentiate thesis combines three different topics, the small business environment, industrial design and rapid tooling. Smaller companies often suffer from lack of resources in many ways and since most theoretical product development methods are formulated for larger companies, this is a problem. READ MORE

6. 24. Collaborative Multidisciplinary Design Optimization for Conceptual Design of Complex Products

   Author : Edris Safavi; Johan Ölvander; Mehdi Tarkian; Hampus Gavel; Jerzy Pokojski; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : MULTIDESCIPLINARY design optimization (MDO) has developed in theory andpractice during the last three decades with the aim of optimizing complexproducts as well as cutting costs and product development time. Despite thisdevelopment, the implementation of such a method in industry is still a challenge andmany complex products suffer time and cost overruns. READ MORE

7. 25. A data-driven approach for Product-Service Systems design : Using data and simulation to understand the value of a new design concept
