Elastic design. Tools for alternative understandings
… mind. This practice-based project in speculative design explores possibilities for disrupting everyday constructs of reality, which are apparent in regulations of time, space and matter. These constructs underpin notions of predictability and universal validity. Hybridity and complexity challenge …

Design tools for linear viscoelastic fluids
Engineering design often makes use of conventional materials such as hard, elastic solids and simple, Newtonian fluids. Rheologically-complex materials (non-Newtonian fluids and soft solids) demonstrate useful and novel properties in both engineered and biological systems. Incorporating these …

Material feedback in digital design tools
How do design tools feedback material behavior to the designer? Digital design tools in use by designers today provide a rich environment for design of form but offer little feedback of the material that ultimately realize that form. This lack of materialism limits the value of the design tool and …

Generative models for predictive UI design tools
User interface (UI) design is a central part of the mobile app creation process, which involves specifying the elements that should be placed on a screen, and how they should be arranged and styled. This paper introduces a generative model approach to predictive design for mobile UI layouts. Given …

Digital preservation auditing metrics as design tools for digital repositories
… indicating their use-value as development tools in addition to assessment tools. The addition of third-party support to these standards could facilitate a better guide to interacting with third parties during planning stages, and ultimately improve digital preservation standards and the …

Analyzing how optimization features impact people's use of design tools
Design is the first step in creating a product but can be the most challenging. Much design software has been created to meet these needs, but these tools consider only a small part of the design process. This limitation stunts creativity and provides challenges to designers when trying to solve …

Explorations of computer-based design tools for urban design projects
… computers, information, and automation in the designing of large-scale environments. It is an attempt to understand the issues at root in developing an "intelligent" design environment which provides tools for handling tasks often too mundane and distracting for sustained design activity. In …

Design space exploration and optimization using modern ship design tools
Modern Naval Architects use a variety of computer design tools to explore feasible options for clean sheet ship designs. Under the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division (NSWCCD) has created computer tools for ship design and analysis purposes. This …

Design tools and predictions for nonlinear elastic solids in soft machine design
Soft machine design is a new frontier for using and designing rheologically complex materials, however we lack a systematic design toolbox for such efforts. We study existing design tools (Chapter 1), identify limitations (Chapter 1), and present new design tools (Chapter 2) for …

Network coding, multi-packet reception, and feedback : design tools for wireless broadcast networks
In this thesis, we address the combination of three technologies in wireless broadcast networks: network coding, multi-packet reception (MPR) and feedback. We will primarily discuss the performance of a single-hop network, both with and without these technologies. A single-hop network can be used …
