Digital material aerospace structures
… the design, fabrication, and performance of digital materials in aerospace structures in three areas: (1) a morphing wing design that adjusts its form to respond to different behavioral requirements; (2) an automated assembly method for truss column structures; and (3) an analysis of the …

Digital material skins : for reversible reusable pressure vessels
… discarding hardware, since the cost to transport materials from Earth is extremely high. Significant improvements need to be made in recovery and reuse of valuable hardware, to be able to lower costs per mission and increase the number of missions. Strategies need to focus on avoiding complete …

Physical finite elements
Engineering with digital materials, by discretely and reversibly assembling structure and function from a mass-produced construction kit of parts, is indeed an exciting vision. The ability to decouple conventionally linked material properties and reach new territory in parameter space has already …

Informational Interfaces: A case study of the impact of discovery systems on biodiversity research and search at the Natural History Museum, London, UK
… from artworks and historical manuscripts to born-digital material such as journal articles. This study investigates the impact of discovery systems on search and research at the Natural History Museum with the objectives: to determine exact attitudes to searching for biodiversity information …

Digital materials for digital fabrication
This thesis introduces digital materials by analogy with digital computation and digital communications. Traditional fabrication techniques include pick-and-place, roll-to-roll, molding, patterning and more. Current research in fabrication includes algorithmic assembly [3], programmed assembly[9], …

Geographic information system as a map and survey database for a selected area
… of the research was done on the distribution of digital data, and not much on traditional non-digital material. The establishment of national land information systems and data sharing via the networking of databases is receiving wide attention. An investigation was done to establish the spatial …

Electropermanent magnetic connectors and actuators : devices and their application in programmable matter
Programmable matter is a digital material having computation, sensing, and actuation capabilities as continuous properties active over its whole extent. To make programmable matter economical to fabricate, we want to use electromagnetic direct drive, rather than clockwork, to actuate the particles. …

Mixing the library: information interaction and the DJ
Digital collections have been amassed by institutions and individuals for over two decades. Large collections are becoming increasingly available as resources for research, learning, creativity, and pleasure. However, the value of these collections can remain elusive. Systems and methods are needed …

History as database: bioshock and the new design source
… when constructing in-game vistas and digital objects. Scholars have often labeled their creations as quasi-historical pastiche, mere explorations of fantasy, retrofuturism, and science fiction. While these terms are useful for describing genre and style, they fail to address the …

Digital cellular solids : reconfigurable composite materials
Digital materials are comprised of a small number of types of discrete physical building blocks, which assemble to form constructions that meet the versatility and scalability of digital computation and communication systems. This work seeks to demonstrate the applicability of a digital material …
