Displacement-based analysis and design of rigid retaining walls during earthquakes
<p>"This research focused on the analysis and design of rigid retaining walls subjected to earthquakes and considered nonlinear foundation soil properties. The simultaneous sliding and rocking movements of retaining walls were considered. Seven field conditions, including moist, submerged, perched …

Knee design for a bipedal walking robot based on a passive-dynamic walker
Passive-dynamic walkers are a class of robots that can walk down a ramp stably without actuators or control due to the mechanical dynamics of the robot. Using a passive-dynamic design as the basis for a powered robot helps to simplify the control problem and maximize energy efficiency compared to …

An investigation into the design of surface piercing super cavitating hydrofoils
The fluid-dynamic design of hydrofoils to support marine crafts at high speeds has received growing interest in recent years. Physics involved in the design of high-speed surface-piercing hydrofoils is complex involving three different fluid phases (air, water and vapor) and complex fluid dynamic …

Integrated Electro-thermal Design Methodology in Distributed Power Systems (DPS)
… complex mechanisms. For a power supply system, a dynamic design process is necessary to address both electrical and thermal issues. It is because the steady state temperatures of the system are obtained from loss-and-temperature iteration. Once a system solid body model is built, iterations …

Re/framing design trends : a Burkean meta-rhetorical approach
… Kenneth Burke’s theory for interrogating visual design trend dynamics and rhetorics. The investigation originated in response to the perceived unsustainability of accelerated design trend dynamics, as amplified by rhetorically-driven aesthetic obsolescence. The hermeneutic framework developed in …

Open source hardware entrepreneurship
… properties of their products and licensed the design under open source licenses. As a consequence, public are allowed to participate to the product design processes from an early phase and interact with firms in an open, transparent way. It is reasonable to consider this extreme openness as a …

Investigation of a Design Performance Measurement Tool for improving collaborative design during a design process
With rapid growth of global competition, the design process is becoming more and more complex due largely to cross-functional team collaboration, dynamic design processes, and unpredictable design outcomes. Thus, it is becoming progressively more difficult to support and improve design activities …

Experimental investigation of energy dissipation behavior of the modified friction device
As building materials become stronger, dynamic design and structural control are effective means of improving serviceability in the future's ever lighter structures. The recently proposed modified friction device (MFD) addresses many of the concerns that have prevented the building industry from …

Seismic Response of Structures with Added Viscoelastic Dampers
… effect from VE dampers in the structural dynamic design, it is important to use a proper force-deformation model to correctly describe the frequency dependence of the damper. The fractional derivative model and the general linear model are capable of capturing the frequency dependence of …

Inverse-Problem Inspired Approaches in the Design of Solids for Frequency-Domain Dynamics
<p>Dynamic conditions and harmful vibration are prevalent in many engineered systems. Computational optimization methods can usefully guide the design of structures and solid systems to obtain layouts with desired dynamic behaviors, such as minimized or tailored vibration response, while accounting …
