Interactive design of braced excavations
… last few decades. It is a major concern of the designer to limit ground movement around an excavation in order to prevent damage to adjacent structures, utilities and roads. Existing design methods can accurately predict ground and wall movement of a braced excavation, but the calculations …

Traces of digital trust : an interactive design perspective
This thesis explores ways that the complex concept of trust functions between users in digital environments who are strangers. Although it can and has been argued that ‘trust’ is central to the functioning of society (Watson 2009), it is difficult to apply a static and complete definition of the …

An interactive design rule checker for integrated circuit layout
An implementation of an interactive design rule checker is described in this thesis. Corner-based design rule checking algorithm is used for the implementation. Due to the locality of checking mechanism of the corner-based algorithm, it is suitable for hierarchical and interactive local design rule …

MOVEX: interactive design of braced excavations to limit ground movements
… computer program MOVEX, a program for the design of structurally supported excavations to limit X lateral ground movements in clay soils, was revised and updated. A key element in the program, the method of determining factor of safety against basal heave, was fully rewritten. Seven case …

Interactive design process based on augmented intelligence : a framework and toolkit for designers to interact and collaborate with AI algorithms
Designers can use artificial intelligence, such as Genetic Algorithms, to deal with the design problems which seem impossible to be quickly resolved by the human mind. However, none of the current Al algorithms interact with the designers while executing the assigned tasks. Therefore, when the …

Development of an Interactive Wave Drag Capability for the OpenVSP Parametric Geometry Tool
… geometry tool named OpenVSP to create an interactive design tool for approximating zero-lift wave drag. Here, the wave drag calculation methodology used in industry for decades is combined with the powerful geometry engine of OpenVSP, which was recently heavily upgraded at the start of …

IDEAL: a tool to enable usability specification and evaluation
While interactive design tools, rapid prototyping tools, and user interface management systems (UIMSs) are advancing as cost-effective ways of producing interfaces, attention to usability is rarely incorporated into such tools. The advancement of producing interfaces more rapidly without addressing …

Taking Turns: A Conversational Approach to Ecological Design
… implicated in environmental problems. Landscape designbuild is an opportunity to reconnect words, actions, and the land, to set convincing, practical examples for clients to follow, and to foster a mutually beneficial 'culture of habitat' (Nabhan).A collaborative home and landscape design project …

Form finding and analysis of tension space structures by dynamic relaxation
… the papers into an overall context of interactive design and analysis. For the sake of completeness as a thesis, main appendices A-D have been included at the end of the thesis to give comprehensive reviews of published work relating respectively to static analysis, form: -finding, …

Wave Mechanics in Constructed Oyster Reefs and the Design of Nature-Based Coastal Adaptation
… infrastructure, but most projects to-date are designed primarily for wave attenuation and fail to consider both the environmental conditions necessary for long-term oyster reef sustainability as well as the importance of education and outreach in fostering environmental stewardship. Realizing …

Projection, design, and representation of curves on B-spline surfaces
In an interactive design process, tools that provide visual feedback on the design model are highly valuable. This research explores a specific topic of graphical visualization and geometric modeling. An approach dealing with projecting and mapping plane curves onto a B-spline surface is presented. …

Skin Stories: Charting and Mapping the Skin. Research using analogies of human skin tissue in relation to my textile practice.
… SKIN deals with issues across the fields of art, design, technology, biology and material science. In an attempt to bridge the gap between aesthetics and technology by investigating the potential of new and industrial materials, the epidermis is used as a metaphor for creating innovative textile …

Computational Gestural Making: A framework for exploring the creative potential of gestures, materials, and computational tools
The emergence of digital computation in design reinforced the traditional view that ‘to design’ is ‘to think,’ ‘to represent’ is ‘to plan,’ and ‘to make’ is ‘to fabricate.’ Under this computational design trichotomy, the uniqueness of the gesturing hand to sense, communicate, grasp, shape, and …
