A methodology for the design of cellular manufacturing systems
… that provides a systematic approach to the design of Cellular Manufacturing Systems (CMS) is developed. The states in the system design process are established, methods and tools to be used for each stage are identified, and transition criteria for progressing from one state to the next are …

Design reuse in a CAD environment
For many companies, design related information mainly exists as rooms of paper-based archives, typically in the form of manufacturing drawings and technical specifications. This 'static' information cannot be easily reused. The work presented in this thesis proposes a methodology to ease this …

Combined Mechanical and Command Design for Micro-Milling Machines
… their accuracy because of the mechanical design of the machines themselves. If the mechanical design of micro-mills and other machines consider flexible and lightweight design alternatives that utilize input shaping for vibration suppression instead of stiff and heavy designs, then faster …

Mechanical design of an automated vehicle driving system for drive cycle testing
This thesis describe the mechanical design process for an automated drive cycle testing system. Drive cycle is a graph containing series of vehicle speed data versus time. The main reason for drive cycle existence is to analyse the air pollution that is emitted by vehicle engines through combustion …

A graphical framework for component selection in mechatronic design of robotic systems
… that system. Whilst material selection and part design for housings, etc. are critical tasks, in any system required to provide some physical capability (displacement, pressure, measurement capability, etc.) it is entirely likely that components selected to achieve this - such as motors, …

The nature of evolutionary artefact and design process knowledge coupling
Artefact and design process knowledge continually evolve during design development and are closely coupled. Considerable research has been conducted on the artefact, design process knowledge, and their inter-relationships. However, they have only focused on general or specific aspects of their …

Optimization Constrained CAD Framework with ISO-Performing Design Generator
<p>Design decisions have a large impact early in the design process. Optimization methods can help engineers improve their early decision making, however, design problems are often ill-posed for optimization at this early stage. This thesis develops engineering methods to use optimization during …

A Multiscale Interaction Technique for Large, High-Resolution Displays
… users' physical navigation into account and designing more mobile interactions. Currently, when users move, they change the scale at which they are viewing information without changing the interaction scale. This is a problem because tasks change at different levels of visual scale. …

Ageing Futures: Towards Cognitively Inclusive Digital Media Products
… moment when the theory and practice of inclusive design appears to be significantly implicated in the social and economic response to demographic changes in Western Europe by addressing the need to reconnect older people with technology. In light of claims that cognitive ageing results in an …

Embodied Virtual Reality: The Impacts of Human-Nature Connection During Engineering Design
The engineering design process can underutilize nature-based solutions during infrastructure development. Instances of nature within the built environment are reflections of the human-nature connection, which may alter how designers ideate solutions to a given design task, especially through …
