Designing virtual environments for usability
… to support that interaction. Studies of the design and use of virtual environments are used to demonstrate the need for interface design guidance. A theory of interaction for virtual environments is proposed, which includes predictive models of interactive behaviour and a set of generic …

Balancing Human Visual Comfort and Psychological Wellbeing in Private Offices
… (desired) depth of a given point in the space. A generic design scenario is used to illustrate the current method. The examined daylighting design criteria are of DGI values 16, 18, 20, and 22, and Ev levels 1000 lux and 2500 lux. In conclusion, the study proposes the glare criteria as additional …

The impact of introducing artificial intelligence technology to architecture and its leverage on the concept of design automation
… technologies into the domain of architectural design and building technology. This thesis, essentially, is an exploration of the ways that "Artificial Intelligence" techniques may support systematic and rational architectural design and, by extension, the "Building Systems" process. The …

Development of a design methodology for transport aircraft variable camber flaps suitable for cruise and low-speed operations
This thesis describes the development of a generic design methodology for variable camber flap systems for transport aircraft, intended to be used for cruise and low-speed operations. The methodology was structured after several revisions were performed on conventional high-lift device design …

Semantically-enriched and semi-Autonomous collaboration framework for the Web of Things. Design, implementation and evaluation of a multi-party collaboration framework with semantic annotation and representation of sensors in the Web of Things and a case study on disaster management
… disaster management and relief operations. The generic design of the framework enables future extensions, thus enabling its exploitation across many application domains. The performance of the framework is evaluated in two areas: the capability of the access control mechanism to scale with …

Punching shear in pad foundations on rock
… be found at shallow depths. However, the design codes in use locally suggest a generic design process for foundations which does not take into account the type of substrate. The focus is on critical failure modes affecting reinforced concrete pad foundations on soils. The controlling …

Computer control of machines utilising independent drive mechanisms
… into methods for the specification, design and implementation of computer control systems for flexible manufacturing machines comprising multiple, independent, electromechanically-driven mechanisms. An analysis is made of the elements of conventional mechanically-coupled machines in …

Arguement in the humanities: A knowledge based approach
… purpose. I will attempt: (a) to present a generic design for a tool - the Argument Support Program - which can be of use in supporting the reasoning of archaeologists (and others especially, but not exclusively, in the humanities); (b) I will present a model of argumentation and debate as …

Design function deployment: a concurrent engineering design system
The current state of activities in the design and manufacturing industry is marked by the various CAD/CAM/CAE systems which exist as islands of automation, and are used by engineers and designers in a non-integrated and ill-structured way. Thus the design problem is examined from separate and …

Understanding social value creation in public construction projects using systems thinking
… utilised Soft System Methodology (SSM) and the Generic Design and Construction Process Protocol (GDCPP) to understand how current processes in public construction projects are used to create social value. SSM was used because of its ability to investigate ill-defined issues and problem …

Prediction of instability and ground movements during tunnel construction in non-homogenous conditions
… are synthesized into a series of generalized design charts for immediate application. Numerical simulations using 3D finite element models are also used to investigate the factors influencing ground movements for closed-face tunneling operations using a relatively simple elastic-perfectly …

Analyses and interpretation of tapered piezoprobe and application to offshore pile design
… and experimental validation of a newly designed tapered piezoprobe penetrometer that is currently being used in offshore site investigation. The new device measures pore pressures at the tip of a 1/4" diameter extension piece that connects through a tapered section to conventional drill …
