Material Point Methods For Simulating Material Fracture
Material fracture surrounds us every day from tearing off a piece of fresh bread to dropping a glass on the floor. Modeling this complex physical process has a near limitless breadth of applications in everything from computer graphics and VFX to virtual surgery and geomechanical modeling. Despite …

Process and Material Modifications to Enable New Material for Material Extrusion Additive Manufacturing
The overall goal of this work is to expand the materials library for the fused filament fabrication (FFF) material extrusion additive manufacturing (AM) process through innovations in the FFF process, post-process, and polymer composition. This research was conducted at two opposing ends of the …

Material murmurings
This thesis, Material Murmurings, comprising of exegesis and creative practice, focuses on the central research question: “How do we understand the materiality of glass and what happens when said materiality is approached through feminist scholarship?” This question forms the basis for an …

Material Evidence
Material evidence is a twelve-and-a-half minute long work for twenty-two musicians and electronics. The main inspiration for the work came as a combination of scientific research in the field of music cognition and Iannis Xenakis’s ideas on stochastic music. I believe that it is a challenge to …

Material Memory
<p>Material Memory is an exhibition showcasing a curated collection of ceramic and quilted sculptures and prints. With works on pedestals, suspended quilts, and framed prints, this exhibit embodies the physical and emotional landscapes of home. The use of household objects to construct the artworks …

Material Distinctions
… of this thesis is to please the senses through material composition. We gain knowledge and sensible understanding of our world through physical interaction and direct sensory experience. Through touching, smelling, listening, and observing we form and guide our choices. These experiences enrich …

Material accomodation
… sympathetic employment of architectural building materials. These materials, each with their own inherent tectonics, come together to formulate a network of inter-dependent relationships categorized as material accommodation. Material accommodation consists of three specific areas. First, as …

Expand material presence to material experience with volumetric thinking : voxel based multi-material printing in designing objects
Material serves as the first touchpoint between an object and a person. In current product development, material together with color and finishing is regarded as a separate entity from the form and function design. Every material needs to be paired with a series of optimal manufacturing processes …

Exploring Immersed FEM, Material Design, and Biological Tissue Material Modeling
… Method (IIFEM) for shape optimization and material design, while also investigating the modeling and parameterization of lung tissue for Diver Underwater Explosion (UNDEX) simulations. In the first part, a shape optimization scheme utilizing a four-noded rectangular immersed-interface …

Material Requirements Planning
… question. These techniques are order point and material requirements planning. The latter technique, MRP, is the topic of this paper.

Spatial material interfaces
… interfaces are re-envisioned as programmable materials, able to emulate dynamic physical properties to provide material-based affordances. In this work, I review the motivation and a brief history of Tangible User Interfaces (TUIs) and examine the implications of the Radical Atoms vision for …

Material and Form
This thesis is the search for clarity in the relationship between essence and appearance, construction and form, necessity and possibility, object and subject. It is a reflection on the question of the nature of building. I cannot tell you that something is beautiful. I can only explain why I do …

Material dialogues : exploring design methodologies in material tectonics through stone morphologies
… of this change lies a rekindled interest in materiality and craft-based experimentation as drivers for teasing out tectonic form. This is by no means a new endeavour for designers, particularly since the digital era is preceded by a long history of interaction with the realm of matter. A …

Material transformation designing shape changing interfaces enabled by programmable material anisotropy
This thesis takes a material perspective on designing transformable interfaces. The structure of material and mechanical properties such as stiffness, can determine not only its static performances, but also, with the help of external forces, support dynamic shape change. By encoding structural or …

Advancements in concrete material sustainability : supplementary cementitious material development and pollutant interaction
… clay and fly ash supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) used in cement based materials were examined for their chemical and mechanical performance, as well as their pollutant interaction. This dissertation addresses three primary research questions, namely: (i) can zincite additions …

Movement, material and order
l seek to investigate space, material and harmonious order. A building should celebrate the continuity of space in three dimensions. Walls should not confine space, but expand perceptible limits. Architectural space should be active. A building should be an integration of material and order. …

Image-based Material Editing
… it is not currently possible to change the material appearance of an object except by painstakingly painting over the appropriate pixels. Here we present a set of methods for automatically replacing one material with another, completely different material, starting with only a single high …

Material efficiency in construction
… steel is used more efficiently so that less new material is required to deliver the same service - a concept termed 'material efficiency' - then this could allow demand to be satisfied whilst emissions targets are achieved. Construction is the single largest use of steel globally, therefore using …
