1. Sustainable Design and Control of Automated Material Handling Systems
Sammanfattning : An automated material handling system is a collection of electro mechanical components, electronics, and computer-based devices that act together to maintain flow of parts and materials in a modern production environment. Material flow is a significant factor in the design of manufacturing plants. LÄS MER
2. A Methodology for Efficient Conceptual Design Analysis of Nonlinear Dynamic Structural Systems
Sammanfattning : There is a typical requirement conflict between fuel consumption and noise and vibrations in passenger cars. Obviously the combustion engine is a major source of vibration and has an influence on vehicle emissions. Similar properties apply to the power transferring mechanical driveline system. LÄS MER
3. High-Performance Building Design and Decision-Making Support for Architects in the Early Design Phases
Sammanfattning : Based on the design decision making process from an architect’s point of view, a related literature review, theoretical analyses, and inductive inferences, this thesis proposes a new interpretation of high-performance building (HPB), translates/maps criteria issues related to building environmental assessment (BEA) tools for key design decision making elements, and identifies sources of inspiration for HPB designs. This thesis intends to propose an integrated conceptual model for the design of HPBs to provide direct knowledge-based decision making support to architects in the early design phase. LÄS MER
4. On Configuration Systems in Product Development for Mass Customisation
Sammanfattning : Increased industrial interest in mass customisation causes designers and manufacturers to seek cost-effective methods to continuously rationalise product development and production processes in order to accommodate for customisation on a large scale. Particularly in the case of complex products this requires significant engineering efforts. LÄS MER
5. Design support system for multi-storey timber structures
Sammanfattning : The research presented in this thesis is intended to improve the building process for multi-storey timber houses by reducing the risk of information loss between architects and structural engineers and by improving the possibilities for the structural engineers to optimise the structure with respect to production cost. This is reached by developing and implementing a conceptual model for a design support system for multi-storey timber structures that is capable of handling the information transfer between the architects and the structural engineers in a standardized manner and by providing a method that is capable of finding optimally directed solutions for the structure with respect to production cost.
