11. A first sketch of Computer Aided Ideation : Exploring CAD tools as externalization media in design ideation
Sammanfattning : Even though Computer Aided Design (CAD) tools have changed the way designers work in most parts of the design process, designers still mostly use pen-and-paper sketching when generating design ideas. Previous studies exploring the use of CAD tools for design ideation have concluded that the tools available at the time did not support reflective conversation, serendipitous interpretation and creativity, making them unsuited for design ideation.

12. Service concept design
Sammanfattning : Manufacturing companies are continuously experiencing tougher competition; to meet this challenge a trend is to offer functional products. A functional product is a total care offer consisting of capital intensive hardware integrated with its accompanying services needed to keep it operational. LÄS MER
13. Interactive computer-aided expressive music performance : Analysis, control, modification and synthesis
Sammanfattning : This thesis describes the design and implementation process of two applications (PerMORFer and MoodifierLive) for the interactive manipulation of music performance. Such applications aim at closing the gap between the musicians, who play the music, and the listeners, who passively listen to it. LÄS MER
14. Hardware design as a basis for functional product development
Sammanfattning : The business environment in manufacturing industry is changing from a hardware based product focus to a process and function focus. A current industrial interest is the development and sale of functions. This function could be realised as a product based on hardware, software and services and may be sold as a function rather than as hardware. LÄS MER
15. Quasi-analytical Modelling and Optimisation Techniques for Transport Aircraft Design
Sammanfattning : The research work presented here focuses on the subject oftransport aircraft design at the pre-design or conceptuallevel. The primary topics addressed are: (1) generation of avast array of new quasi-analytical expressions to permit aconceptual treatment of commercial and business transportaircraft with adequate sensitivity for more advanced tradestudies; (2) review and adoption of a method to predictstability and control characteristics (using the Mitchellmethod); (3) a study of the relative merits between variousmethods in facilitating an expedient and robust constrainedmulti-objective optimisation result within the context oftraditional conceptual design problems (Genetic Algorithms andNelder-Mead Simplex search); (4) creation of a software packageas a new and unique conceptual tool that permits the generationof design proposals in an accurate yet expeditious manner; and,(5) practical demonstration of the new conceptual designsoftware package by undertaking some actual aircraft designproposals.
