▼ Our relationship with the digital has fundamentally changed within the past decade. A mesh of outside interests have been efficiently folding themselves into our lives. These exist as either a legion of hosted “free” web services touting the promise of a new-found collective intimacy, or a set of tightly coupled IOT(Internet of Things) applications that are slowly being pulled away from our fully capable hardware—all causing us to rely heavily on a virtual infrastructure that demands to host our work and place us at arm’s length of tools that we no longer own or control. This new bargain includes a view into our work and habits so that we can be better understood, tokenized, categorized, mapped, and finally monetized. While many today may be OK with this relationship, I’ll be frank, it unsettles me. I believe something fundamental is lost in this unravelling long-distance relationship. This thesis is a response. It pushes for a more intimate connection with technology within the backdrop of digital design and its many processes. In The Craftsman, Richard Sennett writes: “Making is Thinking,” and in his text he explores the close relationship between head and hand for a small set of traditional craftsmen: a cook, a musician and a glass blower. To elevate the digital within today’s architectural practice, I feel its use must also be seen as craft. But how might a relationship between head and hand manifest itself? Is there some similarity in thinking between Sennett’s craftsmen and the processes of successful digital design? I propose to investigate the mechanisms of digital Making, and hence digital Thinking through three design problems, inspired by the works of Neri Oxman, deskriptiv, Michael Hansmeyer, as well as the methods of D’Arcy Thompson, Shinichi Maruyama, Pina Bausch, and Frei Otto. By mindfully observing my exploration of these from a digital perspective, I believe it will be possible to get a sense of what makes craft possible within this realm.

▼ Micro-milling represents a versatile and fast manufacturing process suitable for production of fully 3D micro-components. Such components are demanded for a vast number of industrial applications including safety systems, environmental sensors, personalized medical devices or micro-lenses and mirrors. The ability of micro-milling to process a wide range of materials makes it one of the best candidates to take a leading position in micromanufacturing. However, so far it does not seem to happen. By discussion with various industrialists, low predictability of micro-milling process was identified as the major limiting factor. This is mainly because of strong effects of the tool tolerances and process uncertainties on machining performance. Although, these issues are well known, they are not reflected by the current modelling methods used in micro-milling. Therefore, the research presented in this thesis mainly concentrates on development of a method allowing a prediction of the tool life in manner of tool breakage probability. Another important criterion which must be fulfilled is the method applicability to industrial applications. This means that the method must give sufficiently accurate prediction in reasonable time with minimum effort and interactions with day-to-day manufacturing process. The criteria listed above led to development of a new method based on analytically/numerical modelling techniques combined with an analysis of real tool variations and process uncertainty. Although, the method is presented in a relatively basic form, without considering some of the important factors, it shows high potential for industrial applications. Possibility of further implementation of additional factors is also discussed in this thesis. Additionally, some of the modelling techniques presented in this thesis are assumed to be suitable for application during designing of micro end-mills. Therefore, in the last part of this thesis is presented a systematic methodology for designing of micro end-mills. This method is based on knowledge and experience gained during this research.

▼ Initially, computer aids simply automated the processes that humans had developed to complete various tasks. Their primary contribution was to increase efficiency by automating repetitive, tedious tasks, both physical and cognitive. Many years later, sophisticated computer aids employ a broad-scale availability of large amounts of information, coupled with the ability to analyze that information using statistical methods. Data analytics can provide more information than ever before to those using computer based systems. Computer aids for engineering design are typically used by engineers, who are data-savvy, and are generally capable of using the results of data analytics directly incorporated into engineering design tools in an efficient manner. However, data analytics results are becoming more widespread and available for users who are not data-savvy. These systems must be designed with this in mind. This paper presents an example of a computer aid for healthcare, a tool to aid in the patient discharge decision. The motivating problem is the large number of patients who are readmitted to hospitals within 30 days of discharge. The design problem addressed here includes identifying the decision process the users should employ, as well as the computer/user interface that best uses the data analytics results. This work was carried out through collaboration with a healthcare provider. A readmission risk tool was developed using data analytics to estimate the probability of readmission based on a historical data set of 50 patient-specific factors. Preliminary work indicated that the users did not fully accept or utilize the data analytics results, and also demonstrated their need to continue to rely in part on their own expert heuristic decision processes. This study presents a method for dealing with these issues. First, a normative decision based approach to determining a multiattribute utility function is formulated and assessed to compare alternative computer/user interface designs. Then, the same approach is taken to assess the healthcare worker’s willingness to make tradeoffs under uncertainty when making the patient discharge decision. The resulting interactive computer interface design coupled with the normative healthcare decision process helps the user best exploit data analytics results while simultaneously facilitating the user’s continued deployment of their own expertise. Currently, the RRT is being utilized for flagging the readmission risk prone patients and not for making the main discharge decision regarding the patient. Its main use is to help the healthcare workers focus their attention on these medium-high risk patient profiles. Furthermore, the RRT result display needs to be made more actionable and relevant to the healthcare workers for the efficient use of the RRT model. We will discuss this in detail in our study.

▼ Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) cost industry billions of dollars in workers' compensation costs each year. Ergonomics is concerned with understanding the causes of MSDs and developing solutions to reduce these costs. Awkward postures have been implicated as a risk factor for the development of some MSDs, and a design principle to "bend the tool, not the wrist" has been advocated in many ergonomic textbooks. However, despite numerous laboratory investigations showing positive outcomes of application of this design principle to various hand tools, there is indication of lack of acceptance in industry for these bent-handle tools. In an attempt to understand the lack of industry acceptance, this investigation sought to determine if this design principle imposed constraints on users and/or negatively affected productivity, which may explain why they are not being widely used in industry. The experiment used two different tasks (a computer-jumper installation task, and a spring assembly task) to compare the use of bent-handle pliers versus straight-handle pliers. Additionally, the effects of work surface orientation (vertical versus slanted at 45°) was evaluated, as was the effect of constraining the user's coupling of the tool. The dependent variables in the experiment were productivity and postural outcomes (arm elevation, wrist deviation in the radial/ulnar plane, and wrist deviation in flexion/extension). An important point that must be made is that overall the results clearly suggested that the expected outcomes (both productivity and postural) are very task specific. This in itself says a lot about the general recommendation to "bend the tool", that being that the recommendation cannot be made without clearly understanding the other task characteristics involved, and that it should therefore not be proposed as a general design recommendation. For the computer-jumper task the bent-handle pliers resulted in 5.3% faster task performance compared to the straight-handle pliers, while for the spring assembly task the performance was 4.9% faster with the straight-handle pliers. The explanation provided is that the bent-handle pliers seem to be preferable for tasks that require minimal or no tool rotation out of the sagittal plane, losing their advantage when multi-plane rotation is required. When subjects were constrained to holding the pliers with a power grip or oblique grip (modified power grip) arm elevation was reduced 50% and ulnar deviation was reduced by 12% when using the bent-handle pliers on the computer-jumper task, while on the spring assembly task ulnar deviation was reduced 22%. These results suggest that there are postural advantages to the bent-handle pliers (for the tasks used in this experiment) when the pliers-coupling is restricted to these grips. In the test of constrained versus unconstrained the results showed that for the computer-jumper task the postural benefits of the bent-handle pliers were lost when the subject could hold the straight-handle pliers any way desired, while for the… Advisors/Committee Members: Dr. Michael S.

▼ The world of telecom is changing rapidly. Access to internet has changed the way customers use their phone. To differentiate itself from competitors, increase customer satisfaction and willingness to stay, Vodafone introduced Smart Life products. These products add value to the standard contract of the customer. The Consumer Services (CS) department is responsible for the Smart Life products. Within the department CS marketers are responsible for the communication about the Smart Life products to the customers. But the communication does not seem to meet the value and benefits for the customer and therefore the customer does not activate the products. The problem found in the CS department was that the current communication strategy was product focussed and did not stimulate the customer to activate and use the Smart Life products. The CS marketers said that they lacked insight in customer values, did not knew who their customer was and that the communication strategy was not designed from a customer perspective. This resulted in the aim of the thesis: Make the CS marketers aware of a customer centric way of communicating towards a customer and support the CS marketer to design a customer centric communication strategy. To solve the problem two research questions were developed: 1, how to develop a more customer centric communication strategy. And 2, who is the Smart Life user? The research questions are answered by two qualitative researches: an internal research and an user research. The internal research investigated what factors influenced the current development process and what holds the CS marketer back from developing a customer centric communication strategy. The user research provided deep information about who the Smart Life user is and why the user uses a product. These insights of the researches are used to solve the problem in practice. The internal research obtained two focus areas where the communication strategy could be improved to be more customer centric: Understanding the customer Redesign of the development process of the communication strategy The user research led to three characteristics based on customer behaviour: • Willingness to pay (extra), • Level of consciousness on data spending • The attitude toward adopting a Smart Life product. To make use of a Smart Life product data is needed and a subscription need to be bought. To do so a customer needs a high or medium willingness to pay for data usage or a subscription. Moreover, the research showed that users who used the Smart Life products were less conscious on data spending and had a positive attitude toward adopting Smart life products. This is affected by knowledge based trust in the product and perception on what the attribute of the product can deliver to the customer. With this insights three customer profiles are found; • Enjoyer • Conscious enjoyer • Saver A saver has high level of consciousness on data spending, a low willingness to pay for a subscription or his data usage and a negative attitude toward new products.

▼ The focus of this research is the concept of the 'Performance Sketch' tool. This is to use detailed simulation software to calculate (plausible) energy performance of designs quickly. Analogous to the Architectural Sketch the Performance Sketch uses high quality tools (detailed simulation) to create an accurate, but simple representation of the essential properties of a building, as opposed to a detailed representation. The aim of this research is to assess the consistency between the predictions produced by performance sketch design tools and the calculations produced by detailed design tools. The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s (LBNL) computer software COMFEN (COMmercial FENestration) is a performance sketch tool. It makes the power of the complex detailed design simulation package EnergyPlus available in the very early stages of the design process. It uses a single zone, single external façade EnergyPlus model to explore the costs and benefits of alternate façade designs. The hypothesis tested is that the COMFEN (single-zone) energy performance calculation method is plausible for early design analyses. It evaluates the performance sketch approach from three different points of view: first, COMFEN was introduced to various practitioners in the building industry to gather use-case feedback on the performance sketch approach. A list of specifications for performance sketch design tools was developed based on these use-cases. Second, it examines whether the optimum façade identified by COMFEN creates the optimum performance complex building when this optimum façade is incorporated into detailed building models. Finally, refinements of the nature of the performance sketch based on this use-case feedback were tested in EnergyPlus. The thesis concludes by drawing together these three threads into an outline of a practitioner-based definition of an ideal performance sketch which has been tested in practical application.

▼ Advances in nanotechnology, microfabrication and new manufacturing processes, the revolution of open electronics, and the emerging internet of things will influence the design, manufacture, and control of manufacturing machines in the future. For instance, miniaturization will change manufacturing processes; additive and rapid prototyping will change the production of machine components; and open electronics offer a platform for new control architectures for manufacturing systems that are open, modular, and easy to reconfigure. Combined with the latest trends in cyber-physical systems and the internet of things, open architecture controllers for CNC systems can become platforms, oriented for numerical control as a service (NCaaS) and manufacturing as a service, tailored to the creation of cyber-manufacturing networks of shared resources and web applications. With this potential in mind, this research presents new design-for-fabrication methodologies and control strategies to facilitate the creation of next generation machine tools. It provides a discussion and examples of the opportunities that the present moment offers. The first portion of this dissertation focuses on the design of complex 3D MEMS machines realized from conventional 2.5D microfabrication processes. It presents an analysis of an example XYZ-MEMS parallel kinematics stage as well as of designs of the individual components of the manipulator, integrated into a design approach for PK-XYZ-MEMS stages. It seems likely that this design-for-fabrication methodology will enable higher functionality in MEMS micromachines and result in new devices that interact, in three full dimensions, with their surroundings. Novel and innovative research exemplifies the opportunities new and economical manufacturing technologies offer for the design and fabrication of modern machine tools. The second portion of this dissertation describes the demonstration of a new flexural joint designed with both traditional and additive manufacturing processes. It extrapolates principles based on the design of this joint that alleviate the effects of low accuracy and poor surface finishing, anisotropy, reductions in material properties of components, and small holding forces. Based on these results, the next section presents case examples of the construction of mesoscale devices and machine components using multilayered composites and hybrid flexures for precision engineering, medical training, and machine tools for reduced life applications and tests design-for-fabrication strategies. The results suggest the strategies effectively address existing problems, providing a repertory of creative solutions applicable to the design of devices with hybrid flexures. The implications for medical industry, micro robotics, soft robotics, flexible electronics, and metrology systems are positive. Chapter number five examines to positive impact of open architectures of control for CNC systems, given the current availability of micro-processing power and open-source electronics.

▼ From the internet to the sensors in wearable devices, people leave their digital traces behind both online and offline. Data is getting ubiquitous and cheap. Some new fields, like business intelligence, are recognized and emerging. As a trustworthy and precise material, data is also a valuable source for designers. It provides accurate and detailed data on users’ behaviors and brings some new perspectives on users’ needs in the design process. Meanwhile, big data is a new field for most designers. Most designers, especially novice designers, often lack big data related knowledge and skills. When they face big data, they usually feel clueless and anxious. It is difficult for them to deal with big data well. This thesis's foundational objective is to support designers in applying big data in the design process effectively and confidently. It is about keeping exploring the possibilities of design and making sure that design stays at the cutting edge of the big data era. This project focused explicitly on novice designers who are inexperienced with projects involving big data. To provide this appropriate support, the key pain point was targeted from designers’ big data related project experiences, which is the feeling of being overwhelmed by big data when designers face it. In the end, I designed the data management platform to help designers relieve this feeling and have a better performance at big data involved projects. This thesis will introduce the project process. First, I did the literature review to learn about big data, how the relationship between big data and design is, and how the relationship between big data and design process is. Afterward, Context Mapping was conducted to learn about the designers’ experiences in applying big data in the design process. With the literature review and Context Mapping, I understood the project from both a theoretical and design practice perspectives. Then, I held a session to explore the problem space. The session was organized with designers to learn about their difficulties when dealing with big data. After the session, I realized that the biggest challenge for designers is being overwhelmed by data when translating big data into insights. It results from the massive big data content and cluelessness when designers face big data. It affects designers’ efficiency and confidence in the design process. To explore the solution space of the challenge, I held a co-creation session with novice designers. In the end, Data Management Platform was proposed. The concept's goals are to relieve designers from data overwhelmingness and assist designers in dealing with big data. The Data Management Platform can provide designers an overview of the project and prevent designers from feeling lost in the big data content. By guiding designers to apply big data in an appropriate process and assisting designers with some tools to collaborate with different people, designers can confidently and effectively make full use of big data. In the end, the concept… Advisors/Committee Members: Bourgeois, J. (mentor), Guerreiro Goncalves, M. (graduation committee), Delft University of Technology (degree granting institution).

▼ Building Information Modelling (BIM) technologies are changing the conventional structural design process. BIM level-1 and level-2 are providing guidelines and frameworks for standardization with the standard Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) and collaborative design respectively. However, the predicted full potential of BIM, BIM level-3, which is a smart design system, is still in its infancy stage. Many studies focus on single technologies that BIM envelopes and do not grasp the benefit of incorporating all technologies into one model. Additionally, the industry is lagging in the adaptation of BIM technologies, since, as of today, only one company in the world is BIM level-2 certified. Witteveen+Bos recognises the potential of smart systems and is developing many innovative software solutions. In this thesis, as the objective stated, a conceptual partly BIM level-3 excavation site design tool has been developed. The developed tool, integrates parametric design with Plaxis, GIS and RockWorks. The developed tool helps stakeholders to visually explore many design solutions in a short amount of time, based on the costs, MKI, structural- and environmental requirements and the characteristics of the surroundings. The name SET (Smart Engineering Tool) was given to this tool. Three essential boundary conditions are distinguished for the design of an excavation pit. Soil Layers, groundwater levels and the surrounding buildings. These boundary conditions impose loads and requirements on the excavation pit. The way the groundwater can be kept out determines mostly the costs. For this reason, SET works-out designs with a natural impermeable clay layer, an artificial underwater concrete floor or an artificial impermeable gel layer. Additionally, designs with different retaining walls and grout anchors or struts are worked-out. The design of an excavation pit must meet structural and environmental requirements. A vertical, horizontal and moment equilibrium must hold in the excavation pit. In urban areas, the most important concern is avoiding inadmissible damage or hindrance to adjacent structures, because the surrounding buildings are owned by third parties and deformations, causing damage to these buildings, happen quick. For this reason, the design of the excavation pit must meet the settlement requirements of the surrounding buildings. For each design, “Economisch Meest Voordelige Inschrijving” (EMVI) (Economically Most Attractive Tender) scores are used to quantify each design on durability, the impact on the surroundings, hindrance and risk. EMVI in combination with the cost estimates is used to find the design with the best cost to quality ratio. Rijkswaterstaat has determined a “Milieu Kosten Indicator” (MKI) (Environmental Cost Indicator) value for each building material. In this thesis, this value is used to quantify the environmental impact of a design An analysis was made on the capabilities that a design tool should have. A literature study was performed on the BIM technologies. From this analysis… Advisors/Committee Members: Rots, Jan (graduation committee), Hendriks, J.W.C.

▼ Tooling design is crucial for the production of cost-effective and durable composite products. As part of the current search for cost reduction (by reducing capital investment, energy use and cycle time), integrally-heated tooling is one of the technologies available for ‘out-of-autoclave’ processing of advanced thermoset polymer composites. Despite their advantages, integrally-heated tools can suffer from uneven distribution of temperature, variability in heat flow rate and inconsistency in heating/cooling time. This research, therefore, investigates a number of design variables such as shape and layout of heating channels in order to improve the heating performance of an integrally-heated tool. Design of Experiments (DoE) has been carried out using Taguchi’s Orthogonal Array (OA) method to set several combinations of design parameters. Each of these design combinations has been evaluated through numerical simulation to investigate heating time and mould surface temperature variation. The simulation results suggest that the layout of the channels and their separation play a vital role in the heating performance. Signal-to-Noise (S/N) ratio and analysis of variance (ANOVA) have been applied to the results obtained to identify the optimal design combination of the integrally-heated tool. Statistical analysis reveals that the heating performance of an integrally-heated tool can be significantly improved when the channels’ layout is parallel. The shape of the channels has negligible effect and the distance between the channels should be determined based on the production requirement. According to the predicted optimal design, a developed integrally water-heated tool is manufactured. The actual thermal properties of the constituent materials of the produced tool are also measured. Then a numerical model of the experimental tool model is simulated in ANSYS software, with setting the actual material properties and boundary condition to define the temperature uniformity and heating rate of the experimental tool. Comparison of the experimental and numerical results of the experimental tool confirmed the well assigning of the boundary conditions and material properties during simulation the heated tool. The experimental results also confirmed the predicted optimal design of the integrally heated tool. Finally, in order to define its thermomechanical behaviour under the effective (in service) thermal loads, a tool model is simulated. Numerical results presented that the produced extremes of thermal deformation, elastic strain, normal and plane shear stresses, under the effective thermal loading, are within the allowable elastic limits of the participated materials.

▼ Hard turning of difficult-to-cut materials is an economical method of machining components with high surface quality and mechanical performance. Conventionally in the machining industry, generating a component from raw goods includes a casting or forging process, rough machining, heat treatment to a desired hardness, and then finished-machining through a grinding process. Given the relative disadvantages of grinding, which include high specific energy consumption and low material removal rates, a newer technology has been introduced; hard turning. After the heat treatment of a cast part (generally in a range of 50-65 HRC), hard turning allows for immediate finished-machining. Hard turning reduces the production time, sequence, cost, and energy consumed. In addition, dry machining offsets environmental concerns associated with the use of coolant in grinding operations as well as other common turning operations. Higher specific forces and temperatures in the contact area between the tool and workpiece lead to excessive tool wear. Generated tool wear affects the quality of the machined surface. Therefore, minimizing tool wear and consequently the generated surface quality become the status quo. Adverse effects associated with generated heat at the tool tip can be reduced by using cutting fluid or by continuously providing a fresh cutting edge. The latter method will be applied in this thesis. Rotary tool cutting involves a tool in the form of a disk that rotates about its axis. Different types of rotary tools have been developed, all with similar functional characteristics, however few are commercially available. Rotary tools can be classified as either driven or self-propelled. The former is provided rotational motion by an external source while the latter is rotated by the chip flow over the rake face of the tool. A prototype self-propelled rotary tool (SPRT) for hard turning was developed which provides economical benefits and affordability for the user. It was tested on a turret-type CNC lathe by machining AISI 4140 Steel that was heat treated to 54-56HRC and Grade 5 Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V). Carbide inserts with ISO designation RCMT 09 T3 00 (9.5mm diameter) were used during machining. Both the SPRT rotational speed and the workpiece surface roughness were measured. Also, chips were collected and analyzed for each of the cutting conditions. The same procedure was followed during machining with the same tool which was denied the ability to rotate, therefore simulating a fixed tool with identical cutting conditions. Comparisons were made between tool life, surface roughness, and chip formation for the fixed tool and SPRT. Tool rotational speed was also analyzed for the SPRT. In general, the designed and prototyped SPRT showed very good performance and validated the advantages of self-propelled rotary tools. A typical automotive component that is hard turned from difficult-to-cut materials is a transmission input shaft. These components demand high strength and wear resistance as they couple the vehicle???s engine… Advisors/Committee Members: Kishawy, Hossam.

▼ This dissertation focuses on the challenges of design and additive manufacturing (AM). It considers the challenges that such a freeform manufacturing process can have on design freedom. Much of the current literature is focused on this design freedom only as a positive, and work to improve design-for-AM, and how to better exploit the technology. On the contrary, this work looks at how that design freedom can be a challenge if and when a move from AM to a more conventional process is needed. The work is broken into three studies related to the implication of rapid technologies on the design process. Firstly, a user study to examine the effect of AM on design fixation was implemented using two groups, a Design for Conventional Manufacturing (DFCM) group and a Design for Additive Manufacturing group (DFAM). It was found that designers who trained on AM knowledge (DFAM group) experienced a design fixation on non-producible features and produced harder to conventionally manufacture designs, even when asked to modify designs for conventional manufacturing. This brings to light the negative effect of AM knowledge on designers and necessitates treatment methods. Therefore, the second part of this work focused on treating the negative effects of AM knowledge on designer skills. Mainly, a user study investigated the use of Design for Manufacturing (DFM)-based software in mitigating design fixation on non-producible features. The 3D feedback of the DFM software helped to reduce design fixation on non-producible features and improved the machinability of modified designs. The DFM feedback helped designers by highlighting areas in the design that could have machinability problems, however, it did not provide designers with a suggestion on how to modify and migrate their designs from AM to Conventional processes. Thus, the third part of this dissertation proposed a method that can provide a designer with suggestions to modify a design and allow its migration from AM to conventional processes. The method determines best cut lines for dissecting a design into pieces such that the surfaces of problematic features become more machinable. The method was tested, and results showed that the method can dissect a design into components that have better machinability on average than the original design. Overall, this work suggests the use DFM software and a dissection method for treating the design fixation related to AM and for facilitating the migration of designs from additive to conventional manufacturing. This work could be applied to manufacturing industries, particularly for AM parts that are slated for mass production which will require migration to conventional methods.

The aim of this thesis is to explore how designers can create well-being for all through product or service design. Well-being for all can be achieved through designing with the focus on Consumer Wisdom. Consumer Wisdom is defined as the pursuit of well-being for oneself and for others through mindful management of consumption-related choices and behaviours. The theory gives insights on providing consumers with products or services that enrich life with well-being for all (Luchs & Mick, 2018). The Consumer Wisdom theory was researched from a consumer perspective by Luchs and Mick (2018) and through a literature study the theory was transformed into a design strategy. Various design theories relate to wisdom, although they do not call it wisdom nor mention it. From these theories existing design directions were added to the 6 dimensions of the Consumer Wisdom theory to provide designers with the information to use the theory into practice. To cluster all the theories addressing wisdom into one tool is unique. Study 2 generated proposed design categories for the established design direction to gain insights on how to design for Consumer Wisdom. These 48 design categories were found through a categorisation task done by my supervision team and me with the use of 135 product and service examples. Merging all the information of study 1, 2 and research on existing design tools, developed three design tool concepts. The ideation was done through the use of a brainstorm session on the format of the tool and by using the ‘HOW-TO’ method. The best concept was chosen with the use of the Plus-Minus-Interesting matrix and the C-Box methods.Before evaluating the tool an iterated on the concept was done. A brainstorm session helped to evaluate the design tools visibility and feasibility. The evaluation showed that the provided examples were necessary to understand the theory. The design categories directed the focus on and helped to design easier for a certain design direction. The final tool is the Consumer Wisdom design tool consisting of a card set to design with. The set consists of: an informative card, dimensions cards, design category cards, design purpose cards and an instruction manual. The tool helps designers use and understand Consumer Wisdom in their design process. In the future the final tool should be tested with design students and design professional to validate its usability, feasibility and visibility.

▼ When it comes to the arts and sciences, Northrop Frye argues that “it is clear that the arts do not stabilize the subject in the same way that science does. . . The stabilizing subject of science is usually identified with the reason; the unstabilizing subject is normally called the imagination”. Since the nineteen eighties, with the institutionalization of Humanities Computing research, there have been attempts at combining humanistic questions with technological innovations, and by extension, scientific concerns. Within the digital humanities there is a tension between these two positions that often results in the neglect of the human analyst and an elevated use of technology when applied to tool design. This can be seen in the current trend of distant reading, which is the batch processing and analysis of text corpora using machines. This approach stands in stark contrast to close reading which traditionally in English studies has entailed looking at individual words and their relation to a text as a whole in terms of not what the text means, but how it means. In this thesis I argue that the bridge between technology and literary criticism can be built using digital tools as long as those tools allow access to both the reason of science and the imagination of art. I present four digital projects that each investigate this problem in a novel way: (1) I use an algorithmic approach to investigate T.S. Eliot’s own theoretical position in terms of his diction, (2) I designed and developed a visualization of the English language, LDNA, that can be recovered back into the original text, (3) I conducted a study with 14 expert literary critics to analyze their current methods and used these results to design a tool, MetaTation, that can be integrated into the literary critical process, and (4) I also demonstrated how evidence-based testing of literary theory can be done in the context of Engineering writing by conducting a study that tests the feminist theory of false universals in human-computer interaction literature. I use these projects to present a hybrid approach that answers the question: How do we reconcile the specificity and human dependent nature of an unstable and imaginative close reading with the historic breadth and reason of a distant reading approach?

Esta tese propõe um tool kit para a aplicação do storytelling como auxiliar no desenvolvimento de projetos de sistema-produto-serviço na perspectiva das MPEs, com ênfase na comunicação do SPS. Para atingir aos objetivos elencados para o seu desenvolvimento, partiu-se de uma revisão bibliográfica que teve como base compreender o design estratégico, através da ótica do sistema-produto-serviço, além de investigar o storytelling. A partir destas percepções, utilizou-se uma pesquisa qualitativa, a qual a aplicação se desenvolveu em três partes: workshop com micro e pequenos empresários, chamada fase desabafo, um segundo momento após esta fase, onde foi desenvolvida uma ferramenta que serve de auxílio às MPEs, no intuito de auxiliar na organização, comunicação e desenvolvimento de seus próprios produtos-serviços, através do storytelling. E, por fim, a fase de validação, chamada: sonho. Nesta última etapa foi realizado um workshop com os micro e pequenos empresários e, após, formado um grupo focal com alguns especialistas para validação de toda a estrutura apresentada. Com isso, pode-se colaborar com um novo produto, o tool kit Story Canvas, que é dividido em um livro, ao estilo manual, um canvas e cartas norteadoras. Esta ferramenta, após os testes e validações, está pronta para ser entregue ao mercado para que possa ser mais uma opção de ajuda estratégica às empresas que querem comunicar suas histórias.

This thesis proposes a toolkit for the application of storytelling as an aid in the development of system-product-service projects from the perspective of MSEs, with emphasis on SPS communication. In order to achieve the objectives listed for its development, we started from a bibliographic review that was based on understanding strategic design through the system-product-service perspective, as well as investigating storytelling. From these perceptions, we used a qualitative research, which the application was developed in three parts: workshop with micro and small entrepreneurs, called venting phase, a second moment after this phase, where a tool was developed to help the MPEs, in order to assist in the organization, communication and development of their own product-services through storytelling. And finally, the validation phase, called: dream. In this last stage, a workshop was held with micro and small entrepreneurs and, afterwards, a focus group was formed with some specialists to validate the whole structure presented. With this, you can collaborate with a new product, the Story Canvas tool kit, which is divided into a manual-style book, a canvas and guiding letters. This tool, after testing and validation, is ready to be delivered to the market so it can be another strategic help option for companies that want to communicate their stories.

▼ During the early stages of the construction process of a building, the potential impact of design decisions is at its greatest. One of the reasons is the lack of computational tools at these stages. The main objective of this research project was the expansion of StructuralComponents by the development of a parametric real-time computational tool prototype to quickly determine the feasibility of mid-rise buildings designs with rigid frames as stability members. A study of rigid frames behaviour was performed to define a range of applicability of the existing analytical representation and to develop two new methods to analytically represent rigid frames behaviour: a correction method for the shear beam representation and a method based on the Timoshenko beam theory. To allow for vertical connections of different rigid frame geometries, an analytical method to consider a different stiffness along the height was developed. The results showed that the analytical shear beam representation of rigid frames has a reduced range of applicability for parametric purposes. This reduced applicability is due to the combined shear and bending behaviour. The correction method follows from the prediction of the error when using the shear beam representation. In addition to the correction of the shear beam representation, the prediction of the error was defined as a parameter to classify the behaviour of a rigid frame as a shear, flexural or combined type. Both, the applicability range and the correction method are based on analytical and numerical comparisons, as well as the performed validations. The implemented software comprises Maplesoft to get the analytical solutions and Grasshopper with Karamba3D (which contains the finite element solver) to get the numerical solutions. The method based on the Timoshenko beam theory comes from the theoretical derivations of a serial system that takes into account both, bending and shear deformations. It was found that it is more appropriate to analytically represent the general behaviour of rigid frames with the Timoshenko beam theory and by additionally considering a different stiffness calculation for the ground floor. Also, it was shown that the vertical connections of rigid frame geometries can be addressed with the calculation of an analytical solution for each different geometry along the height. Both analytical approaches, the Timoshenko beam representation and the method for vertical connections were implemented in the tool prototype. Such a tool consists of a calculation method to assess the structural performance of a building by the simultaneous structural analysis of every rigid frame subjected to a lateral load. The three main characteristics of the tool prototype are the parametric adaptability, the instantaneous display of results and the stacking “Lego-type” connection between components. The validations in this research project showed that the proposed and implemented methods are suitable for preliminary design stages because the error for the most unfavourable geometric… Advisors/Committee Members: Rots, Jan (mentor), Coenders, Jeroen (graduation committee), Hendriks, Max (graduation committee), Crielaard, Roy (graduation committee), Hohrath, Babette (graduation committee), Delft University of Technology (degree granting institution).
