Co-Design Optimisation of Morphing Topology and Control of Winged Drones

Dario Floreano, Valentin Wüest, Fabio Bergonti

The design and control of winged aircraft and drones is an iterative process aimed at identifying a compromise of mission-specific costs and constraints. When agility is required, shape-shifting (morphing) drones represent an efficient solution. However, m ...

What Role Do Tangibles Play in Fostering Design Thinking Skills? An Exploratory Study

Yousef Jalali, Natascia Petringa, Mary Jean Bürer

Despite the importance of using artifacts during the design thinking process, there is a limited understanding of the influence of tangibles with lower perceptual richness on design thinking skills within educational settings. It is speculated that tangibl ...

Assessing the implementation of user-centred design standards on assistive technology for persons with visual impairments: a systematic review

Klaus Benedikt Schönenberger, Mario Andres Chavarria Varon

Despite scientific and technological advances in the field of assistive technology (AT) for people with visual impairment (VI), technological designs are frequently based on a poor understanding of the physical and social context of use, resulting in devic ...

Experimental Study to Validate an Improved Approach to Design Acceleration-Sensitive Nonstructural Components

Dimitrios Lignos, Ahmed Mohamed Ahmed Elkady

Nonstructural components in buildings can be subjected to very large acceleration and deformation demands during earthquakes. This is particularly true for flexible components that are tuned or nearly tuned to one of the modal frequencies of the supporting ...

Promoting Critical and Design Thinking Activities to Tackle Sustainable Development Goals in Higher Education

Denis Gillet, Isabelle Barbara Marie-Hélène Cardia

Since 2016, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) came into force, and for the first time they include higher education. Therefore, higher institutions are finding ways to incorporate them into their teachings and research activities. This paper cont ...

Hydraulic design of classical stilling basins downstream of stepped chutes

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Michael Pfister, José Pedro Gamito de Saldanha Calado Matos, Ivan Stojnic

New design information regarding the hydraulic behaviour of classical stilling basins downstream of stepped chutes is presented and discussed. An extensive experimental campaign revealed that classical stilling basins preceded by stepped chutes cannot be a ...

Antenna for a Cranial Implant: Simulation Issues and Design Strategies

Anja Skrivervik, Zvonimir Sipus, Miroslav Veljovic

The design of a specific antenna for a cranial implant is used to illustrate design and simulation issues linked to implantable antennas. After a brief introduction, we will review the requirements for the antenna, and go through the design process, discus ...

Design and control of a prototype structure that adapts to loading through large shape changes

Ian Smith, Gennaro Senatore, Arka Prabhata Reksowardojo, Apoorv Srivastava

This paper reports on experimental testing that was carried out on a prototype adaptive structure designed to counteract the effect of loading through controlled large shape changes. The prototype is 6.6 m truss equipped with 12 linear actuators which has ...
