Computational conceptual design — typological exploration of spatial truss systems through optimization
Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Pierluigi D'Acunto, Jonas Warmuth
Exploring a wide range of design options is crucial for every sound conceptual design process. In the conventional structural design workflow, optimization techniques are generally employed to generate well-performing design options. However, focusing only ...
International Association for Shell and Spatial Structures (IASS)2023An optimized electronic platform for magnetorheological actuators control
This project focuses on the design and production of an electronic circuit, whose goal is to control the opening and closing of magneto-rheological (MR) valves embedded in a shoe. ...
2023Understanding intergenerational fitness tracking practices: 12 suggestions for design
The paper presents a qualitative study to explore the use of fitness trackers and their social functions in intergenerational settings. The study covered three phases of semi-structured interviews with older and younger adults during individual and interge ...
SPRINGERNATURE2021Design 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 ...
ELSEVIER2020Designing for visual appeal, simplicity and concreteness: the development and evaluation of design standards to manipulate icon characteristics
Nicolas Henchoz, Romain Simon Collaud, Andreas Sonderegger
Good icon design is now recognized as crucial in determining user experience with mobile, PC and other applications. However, research examining icon use and processing is based on the use of existing icon sets. This leaves many questions about how new ico ...
2017The Critical Shear Crack Theory for punching design: from a mechanical model to closed-form design expressions
Aurelio Muttoni, Miguel Fernández Ruiz
The Critical Shear Crack Theory (CSCT) is a consistent approach used for shear design of one- and two-way slabs failing in shear and punching shear respectively. The theory is based on a mechanical model allowing to determine the amount of shear force that ...
2016From Seminar to Lecture to MOOC: Scripting and Orchestration at Scale
This dissertation investigates the design of large online courses from the pedagogical perspective of knowledge communities. Much of the learning sciences literature has concerned itself with groups of up to 20-30 students, but in universities, courses of ...
University of Toronto2016Uncomfortable yet Fun Messaging with Chachachat
Denis Gillet, Adrian Christian Holzer, Andrii Vozniuk, Sten Govaerts, Angelo Benedetto
In order to improve user experience and to foster novel ideas, some voices in the HCI community have argued to break fundamental design rules, an approach well known in the art community. In this paper, we use this radical approach to design a playful mobi ...
2015Panel: The Future of Electronics, Semiconductors, and Design in Europe
For more than a decade, Europe has been the wireless continent; today, wireless has almost completely shifted to the U.S. and Asia. This shift has had a profound impact on the electronic, semiconductor, and design ecosystem: long-time leaders have disappea ...
2015Battle of the Water Networks II
Qi Wang, José Pedro Gamito de Saldanha Calado Matos, Marco Franchini
The Battle of the Water Networks II (BWN-II) is the latest of a series of competitions related to the design and operation of water distribution systems (WDSs) undertaken within the Water Distribution Systems Analysis (WDSA) Symposium series. The BWN-II pr ...
