Wiegers, T. (author), Langeveld, L.H. (author), Vergeest, J.S.M. (author)Many designers do not use CAD tools for shape ideation. They consider CAD systems not appropriate for the ideation phase. This research investigates how designers ideate shape, in particular which terms they use to exteriorize shape. The goal is to be able to propose digital tools that are useful for shape ideation. For the inventory of shape...conference paper 2001

Van der Vegte, W.F. (author), Vergeest, J.S.M. (author), Horváth, I. (author)To increase the effectiveness of computer support in development and production of durable industrial products (artifacts), three problems still need to be solved: (a) integration ofaspect models used in artifact development, (b) integration of the aspect models used in process planning andprocess representations, (c) integration of(a) and (b)....journal article 2001

Van der Vegte, W.F. (author), Horváth, I. (author)If conceptual modeling and simulation of consumer durables could include consideration of use processes, designers could more successfully anticipate the interaction ofproducts with users in a use environment. This is the basic idea behind our research into computer-aided modeling and forecasting product-use processes. This survey investigates...journal article 2002

Van der Vegte, W.F. (author), Kitamura, Y. (author), Mizoguchi, R. (author), Horváth, I. (author)the function-behavior representation language FBRL was originally devised for modeling and knowledge management of intended product behavior. This paper explores its potential for application to other-than-intended behavior in a use context, introducing consideration of the user and the environment. We found that slightly adapted building blocks...conference paper 2002

Van der Vegte, W.F. (author), Horváth, I. (author)when products are being designed, especially in conceptual design where there is a multitude of options for the designer. This paper presents a methodology to generate resource-integrated models unifying representations of the product, the user and the environment based on nucleus modelling, which is presented in Part 1 of this paper, according...conference paper 2003

Van der Vegte, W.F. (author), Horváth, I. (author)Conventionally, simulation of product behaviour is employed as a pre-realization type of assessment at the end of the design process, making only late feedback for improvement possible. Enabling the start of optimization in the conceptualization is expected to have significant influence on design efficiency. However, the available information at...conference paper 2003

Wever, R. (author), Boks, C. (author), Stevels, A. (author)Two major changes are currently taking place in the world of Consumer Electronics. They are, first, the relocation of production to low-wage countries, in particularly China. This results in longer distribution distances, which lead to a higher relative importance of this phase in the entire life cycle. To make this phase as efficient as...conference paper 2006

Moes, C.C.M. (author)The pressure distribution and the location of the points of maximum pressure, usually below the ischial tuberosities, was measured for subjects sitting on a flat, hard and horizontal support, and varying angle of the rotation of the pelvis. The pressure data were analyzed for force- and pressure-related quantities. Multiple regression was...journal article 2007

Karana, E. (author), Hekkert, P.P.M. (author), Kandachar, P.V. (author)The competitive market rising from the increase in product consumption makes product designers consider more about materials than before. Materials, indeed, have been extensively studied in science and engineering for years. Existing materials selection sources can serve as useful function in giving up to date information on technical (physical,...journal article 2007

Van der Vegte, W.F. (author), Horváth, I. (author)The approach described in this paper aims to offer designers a new way to investigate use processes of products by integrating scenarios of expected user behaviour with simulations of physical artefact behaviour. Use is considered a key process in the life cycle of a product, being the phase in which an instance of a product is put into service...conference paper 2007

Boks, C. (author), Wever, R. (author)Design for Sustainability has traditionally focused strongly on green fulfilment of a given function, i.e. the process after a design brief has been formulated. The part of the New Product Development process that comes before the formulation of the design brief, is usually referred to as the Fuzzy Front End. Here, the function is determined...conference paper 2007

Flipsen, S.F.J. (author)New power sources emerge very quickly. Implementation of hybrid power sources for portable electronics depends on the knowledge of industrial designers. For now this group has little understanding of fuel cells and especially fuel-cell hybrids. This slows down implementation and increases the chance of failure. In this paper a review is given of...conference paper 2009
