De Wilde, P.J.C.J. (author)Buildings use energy for heating, cooling and lighting, contributing to the problems of exhaustion of fossil fuel supplies and environmental pollution. In order to make buildings more energy-efficient an extensive set of âenergy saving building componentsâ has been developed that contributes to minimizing the energy need of buildings, that helps...doctoral thesis 2004

Muller, G.J. (author)This thesis describes the CAFCR method for embedded systems architecting. Embedded systems are software and technology intensive systems. Typical examples of software and technology intensive products are televisions, DVD-players, MRI scanners, and printers. The creation of these products is a multi-disciplinary effort by hundreds of engineers....doctoral thesis 2004

Oosterom, R. (author)The shoulder joint provides us with a large range of motion. This is enabled by the shallowness of the glenoid cavity and the cooperation of many bone elements of the shoulder girdle. This results in complex biomechanics and dependency to surrounding soft tissues for its stability. Due to a fracture or joint diseases, a shoulder replacement may...doctoral thesis 2005

Keller, A.I. (author)Designers surround themselves with visual material as a source of inspiration. The images are used in collages and moodboards to define and communicate the direction of a design project at an early stage of the design process. This thesis describes how designers interact with their collections of visual material and how new tools can support...doctoral thesis 2005

van der Tempel, J. (author)To meet growing energy demands, the Kyoto protocol and the much desired diversification of supply, wind energy has become a mainstream source of energy in the EU. Cost wise it is already competing with gas fired electricity. In the last decade wind moved offshore to accommodate even more wind power. The offshore wind resource is more abundant...doctoral thesis 2006

Groeneveld, R.P. (author)The aim of this research is to clarify the role of intuition in the design process. For this purpose, nineteen in depth interviews with designers were recorded and analysed. Through these interviews, it has been revealed that both rational as well as intuitive aspects play a part in the design process. This research shows a way of designing in...doctoral thesis 2006

Busch, N. (author)People do the laundry all over the world. About 500 million washing machines are in use at the moment. To reduce the heavy workload, washing machines were invented about 100 years ago. 50 years of innovations led to a reduction in water, energy and detergent consumption and the interface became easier to use. However, the overall usage of the...doctoral thesis 2006

Kuijt-Evers, L.F.M. (author)Everyone uses hand tools in their daily life, like knife and fork. Moreover, many people use hand tools in their profession as well as during leisure time. It is important that they can work with hand tools that provide comfort. Until now, the avoidance of discomfort was emphasized during the design process of hand tools, like screwdrivers, hand...doctoral thesis 2007

Read, S. (author), Bruyns, G. (author), Van den Hoogen, E. (author), Plomp, M. (author)The Flat City space syntax model (Read, 2005), has been developed to extend the functionality of the space syntax method into the ‘periphery’ (the metropolitan) of the contemporary metropolitan city, and to provide a method for describing and evaluating the form of contemporary urban landscapes. The Flat City model proposes that the environment...conference paper 2007

Coussy, E. (author)The application of a hydrological rainfall-runoff scale model helps to illustrate hydrological processes better than a theoretical example on a black board. For this reason a first version of physical hydrological scale model was designed and built. The goal will be to build a second version which it is possible to move to be used for practical...report 2007
