Dierker Viik, L.T. (author), Coenders, Jeroen (author), Pasterkamp, S. (author)This paper discusses the project StructuralComponents 6, a continuation of the ongoing project StructuralComponents which focuses on the development of computational tools for conceptual building design beginning with Breider [1]. The goal of StructuralComponents 6 is to develop a tool for the conceptual design of mid-rise concrete buildings...conference paper 2021

Gonçalves, M. (author), Cash, Philip (author)Ideation is simultaneously one of the most investigated and most intriguing aspects of design. The reasons for this attention are partly due to its importance in design and innovation, and partly due to an array of conflicting results and explanations. In this study, we develop an integrative perspective on individual ideation by combining...journal article 2021

Knudsen, L.S. (author), Haase, L.M. (author), Gonçalves, M. (author)A design rationale is a representation of the reasoning behind a design concept, explaining why the solution is designed the way it is. This makes design rationale a critical part of concept development. However, there is little exploration on how to build a design rationale. This study sheds light on professional designers’ reasoning in...conference paper 2020

Chiang, Y.-C. (author), Borgart, A. (author), Li, Q. (author)Membrane shells, which have minimized bending moments under certain load conditions, are regarded as ideal structural forms in terms of material efficiency. Most of the existing numerical form-finding methods are based on discretizing membranes into finite panels or funicular networks and focusing on gravitational loading only. In order to...conference paper 2019

van Riel, W. (author), Post, J.A.B. (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Herder, P.M. (author), Clemens, F.H.L.R. (author)Operational decision-making processes for networked infrastructure management often occur as a multi-actor planning problem, implying these are based on negotiations between different stakeholders in addition to available system quality information. As such, does more accurate data about actual structural condition lead to other or better...journal article 2016

Wan, J. (author), Pavel, M.D. (author)The Ornicopter concept is a single-rotor, tailless configuration. By actively flapping its blades, the Ornicopter rotor can propel itself to rotate, and hence does not need a tail rotor. In previous research, the Ornicopter concept has been compared with the Bo-105 conventional helicopter from various aspects, while the Ornicopter has the same...journal article 2016

Victoria Garcia, M. (author), Swinkels, P.L.J. (author)Hydrogen, if produced from clean and abundant sources, has the potential for solving the concerns on energy supply security, climate change and local air pollution. Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water-splitting is a promising technology under development for the production of hydrogen from water by using sunlight. This design project aims to...report 2015

Rolvink, A. (author), Coenders, J.L. (author), Mueller, C. (author)This paper presents a review of existing research, projects, developments and applications in the domain of design tools for conceptual structural engineering. The availability of these tools and research into software for conceptual structural design stages has shown a number of interesting developments over the last past few years. The purpose...conference paper 2014

Coenders, J.L. (author), Rolvink, A. (author)This paper presents a proposal to employ the design computing methodology proposed as StructuralComponents (Rolvink et al [6] and van de Weerd et al [7]) as a method to perform a digital verification process to fulfil the requirements related to structural design and engineering as part of a building design. In current design and engineering...conference paper 2014

Heidegger, V. (author), Coenders, J.L. (author), Rolvink, A. (author)This paper presents the results of the investigation into the possibilities for the implementation of a Building Performance Simulation design toolbox during the early stages of façade design, based on the sustainability-open framework [2]. The background and development of the EnergyFacade toolbox will be discussed which has been built on the...conference paper 2014

Wan, J. (author)The tail rotor of conventional helicopters has always been considered a necessary 'evil'. It is necessary to counteract the reaction torque of the engine and to control the helicopter in yaw but it consumes substantial power, has only marginal control authority under unfavourable wind conditions, and it is noisy, vulnerable and dangerous. A...doctoral thesis 2014

Turrin, M. (author), Chatzikonstantinou, I. (author), Tenpierik, M.J. (author), Sariyildiz, I.S. (author)The paper tackles the integration of engineering performance simulations in the conceptual phase of architectural design, with specific focus on parametric design processes. A general framework is exemplified, in which the use of performance simulations and the learning process of the designer are discussed in relation to the parameterization...conference paper 2013

Turrin, M. (author), Stouffs, R.M.F. (author), Sariyildiz, I.S. (author)In this paper, alternative approaches to structure the parametric geometry in relation to information on various performances are described and exemplified. They relate to different levels of knowledge that concern the performances considered in the process and which are available to the designer while the parametric model is being set....conference paper 2013

D'Amelio, V. (author), Chmarra, M.K. (author), Tomiyama, T. (author)Qualitative reasoning can generate ambiguous behaviors due to the lack of quantitative information. Despite many different research results focusing on ambiguities reduction, fundamentally it is impossible to totally remove ambiguities with only qualitative methods and to guarantee the consistency of results. This prevents the wide use of...journal article 2013

(author)The current International Human Powered Vehicle Association world records for faired bicycles stand at 133.284km/h for the 200m flying start speed record and 91.562 km for the hour record.

De Breuker, R. (author)Morphing aircraft can change their shape radically when confronted with a variety of conflicting flight conditions throughout their mission. For instance the F-14 Tomcat fighter aircraft, known from the movie Top Gun, was able to sweep its wings from a straight wing configuration to a highly swept version. Such concepts, which are basically...doctoral thesis 2011

D'Amelio, V. (author), Chmarra, M.K. (author), Tomiyama, T. (author)Developing multi-disciplinary products presents cross-disciplinary problems that are difficult to predict and to solve. Unfortunately, those cross-disciplinary problems are often discovered only at a later stage of the design through physical prototypes and can lead to modification of the conceptual design of a product. This is extremely costly...journal article 2011

D' Amelio, V. (author)In the last decades, the complexity of products has increased exponentially. This com- plexity is due to the ever-growing market demand for new and innovative products with multiple functionalities, to the product size and component density that grow to a level that only a handful of experts can deal with, and to the multi-disciplinarity or...doctoral thesis 2010
