Klok, J.W.A. (author), Groenewegen, Jessica (author), Temmerman, Olivier (author), Van Straten, Niels (author), van Straten, Bart (author), Dankelman, J. (author), Horeman, T. (author)Objective: Cemented total hip arthroplasty (THA) demonstrates superior survival rates compared to uncemented procedures. Nevertheless, most younger patients opt for uncemented THA, as removing well-fixed bone cement in the femur during revisions is complex, particularly the distal cement plug. This removal procedure often increases the risk...journal article 2024

van Oudheusden, A.A. (author), Buijserd, A.J. (author), Doubrovski, E.L. (author), Flipsen, Bas (author), Faludi, Jeremy (author), Balkenende, R. (author)Spare parts availability is crucial for extending the life of consumer products. However, long-term availability could lead to high stocks of spare parts, which might not be used. Instead, on-demand manufacturing of spare parts with additive manufacturing (AM) is a promising alternative. This paper presents a method to evaluate parts on their...conference paper 2023

Talgorn, E.C.V. (author), Ullerup, Helle (author)In sustainable design and innovation, appreciation of the Planet as an equal stakeholder with humans and businesses continues to rise. Yet a consistent challenge arises in that people have difficulties relating to the nonhuman and interpret the world in terms of human values and experiences. We need more practical tools to stimulate a...journal article 2023

Boorsma, N.E. (author), Polat, E. (author), Bakker, C.A. (author), Peck, David (author), Balkenende, R. (author)Design indicators can be used by companies to track circular design implementation, which can yield insights into their performance and opportunities for improvement. Yet, existing indicator methods either lack depth with regard to circular design, are incomplete, or do not use design semantics. This study explores product-level circularity...journal article 2022

Singh, A. (author), Romero Herrera, N.A. (author), van Dijk, Hylke W. (author), Keyson, D.V. (author), Strating, Alex T. (author)The literature on Design Anthropology (DA) is skewed towards discussion exploring anthropology's potential for design. In contrast, discourse on how design can contribute to anthropology is somewhat limited. This article proposes an ‘Anthropology through Design’ (AtD) approach by reflecting on a study on the emergent phenomenon of ‘energy...journal article 2021

Chatty, T. (author), Faludi, Jeremy (author)How do employees perceive the impact of incorporating sustainability considerations into their product development practice? In this case study, we observe how these perceptions can be shifted by teaching workshops on how to apply sustainable design methods in practice. We compare the trends for different methods on various dimensions such as...journal article 2020

Huang, S. (author), Carulli, M. (author), Hekkert, P.P.M. (author), Schifferstein, Hendrik N.J. (author), Bordegoni, M (author)Within the scope of Design for Sustainable Behaviour, the connection between behavioural change strategies and design idea generation has received limited attention. This paper highlights metaphorical thinking in product design to stimulate sustainable behaviour. In particular, the current study proposes a metaphor-based design method to guide...conference paper 2020

Spittka, Rubin (author)Philippine low-income housing is uncomfortable since it is not built to deal with the hot and humid climate in a passive way. Since local vernacular architecture is known to have a good climatic responsive performance, the aim of this research is to learn how Philippine vernacular design strategies can improve thermal comfort for low-lying, sub...master thesis 2019

Franx, Laura (author)The Netherlands faces climate change due to global warming and earthquakes due to gas production. To decrease both earthquakes and CO2 production, the government aims to half the gas production in the coming four years and aims for an entire stop by 2030. Over 80% of Dutch houses are heated with gas; 20% were built in the late post-war era (1960...master thesis 2018

Mourtzouchou, Maria (author)The building sector is responsible for more than one third of resource consumption globally. Concerning the new construction, new regulations have been set, which impose that by 2020 all new buildings constructed within the EU should reach nearly zero-energy levels. The building envelope plays a strategic role in the energy and environmental...master thesis 2018
