ENGINEERING DESIGN FROM A SAFETY PERSPECTIVE

A Systemic Control Model for Covid-19 Outbreak from a Safety Engineering Perspective

Reducing the consequences of the Covid 19 outbreak requires a systematic approach. The most effective way to prevent this disease is to cut off the virus transmission chain. In this letter, a systemic model for the management of the Covid 19 crisis is presented based on the bow-tie analysis model and the concept of Layers of Protection Analysis from the perspective of safety engineering. In thi...

Revisiting classical design in engineering from a perspective of frugality

The conservative nature of design in engineering has typically unleashed products fabricated with generous amounts of raw materials. This is epitomized by the factor of safety whose values higher than unity suggests various uncertainties of design that are tackled through material padding. This effort proposes a new factor of safety called the factor of frugality that could be used in ecodesign...

Design Evaluation of Crutches from an Engineering Perspective

Crutches carry a physiological and psychological benefits especially when they’re compared to the wheelchair. However, traditional crutches could yield a large number of problems to the user which may overshadow its benefits. Furthermore, Engineers found that forearm crutches are suitable for the majority as it has minimum disadvantages comparted to the other crutches. Previous researches recom...

Many-Objective Optimization: An Engineering Design Perspective

Evolutionary multicriteria optimization has traditionally concentrated on problems comprising 2 or 3 objectives. While engineering design problems can often be conveniently formulated as multiobjective optimization problems, these often comprise a relatively large number of objectives. Such problems pose new challenges for algorithm design, visualisation and implementation. Each of these three ...
