Drawing and Design Intentions-- an Investigation of freehand drawingconventions in design

Dissertation proposal The Right Tool at the Right Time -- investigation of freehand drawing conventions as an interface to knowledge based design aids

ترسیم نمودارها، کمکی به فرآیند طراحی معماری

Designers draw diagrams to think about architectural concepts and design concerns. Scientists are interested in programming computers to recognize and interpret design diagrams to deliver appropriate tools for the design task at hand. Researchers conducted empirical studies to find out if designers share drawing conventions when designing. The experiment results show that designers use differen...

An Investigation on the Effects of Optimum Forming Parameters in Hydromechanical Deep Drawing Process Using the Genetic Algorithm

The present research work is concerned with the effects of optimum process variables in elevated temperature hydro-mechanical deep drawing of 5052 aluminum alloy. Punch-workpiece and die-workpiece friction coefficients together with the initial gap between the blank holder and matrix were considered as the process variables which, in optimization terminology, are called design parameters. Since...

An Investigation into the Deep Drawing of Fiber-Metal Laminates based on Glass Fiber Reinforced Polypropylene

Abstract   Fiber-metal laminates (FMLs) are new type of composite materials which could improve defects of traditional composites in ductility, formability, impact and damage tolerance. Drawing behavior of a thermoplastic based FML was investigated consisting of glass-fiber reinforced polypropylene composite laminate and aluminum AA1200-O as the core and skin layers, respectively. The effects o...

Current Discussions on Digital Sketching in the Early Stages of Architectural Design in Education

In the architectural design, designers are focused on the early stages of the design process or conceptual design. The ultimate goal of this stage is to find a solution for an existing problem, investigate design space, or explore an idea. This stage conventionally begins with sketches and diagrams to explore ideas and solutions; the ambiguity and vagueness of conventional freehand sketching ca...
