Design for additive manufacturing is adopted to help solve problems inherent to attaching active personal sampler systems to workers for monitoring their breathing zone. A novel and parametric 3D printable clip system was designed with an... more
Recent researches on building construction and deconstruction seem to suggest that, from a theoretical point of view, the criteria for buildings' connection selection might lead to scenarios of total material recovery and would allow the... more
Satisfactory weatherproofing of buildings is vital to maximise their design life and performance which requires the careful design of external sealing technologies. Systems commonly available have served well in conventional construction... more
The development of new methods for design for manufacture and assembly, the need to incorporate quality during the design phase and the recent focus on transparent design work and communication have all created a need for a more... more
The realization of Modular Construction (MC) is impeded by several barriers, e.g., initial investment, logistics constraints, and negative perception. Design, a profoundly creative process to alleviate difficulties in the built... more

The increasing demand for robotized productions in the industrial sector entails the need for improvement of the robotic arms’ structures. The major criteria for the development of robot arm links are the stiffness and strength... more
As multi-layered accounts, the publication ‘Design at the Doorstep; Design Approaches for MSMEs’ brings to the fore the typical characteristics and concerns of the Indian MSMEs and scope for design intervention in this crucial sector of... more
Mechanical Engineering: An International Journal (MEIJ) is a peer-reviewed, open access journal that addresses the impacts and challenges of Mechanical Engineering. The journal documents practical and theoretical results which make a... more
Onion is densely produced crop in India. The harvesting of onion crop is laborious work and requires huge amount of manpower and time. As a part of harvesting of onion, root and shoot has to be trimmed manually, this is a labour oriented... more
This article for Estonian magazine MAJA advances the argument that what we consider “digital” in architecture, may in fact be analog. Architects have consistently misunderstood the nature of the digital, and have mainly based their... more
Resumo: Questões relativas à montagem de componentes são fundamentais para a concepção e o desenvolvimento de novos produtos durante o processo de projeto. Os princípios do DFMA (Design for Manufacturing and Assembly) destacam a ideia do... more
This research presents a framework to integrate Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) approach in the Italian Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) context, based on Building Information Modelling (BIM). DfMA applications... more
In the context of environmental emergency of which the construction sector is one of the main causes – since it consumes 40% of the (embodied and operational) energy and produces about a third of the total waste – and due to the ambitious... more
his paper presents a comprehensive analysis to examine the effectiveness of the Boothroyd Dewhurst Method for Assembly that is used to enhance the product design process. The Design efficiency of Lamp holder B22 was calculated by... more
The generalized use of computers in industrial automation and the consequent need for connectivity among them resulted in the use of computer networks as building blocks supporting communications in CIM (Computer Integrated Manufacturing)... more
Featured Application: The customizable clip system opens new possibilities for occupational health professionals since the basic design can be altered to hold different kinds of samplers and tools. The solution is shared using an open... more
Photonic systems typically consist of components and subassemblies whose functions may be categorized as optical, electronic, or mechanical. In the present study, it is demonstrated that unlike mechanical assemblies, building optical... more
The basic principles of design for assembly (DfA) are well established. This paper presents a short review of the development of DfA approaches before presenting a new tool in which these principles are packaged for use in teams, both in... more
Background and Aim: Assembly lines are associated with health risk and musculoskeletal disorders, particularly in the upper limbs. The aim of this study was to analyze three risk factors of posture, duration and force by using the... more
The technique of DNA fragment assembly tries to reconstruct the original DNA sequence from a large number of DNA fragments where each fragment consists of several hundred base-pairs long. DNA fragment assembly technique is much needed... more
There is a huge difference when the car engine running without a silencer and with a silencer. It is an important part used to reduce noise and to purify exhaust gas in cars by using some pretty neat technology. In most all cases, the... more
In the context of academic organizations, a technology transfer refers to the mechanism through which the institutions produce new technologies. Technology transfer may be accomplished in two ways: selling proprietary intellectual... more
The article deals with a case of an industrial plant for which a balanced mix of flexibility and production slenderness is sought together with high quality, transparency and production effectiveness. The study is based on virtual plant... more
