Abstract:

The full integration of End User Factors (EUFs) into the building design processes environment is still emergent. It has been suggested from other sectors that the integration of EUFs into design can improve work performance and promote the workforce’s physical and mental health. The need for EUFs in the passive design strategies (PDS) (i.e., ventilation, day lighting and thermal comfort) has become a prerequisite condition from clients to enhance the user experience and harmonise their activities with PD performances. MFE (2011) claimed that architects are not fully engaged in the integration

Abstract:

A notion of identity is of vital importance to each individual and the society. Its significance is manifest from two perspectives. On one hand, many systems rely on identity to provide proper services and fulfill their functionality. On the other hand, loss or leakage of identity can cause disastrous consequences. Identity is hence the sought-after to both benign and malicious entities. The representation, acquisition, validation and application of identity have been evolving consistently with the advances in technology. The last decade has witnessed the rapid adoption of mobile electronic de

Abstract:

The modern world has forgotten a crucial part of what historically has been a beautiful experience in our homes: its connection to the planet. This thesis proposes a mix-use building that acts as an instrument to connect the users with the planet while maintaining contemporary standards of living. I believe that human beings have an innate tendency to connect with nature. The building design will have a passive aspect that is experiential and the active aspect that is functional. The spaces come alive through design by translating the planets four elements as a part of the daily lives of the u

Abstract:

The performance of unheated solar buffer zones (SBZs) or sunspaces in relatively high latitudes' locations has become increasingly controversial. Conceived as simultaneously saving energy and providing amenity, the latter characteristic has provided the user with the opportunity and/or aspiration to negate the former - by heating a sunspace during winter either directly, or by opening it up as an extended heated part of the dwelling. Scotland has been host to passive solar projects promoting the use of small sunspaces where 'opening up' is a greater risk than directly heating. 'Opening-up' sig

Abstract:

Testing gait rehabilitation devices on humans can be a difficult task, due to the effects of the neurological controls of the human body. This thesis advances the use of a passive dynamic walker (PDW) tuned to have asymmetric gait patterns similar to those with physical impairments to test rehabilitation devices. A passive dynamic walker is a multipendulum system that has a stable gait pattern when walking down a slope without any energy inputs except the forces due to gravity. A PDW model is better suited for testing rehabilitation devices because it has been shown to resemble human gait and

This thesis examined the potential sound insulation benefit by using damping material to absorb vibrational energy along its transmission path. Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA) was used to evaluate the effect on system performance of adding damping globally, as well as its influence on individual transmission paths. Nine different theoretical models were studied using both bending only and three-wave SEA models to predict the system behaviour in different frequency regions. The results suggest that global damping treatment generally increases the sound insulation in buildings. Initial increas

Vibrations resulting from earthquakes, machinery, or unanticipated shocks may be very damaging and costly to structures. To avoid such damage, designers need a structural system that can dissipate the energy caused by these vibrations. Using elastically buckled struts may be a viable means to reduce the harmful effects of unexpected vibrations. Post-buckled struts can support high axial loads and also act as springs in a passive vibration isolation system by absorbing or dissipating the energy caused by external excitation. When a base excitation is applied, the buckled strut may act to reduce
