Simulation driven design : An iterative approach for mechanical engineerswith focus on modal analysis
This thesis of 15 hp has been implemented at Halmstad University, incollaboration with Saab Dynamics in Linköping. Saab Dynamics is a companyoperating in the defence industry where competition is tough. This necessitatesnew ways to increase efficiency in the company, which is the basis for this thesis.Saab Dynamics wants to introduce simulation driven design. Since SaabDynamics engineers have little experience of simulation, required a usermethodology with clear guidelines. Due to lack of time, they chose to assign thetask to students, which resulted in this thesis.The aim of the thesis is to develop a methodology in mechanical design, wherethe designer uses the FE analysis early in the design process to develop thestructures' mechanical properties.
HÄllbar design för gravplatser
A well-planned grave with a sustainable selection of plants facilitates easy maintenance for both staff and the holder of the right of burial. It also helps reduce the negative impact on the environment.As in many other areas, the environment is high on the agenda within the cemetery administration. One of the major concerns is the impact of the choice of plants for the grave. Within the industry there is a great motivation and willingness to adapt to a sustainable work mode and this has spawned a number of project works. In autumn 2009 the partnership project, ?Environmental aspects of planning and maintaining graves?, was started in Movium (at The Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences).
Design och meningsskapande i förskolan : En multimodal designteoretisk studie av fyra lÀrandesammanhang kring matematik
Studiens syfte var att, med utgÄngspunkt i ett designteoretiskt multimodalt perspektiv, beskriva, analysera och tolka hur tre förskolepedagoger designar lÀrandesammanhang, kring Àmnet matematik. Förutom detta var ocksÄ syftet att fÄ insikt om hur lÀrandesammanhangets design kunde förstÄs och tolkas i termer av lÀrande och meningsskapande. Den metod jag valde var uppbyggd kring en icke-deltagande videoobservation med ett kvalitativt upplÀgg dÀr mÄlet var att försöka förstÄ det som Àgde rum genom relevanta tolkningar. I resultat och slutsatser framkom det till exempel att förskolepedagogerna anvÀnder en mÀngd semiotiska resurser och teckensystem i form av fysiska redskap tillsammans med ansiktsuttryck, tal och handrörelser i kommunikationen med barnen. Dessutom framkom det att barnen ocksÄ anvÀnde sig av ett antal olika semiotiska resurser och teckensystem i arbetet med att skapa mening kring de olika lÀrandesituationerna.

The Low Line : ett gestaltningsförslag med inspiration frÄn The High Line
In the summer of 2009 the High Line opened in New York, a park built on an out-of use elevated rail viaduct. The park meanders its way through the buildings and allows the visitor to see the city from a totally different perspecive than we are used to.I have made a Design proposal in Eriksdalslunden, Stockholm, with inspiration from the High Line. The proposal is based on design ideas of a park I logically call the Low Line, as the place isn't elevated as in New York, but lowered. The two places have some similarities, mainly the strong urban identity and the tracks crossing both areas. They also have very obvious differences, above all the fact that Eriksdalslunden is situated in a swale and is defined in a third dimension by the high bridges that crosses the area.The High Line is designed by James Corner Field Operations, and they have been working using their motto 'Keep it Simple, Keep it Wild, Keep it Quiet and Keep it Slow' during the whole process, words that normally aren't associated to Manhattan.
Ekosystembaserad biomimik : hantering av klimatförÀndringar med hÄllbar design
Inom hÄllbar design har man under senare Är börjat hÀrma naturen för att hitta nya lösningar pÄ mÀnniskans problem. Naturens ekosystem fungerar som praktiska modeller för kretsloppsfungerande miljöer dÀr energi och material tas om hand ? precis som visionen för den hÄllbara staden. Genom att dels förstÄ ekosystemets uppbyggnad, dels övergÄngen frÄn ekologi till design, kan man efterlikna ekosystem i den urbana miljön. Designstrategin biomimik Àr en tillÀmpning av detta förhÄllningssÀtt, dÀr man efterliknar naturens processer i arkitektur.
Design för Ätervinning av elektriska och elektroniska produkter
MÀngden elavfall ökar och kommer att fortsÀtta att öka en tid framöver. Elektriska och elektroniska produkter innehÄller en mÀngd olika Àmnen, i vissa fall upp till 60 olika grundÀmnen. En del av Àmnena Àr giftiga eller farliga och en del Àr vÀldigt vÀrdefulla. I t.ex. mobiltelefoner stÄr Àdelmetallerna för 93 % av vÀrdet.

Det a?r inte ovanligt att fo?retag inte fo?rsta?r hur viktigt det a?r att ens grafiska profil a?r uppdaterad och fo?rmedlar det man sta?r fo?r.
UML i teori och praktik
Abstract
During object-oriented system development, programming should be preceded by
analysis and design to assure that the system fulfils the demands of the
customer and simplify during the development phase and documentation. When
modeling the analysis and design phases, several different notations may be
used. One of these is the UML (Unified Modeling Language) which this thesis
will cover. The aim is to compare the use of the UML i practice versus what is
said in the literature.
The investigation is built upon interviews at different companies to receive
their reflections about the UML.
Design av en mobil arbetsterminal för röntgenavdelningar
In healthcare settings, administrative routines have been made more efficientthrough digitalization of information and the introduction of stationary computers.This situation is especially true when it comes to radiology, where pictures,referrals and patient information now is completely managed by advanced stationarycomputer systems. However, studies have shown that these rationalizationsdo not support flexible and mobile work routines.PocketRIS is a prototype illustrating a mobile terminal for radiology that hasbeen designed to simplify workflow and reduce the cognitive workload of healthcarepersonnel. PocketRIS includes a visualization of the clinicians work situationincluding a personal referral list that can make the user attentive of importantevents.Contextual Design has been used to elicit the basic system requirements for thesystem; 19 contextual inquires was conducted with physicians, nurses and assistantnurses at two different radiology clinics in Sweden during six days. The purposeof the study was also to identify the groups that have the greatest need for amobile terminal. The study was concerned with design and evaluation of differentsolutions with healthcare personnel.The result shows that physicians and assistant nurses have the greatest need ofa mobile terminal.
Malmöspanaren - En digital plattform för deltagande förvaltning av Malmö stads cykelvÀgnÀt
In this project we have explored digital tools for service management on the bicycle paths of Malmö. This was done through the participation of citizens in order to attempt to discern how such interactions can be eased using a mobile app, as well as how this app can be designed in order to appear trustworthy with user friendly interactions.
We have explored this field by using goal-oriented design through interviews, prototyping and user tests. We have created a digital prototype as a possible solution for how the interactions can be done.
Throughout the process interviews were held and user tests with selected members of the user group. To explore the concepts we have used paper prototypes in order to establish the design and then defining the interactions with the help of a digital prototype.
Finally we have concluded that a general app for bikers in the city would be functional and that a longer study in the effects of such an app would be interesting as a continuation of this work..
From industrial past to sustainable future : Arboretum Lövholmen; generating trees for a greener future
Old industrial sites bear witness of the unsustainable industrial developments in the past. Today many of them stand abandoned and empty, old structures lacking function in our present society.
We have in this thesis participated in a visionary student competition arranged by IFLA, International Federation of Landscape Architecture by developing a proposal based on a vision of how Stockholm can stimulate a greener development. We have done this by turning an unsustainable industrial site in the city into an ecological node; Arboretum Lövholmen.
Our aim is to develop an entry for IFLA?s visionary student competition by creating a new sustainable design for the industrial area of Lövholmen in Stockholm. We have worked with the following research questions: How can we create a visionary design proposal for Lövholmen that promotes sustainable development with the help of ecological design? How can the competition format be a design tool? How can the working process developing a competition entry progress?
The competition demands have shaped our working process and functioned as a platform for the structure of this thesis.
