Stir was a crowd-voted grants platform aimed at supporting creative youth in the early stages of an entrepreneurial journey. Developed through an in-depth, collaborative design process, between 2015 and 2018 it received close to two hundred projects and distributed over fifty grants to emerging creatives and became one of the most impactful programs aimed at increasing entrepreneurial activity in Canberra, Australia. The following case study will provide an overview of the methodology and process used by the design team in conceiving and developing this platform, highlighting how the community’s interests and competencies were embedded in the project itself. The case provides insights for people leading collaborative design processes, with specific emphasis on some of the characteristics on programs targeting creative youth

Existing naval and commercial small-waterplane-area, twin-hull (SWATH) vessels are described along with the reasons for choosing this type of hull configuration. The effects of changes in hull form and proportions on smooth water resistance and motions in rough water are examined. Analytical and experimental techniques presently available for use in the design process are discussed. Simple relationships for use in predicting resistance and seakeeping behavior in early stages of design are presented.

Physical Design (PD) Data tool is designed mainly to help ASIC design engineers in achieving chip design process quality, optimization and performance measures. The tool uses data mining techniques to handle the existing unstructured data repository. It extracts the relevant data and loads it into a well-structured database. Data archive mechanism is enabled that initially creates and then keeps updating an archive repository on a daily basis. The logs information provide to PD tool is a completely unstructured format which parse by regular expression (regex) based data extraction methodology. It converts the input data into the structured tables. This undergoes the data cleansing process before being fed into the operational DB. PD tool also ensures data integrity and data validity. It helps the design engineers to compare, correlate and inter-relate the results of their existing work with the ones done in the past which gives them a clear picture of the progress made and deviations that occurred. Data analysis can be done using various features offered by the tool such as graphical and statistical representation.

Two modular side channel pump models have been investigated both numerically and experimentally. For both modular designs, different side channels and impellers could be studied, with the aim to get information about the influence of the different geometries on the performance and the inner flow phenomena of the pump. By understanding the geometry influences, statements about the design process of the pump are possible. Changes of the geometry of the side channel or the impeller affect the flow in both components. This means that the geometrical dimensions must always be related to each other, in order to make statements about influences of the geometry on the characteristics. Thus, various geometrical configurations are setup, their sizes in industrial pumps are indicated and their influence is investigated by simulations. To evaluate the gained numerical data, it is important to understand the influence of mesh and simulation setup on the results. Therefore, a grid study was conducted and additionally the turbulence model was varied. In this paper, two parameters are focused on: these are the side channel height to the blade length (h/l) and the depth of the side channel in relation to the width of the blade (t/w).

This paper describes the early stages of the design process of a 2-DOF parallel mechanism, based on the use of four-bar linkages and intended to move photovoltaic panels in order to perform sun tracking. Primary importance is given to the search for a way to compensate sun–earth’s relative motions with two decoupled rotations of the panel. This leads to devise a kinematic structure characterized by a particular arrangement of the revolute axes. At the same time, the structure itself is designed in order to be slender. Subsequently, the fact that during a day the earth’s revolution around the sun has negligible effects on the apparent trajectory of the sun, if compared to the rotation around the polar axis, leads to choose a control strategy which, also thanks to the said arrangement of axes, employs only 1-DOF for most of the daytime. The tracker which employs this strategy has, theoretically, an energy consumption similar to that of 1-DOF solar trackers but a precision similar to that of 2-DOF ones.
