Knowledge Base Repository

In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
A parametric movement synthesis approach is introduced, which allows the adaptation of a synthesized movement to a specific use case by varying geometrical parameters. This parametric movement synthesis empowers the product developer to optimize products purely virtually in terms of ergonomics and (dis-)comfort by using musculoskeletal simulation. We developed such a parametric model for a lifting movement to analyse several scenarios. The results of the analyses show to what extent this procedure may support the product developer to improve the man-machine interaction of products.
