Interval field implementations for spatial uncertainty processing in non-deterministic FE analysis
No full textThis paper discusses the application of interval fields for the analysis of uncertain mechanical structures. More specifically, this work illustrates the use of interval fields to represent uncertainties with spatially distributed uncertain parameters in the context of finite element analysis. Four different mathematical interval field implementations are in- troduced and their effcieny and accuracy is compared. Finally, these implementations are illustrated and validated using a static stress analysis of a conical shell structure. © 2013 by Wim Verhaeghe, Wim Desmet, Dirk Vandepitte and David Moens.status: Publishe
Mood Regulation as a Design Topic: Interview with Pieter Desmet
No full textPieter Desmet is the founding co-director of the Delft Institute of Positive Design, chair of the TU Delft Department of Human Centered Design, and Director of the Delft Design Labs. After introducing cognitive emotion theory to the field of design research, he established the Design and Emotion Society. Full professor of Design for Experience at TU Delft, Desmet is also co-editor of Design and Emotion Moves (Cambridge Scholars, 2008) and co-author of Positive Design: An Introduction to Design for Subjective Well-Being (IJDesign, 2013). Pieter Desmet, who holds a PhD in the domain of Emotion Psychology, has been recently awarded a five-year personal grant to research about the nuances of human mood in human-product interactions. Besides his academic activities, he also contributes to local community projects, such as a recently developed sensory wellness neighborhood park, and a cultural ‘House of Happiness’ located in Rotterdam. In this interview, Desmet discusses the background to positive design, as well as the practical and ethical challenges that arise from using such an approach. He also refers to his latest research initiative: Design for Mood Regulation. Finally, Desmet explains how he transfers the knowledge he develops to companies

Modeling of complex moving sound sources using a cut finite element method approach
No full textWhile acoustic analysis with the finite element method is commonly done under the assumption that the source location is stationary, this is not always a valid assumption. This article derives a method to simulate moving sound sources using an unfitted mesh approach, where the source boundary is described by cutting through elements, known as the cut finite element method (cutFEM). By using such an approach the mesh stays static during simulation, even for large source movements, thus avoiding expensive re-meshing or mesh morphing steps. To be able to describe a wide variety of acoustic sources, both sources with a large and thin thickness are considered. Several time integration schemes are assessed and a method to determine the stability of the resulting time-varying system of equations is derived. The article concludes by demonstrating the derived methods with two examples, where it is shown that the unfitted mesh approach is a viable way to simulate moving sources
