To meet the varied needs and desires of customers, the selection of materials for industrially manufactured products requires careful balancing of functional and expressive material requirements. However, the majority of material selection advice and resources continues to be oriented to functional and technical considerations. This paper provides a review and comparison of recently assembled research into user-centred materials selection, which seeks not only to bolster industrial designers' expertise in the area of expressively driven materials decisions but also to find a more confident place alongside utilitarian decisions. Five principal themes are identified from a collection of journal articles invited by the author for inclusion in a special file on materials and industrial design education: (1) development of a sensorial-expressive language of materials; (2) generation of materials knowledge via samples and product exemplars; (3) consideration of materials as a user interface; (4) awareness of contextual considerations; and (5) availability of new material selection tools. The intention is to inform design educators about how to shift materials teaching from a predominantly technical subject to one that has product experience at its core.

Reconfigurability of behavioural specifications for manufacturing systems Schmidt, Klaus Verner (Informa UK Limited, 2017-01-01) Reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMS) support flexibility in the product variety and the configuration of the manufacturing system itself in order to enable quick adjustments to new products and production requirements. As a consequence, an essential feature of RMS is their ability to rapidly modify the control strategy during run-time. In this paper, the particular problem of changing the specified operation of a RMS, whose logical behaviour is modelled as a finite state automaton, is addressed. The n...
A New production methodology for vacuum infusion process of advanced composite structures Poorzeinolabedin, Mohsen; Parnas, Kemal Levend; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2017) Vacuum Infusion Process (VIP) is one of the Liquid Composite Molding (LCM) methods which are widely used in out-of-autoclave processes especially for the manufacturing of large scale composite parts in aerospace, automotive, wind energy and marine industries. In order to simulate the infusion process, the permeability of preforms is an essential parameter. Absence of any standard is a challenge for the determination of in-plane permeabilities of a preform. The first objective of this study is to develop an ...
Development of a new hesitant fuzzy ranking model for NTMP ranking problem ATALAY, KUMRU DİDEM; İÇ, YUSUF TANSEL; KEÇECİ, BARIŞ; YURDAKUL, MUSTAFA; Boran, Melis (2021-10-01) Nontraditional manufacturing processes (NTMPs) bring the processing capabilities such as machining high strength and hard materials with desired accuracies and surface finish to the manufacturing companies. Therefore, there has been a significant increase in the use and number of NTMPs. Hence, choosing a particular NTMP for a specific application turns out to be a complex decision-making problem, which involves conflicting qualitative and quantitative ranking criteria. In recent NTMP ranking literature, it ...
Development of High Fracture Toughness Hard Coatings Kaygusuz, Burçin; Özerinç, Sezer; Kazmanlı, Muhammet Kürşat; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2021-9-2) Improving the machining performance of cutting tools is critical for increasing product quality and decreasing production cost and time. For this purpose, hard coatings on cutting tools are widely utilized in the industry. These hard coatings increase the lifetime of cutting tools by improving their wear resistance and allow higher cutting speeds. One of the primary drawbacks of these hard coatings is their brittle nature, which occasionally results in premature failure. This thesis investigated a solution ...
Characterization of novel materials for fused filament fabrication AL-DUAIS, ABDULLAH ABDULRAHMAN NAJI; Özerinç, Sezer; Kazanç Özerinç, Feyza; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2021-6-24) Fused filament fabrication (FFF) is a polymer additive manufacturing technology that is suitable for a wide range of applications due to its low cost and ease of use. This thesis investigated two types of novel materials for FFF use. First, a foaming PLA filament is considered and the mechanical properties of 3D printed specimens using this filament is characterized. The results show that the strength, modulus and density of the foaming PLA can be tuned over a wide range of values by varying FFF process par...
