However, it is a well-known fact that most of them do not ride as well as conventional big wheel bicycles, and the ride is often described as 'twitchy', 'wobbly' and 'less stable'. A considerable number of casualties involve single-vehicle accidents which can be correlated to their dynamic stability performance. This paper relates the vehicle frame design with safety performance. By using a well-defined mathematical model, the dynamic stability of different personal mobility devices was compared. The research confirms the lesser stability in existing small wheel electric scooters and bicycles. However, the investigation has also found that the reason is not so much the size of the wheel, but the inadequacy of current design practice to properly account for the complex influence of wheel size on stability. Finally, a case study has been presented to illustrate that current designs of small wheel PMDs can be improved for better stability and safety.","PeriodicalId":306645,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sustainable Design","volume":"189 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132650082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, in order to adapt to modern use, optimise and improve the traffic system and parking configuration of historic district based on goal of preservation and development may after all be accepted as a kind of alternative approach. There are many evidences shows that an appropriate optimisation on traffic system and parking configuration can enhance the connectivity and pedestrian-friendly environment, improve district dynamism, make tourists more satisfied, increase commercial activities and rental return. In addition, through the case study and analysis of Zhangzhou ancient city historic district, the paper finds that the positive elements of parking configuration factors are also reflected in a promotion of car owners' commercial activities and diverse consume content. The result plays a positive role in further understanding the optimisation of parking configuration enhance dynamism of historic district.","PeriodicalId":306645,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sustainable Design","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116244376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Auxetics have become of interest in engineering, whenever a support instead of a pronounced flexure, of a cellular, therefore lightweight material, is desirable. Structures have been calculated and modelled as chiral with defined geometrical parameters and then applied to concepts with the fabrication of real models using neoprene or generally rubbery material. Indications on the possible sensations of the user are suggested, which provided rationale for likely improved comfort and/or desirability of contact. Limitations of this study in terms of material experience appear the use of a single material as for auxetic properties and the focusing on one single possible auxetic structure, the chiral one. Despite this, this could be considered as a starting point for a possible database of material experience on the use of auxetics. From these considerations, it appears as the use of auxetic structures would lead to a more sustainable scenario for these objects, especially because improved user's experience would extend their duration of life and lead to a lower rate of discarded pieces.","PeriodicalId":306645,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sustainable Design","volume":"47 9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132481367","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ERM has been integrated into a product design for sustainability project as part of the design education in the Department of Industrial Design at Middle East Technical University. This paper begins by providing an overview of the generative research approach, explaining its significance and implications for the design process. This will be followed by a presentation of the My Sustainable Mini Oven project, explaining the main design considerations (i.e., engaging design solutions, product maintenance and repair, and effective use of resources). Concurrently, it will present the tools and techniques involved in the ERM method (i.e., interviewing, three-dimensional modelling, and video recording and analysis techniques), its phases (i.e., preparation, session and analysis) and its implications for the development of sustainable design solutions. Finally, conclusions will be drawn and insights will be made into the further development of the ERM method.","PeriodicalId":306645,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Sustainable Design","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115126238","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
