    Research on Ergonomics and Functional Aspects of Health Equipment With a Case Study Including Material and Production
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 1999) Özkaban, Memed Umut; Seçkin, Yavuz
    This thesis claims that ergonomics and function plays the most important role in the design of health equipments. Every detail is designed according to both ergonomic values of human anthropometry and object's function, of which are the major parts of individual expectations from the object.As a designed object after a case study, the general purpose hospital bed is a product derived from the dimensional limitations of human body. In the design progress, the spine, pressure points in laying position, have been analised, the functions that a general purpose hospital bed should bring, have been discussed. Also the target market, customer and user differences, are examined.This analysis have led to a conclusion of a hospital bed as a designed product for a target customer.Keywords: Ergonomics, Human-machine Interface, Bed, General Purpose Hospital Bed, Spine, Back, Pressure Points, Matress, Function.

    Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering Concepts in Industrial Product Design With a Case Study of Cell Phone
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2006) Dülger, Ufuk; Seçkin, Yavuz
    Industrial product design, as a field of design discipline, borrows concepts and methods from other disciplines, one of which is engineering, in order to develop its own knowledge in research and industry contexts. In the means of strengthening its place among other disciplines, a concentration on .designerly. ways of knowing, thinking and acting should be provided. Therefore, in this study, the intersection between industrial product design field and engineering discipline is searched for revealing the engineering concepts and non-intuitive design methods within intuitive design methods used in industrial product design. Engineering design field is stated, since its being close to industrial product design, and a comparison is made between industrial product design and some engineering fields through their approach to design problems and the tools they use. Engineering design methods are stated and their advantages in design activity are revealed. This study is a part of design systems area, with formal approaches to models of design processes and knowledge. Finally, a case study of cell phones is carried out in order to prove the design approaches and the priorities of electronic and telecommunication engineering and industrial product design on a product.
