  • Thinking about materiality: the value of a construction management and Engineering View*
    Construction Management and Economics, 2017
    Co-Authors: Alexander Styre
    Abstract:

    AbstractThe increased interest for materiality as an analytical category in the social sciences provide construction management and economics scholar with new possibilities to better exploit the detailed empirical data being collected in the construction industry and related fields. While constructivist and other idealist theories have tended to dominate the social sciences since at least the mid-sixties when the social sciences sought to release itself from the methodological dogmatism of the “hard sciences”, materiality is now recognized and subject to theorizing within different social science traditions. This article advocates a broad engagement with materiality within construction management research and presents a series of analytical concepts and empirical studies that stress how the built environment that human beings inhabit is far from passive, inert and stable as common sense thinking easily misleads analysts to believe. An image of materiality that recognizes an agential, dynamic and more flui...

This article advocates a broad engagement with materiality within construction management research and presents a series of analytical concepts and empirical studies that stress how the built environment that human beings inhabit is far from passive, inert and stable as common sense thinking easily misleads analysts to believe. An image of materiality that recognizes an agential, dynamic and more fluid nature of materiality is thus arguably conducive to an intellectually stimulating construction management scholarship.

  • Simulation analysis of mimosa pudica main pulvinus towards biological tactile sensing modelling
    'Elsevier BV', 2015
    Co-Authors: Basir, Siti Nora, Yussof Hanafiah, Zahari, Nur Ismarrubie
    Abstract:

    This paper present simulation result on Mimosa Pudica main pulvinus towards exploration of potential of Mimosa Pudica plant as new biological sensing mechanism in tactile sensor and actuator. Previous study revealed that the movement of Mimosa Pudica leaf is due to the change of pressure between the upper and lower motor organ of main pulvinus. It symbolizes the unique examples in nature where Engineering and botanical field can work together. From an Engineering View, the turgidity changes capable of reversible shape changes, thus bringing the idea of sensing and actuating concept of a new tactile sensor. The idea is to fusion the artificial cell of Mimosa Pudica as the sensing mechanism for the new bio-inspired sensor. In this study, the movement of the main pulvinus has been modeled using Finite Element Method and the stress of three different diameter size has been obtained. The results show that different diameter size of the main pulvinus give almost the same impact on the stress obtains on the structure. In term of stress distribution, the diameter of main pulvinus is not a crucial part on this plant movement mechanism
