This study focuses on the role of Systems Design in addressing the challenges of healthcare provision by international emergency relief organizations in developing countries. More specifically the challenges related to the safety and performance of medical equipment that is transferred in the aftermath of a humanitarian crisis. The aim of this paper is to describe the transfer of medical equipment and its associated challenges from a systems perspective and to reflect on the value of Systems Design as an approach to humanitarian innovation, addressing the identified systemic challenges. The concepts of Human Factors and Ergonomics, and Product-Service Systems will be presented as valuable contributions to support designers in handling a larger degree of complexity throughout the design process and to support them to make informed choices regarding this particular context.

The process of converting a behavioral specification of an application to its equivalent system architecture is referred to as High Level-Synthesis (HLS). A crucial stage in embedded systems design involves finding the trade off between resource utilization and performance. An exhaustive search would yield the required results, but would take a huge amount of time to arrive at the solution even for smaller designs. This would result in a high time complexity. We employ the use of Design Space Exploration (DSE) in order to reduce the complexity of the design space and to reach the desired results in less time. In reality, there are multiple constraints defined by the user that need to be satisfied simultaneously. Thus, the nature of the task at hand is referred to as Multi-Objective Optimization. In this thesis, the design process of DSP benchmarks was analyzed based on user defined constraints such as power and execution time. The analyzed outcome was compared with the existing approaches in DSE and an optimal design solution was derived in a shorter time period.

Threaded and Coupled (T&C) riser connectors with High Strength Steels have been developed for deepwater top tensioned riser (TTR) applications up to 10,000ft Water Depth. These developments have been ongoing for a decade, and the resulting solutions are now becoming the standard in the industry. Due to the stringent fatigue requirements involved, new design and performance evaluation methods were needed and have been built over time. In this article, we will demonstrate how these methods were implemented into the standard development process of T&C connectors, with a focus on finite element analysis (FEA) techniques. This process includes full scale tests programs on resonant fatigue frames, statistical post treatment of the resulting data, and fatigue cracks expertise for failure mechanism analysis. These elements are a key for the evaluation of T&C connectors’ fatigue performance and for the determination of influencing parameters, leading to the proper design optimization possibilities. The application of these methods will be illustrated with actual examples on T&C connectors’ recent developments. Namely, we will describe FEA methodologies, testing methods and results post-treatment techniques. We will show how the connectors’ performance is eventually derived after such analysis and test data accumulation. The reader will see that innovative and effective fatigue enhancement techniques have resulted, along with premium fatigue compliant sealing devices. The experience and expertise gained, together with a continuous improvement process of our methods have made T&C riser connectors a viable solution to meet emerging needs within deepwater industry, including xHP-HT, SCR and flow lines.
