That's a great question and one that was missed during the viva.
By necessity, the scope of the PhD had to be limited and 'design representations' were restricted to sketches, drawings, models and prototypes that enable the designer(s) to externalise the entire product or discreet elements. Mood boards tend to be generated at the 'fuzzy front-end' before designing actually commences. As such, they don't represent a design proposal but serve to provide inspiration and direction.

Dear Dr Mark Evans,
Thank you for you post @PhD-design. They PhD work is very interesting and
the results a well formatted onto the http://colab.lboro.ac.uk/ website.
I am a PhD candidate in the Laboratoire de Conception de Produit et
d'innovation (Innovation & New Product Design Laboratory) in a french
engineering design university. I come from a industrial design background
and the laboratory in which I work has a great interest in Industrial
Design.
The colab website has gather a very large number of industrial design
representation types but i didn't manage to find moodboards in this list:
My question is: What doesn't qualify moodboard as a conceptual industrial
design representation?
Best regards
