Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic growth and rising levels of consumption in developing and developed countries has been observed as being deeply coupled with natural resource usage and material consumption. The increasing need for natural resources has raised concerns regarding issues such as resource scarcity, undesirable environmental impacts due to material extraction, primary production, and suboptimal product disposal, and social or political tensions. Product End-of-Life (EoL) options, such as reusing or recycling, attempt to limit or reduce the amount of waste sent to a landfill, providing strategic means to decouple the link between economic growth and resource usage. These EoL options have the potential to close material loops, further utilizing wastes as resources, reducing environmental impacts, conserving natural resources, reducing material prices, and providing job opportunities in developing countries. Remanufacturing, on the other hand, is a unique EoL option due to increasing the number of life cycles of a product before final disposal. First, recurring environmental benefits, such as emission and raw material extraction avoidance are obtained with each additional product life cycle. Second, individual resource efficiency yields increase through product remanufacture. Resource efficiency or, using more with less will continue to compound with each additional life cycle. Third, recirculating products decreases the demand and dependency for primary resource production, further closing the material loop and creating a more circular economy. In addition, remanufacturing can initiate more preferable EoL options such as recovery, recycling, and waste reduction. While remanufacturing offers numerous benefits, there is significant lack of literature and books covering the fundamentals of operations, technologies and business models. The proposed book will provide in-depth coverage of remanufacturing fundamentals and its strong link to circular economy and resource efficiency.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recycling is one of the popular ways to ensure that the product is environmental friendly. There are several value recovery processes, including cannibalization and remanufacturing. However, the design of most products does not favor the recovery of added value. Product designed for optimal marketing and ease of manufacturing are not necessarily good candidates for a recovery scheme. Design measure such as recyclability, disassemblability, and reusability are defined and used as the basic of the product recovery time. This project proposed a framework for design method that adopts the environmental - friendly philosophy via the concept of reuse, recycle and remanufacture. The bicycle is adopted as a case study. The expected output is the design method that considers 3R philosophy.

This book was released on 2021-12-20 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides in-depth results and case studies in innovation from actual work undertaken in collaboration with industry partners in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC). Scientific advances and innovative technologies in the sector are key to shaping the changes emerging as a result of Industry 4.0. Mainstream Building Information Management (BIM) is seen as a vehicle for addressing issues such as industry fragmentation, value-driven solutions, decision-making, client engagement, and design/process flow; however, advanced simulation, computer vision, Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, machine learning, deep learning, and linked data all provide immense opportunities for dealing with these challenges and can provide evidenced-based innovative solutions not seen before. These technologies are perceived as the “true” enablers of future practice, but only recently has the AEC sector recognised terms such as “golden key” and “golden thread” as part of BIM processes and workflows. This book builds on the success of a number of initiatives and projects by the authors, which include seminal findings from the literature, research and development, and practice-based solutions produced for industry. It presents these findings through real projects and case studies developed by the authors and reports on how these technologies made a real-world impact. The chapters and cases in the book are developed around these overarching themes: • BIM and AEC Design and Optimisation: Application of Artificial Intelligence in Design • BIM and XR as Advanced Visualisation and Simulation Tools • Design Informatics and Advancements in BIM Authoring • Green Building Assessment: Emerging Design Support Tools • Computer Vision and Image Processing for Expediting Project Management and Operations • Blockchain, Big Data, and IoT for Facilitated Project Management • BIM Strategies and Leveraged Solutions This book is a timely and relevant synthesis of a number of cogent subjects underpinning the paradigm shift needed for the AEC industry and is essential reading for all involved in the sector. It is particularly suited for use in Masters-level programs in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concepts of environmentally friendly manufacturing and ecological reuse of materials have resulted in an increase in the number of disposed products that are disassembled. Moreover, the imposition of EPA regulations is forcing companies to invest in methods for protecting the environrnent. The first strategy in this vein is material recycling. The issue of recycling became important because of the limited landfill space, diminishing natural resources, environmental pollution due to dumping of products containing hazardous materials. Likewise, it is projected that the cost of extracting materials from natural resources is going to be much more expensive when compared to reclaiming materials from disposed products. The above issues bring to light a new concept called demanufacturing. Demanufactuing includes product disassembly, part reuse and remanufacturing and material recycling. Originally the presence of precious metals in the products made companies to opt for recycling, but the present industry feels that it is possible to have demanufactruing for all product types. In order to recycle or reuse the product one has to perform the operation of disassembly to see what components can be reused and which can be sent for either recycling or disposal. In addition, one has to check the components that are going to disposal for their hazardous nature. Hence the concept of disassembly is very important when recycling is the opted choice. Today, industries are trying to implement disassembly lines at their sites similar to that of assembly lines. Before disassembling, one has to consider the cost of disassembly as there is no definite science or technology available when compared to that of assembly. So the issue of cost of disassembly is making the industry develop some tools which help them quantify the operation of disassembly. Keeping the above issues in concern, this research focuses on developing the theory related to disassembly processes similar to that of assembly processes. The different disassembly processes that are dealt with in this research are Adhesive separation, Chemical dissolution, Cutting, Crushing, Shearing, Shredding and Smelting. These processes are similar to the conventional processes used in the manufacturing industry though the difference lies in the manner the product is handled and the tools required for disassembly in demanufacturing industry. All the above processes are based on some metrics, which will help in evaluating or calculating the disassembly effort. The different metrics that are used in effort estimation are time of disassembly, tools required for disassembly, force (machine/human), accessibility, fixture, any instructions necessary before starting disassembly and risk factor involved with getting hurt (hazard) while the disassembly operation is being performed. The other contribution of the research consists of the development of a generic software tool, which would help to deal with strategic points of focus and also the termination of disassembly operation to maximize revenue.
