Optimizing Design for Repairability: A Game Theoretic Approach for Incorporating Market Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This article investigates the design decision facing original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in determining the optimal degree of repairability by considering market dynamics. The article develops a game-theoretic model ...
State of Health Estimation of Electric Vehicle Batteries Using Transformer-Based Neural Network
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Electric vehicles (EVs) are considered an environmentally friendly option compared to conventional vehicles. As the most critical module in EVs, batteries are complex electrochemical components with nonlinear behavior. ...
Environmental Evaluation of Product Design Alternatives: The Role of Consumer's Repair Behavior and Deterioration of Critical Components
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Consumers might be willing to repair their broken devices as long as the associated repair costs do not exceed an undesirable threshold. However, in many cases, the technological obsolescence actuates consumers to retire ...
Automatic Screw Detection and Tool Recommendation System for Robotic Disassembly
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Disassembly is an essential process for the recovery of end-of-life (EOL) electronics in remanufacturing sites. Nevertheless, the process remains labor-intensive due to EOL electronics’ high degree of uncertainty and ...
State-of-Health Estimation for Sustainable Electric Vehicle Batteries Using Temporal-Enhanced Self-Attention Graph Neural Networks
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Electric vehicles (EVs) have emerged as an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional fuel vehicles. Lithium-ion batteries are the major energy source for EVs, but they degrade under dynamic operating conditions. ...
Agent Based Simulation Optimization of Waste Electrical and Electronics Equipment Recovery
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The profitability of electronic waste (e-waste) recovery operations is quite challenging due to various sources of uncertainties in the quantity, quality, and timing of returns originating from consumers' behavior. The ...
Simulation Modeling of Consumers' Participation in Product Take Back Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: As electronic waste (ewaste) becomes one of the fastest growing environmental concerns, remanufacturing may be a promising solution. However, the profitability of takeback systems is hampered by several factors, including ...
Uncertainty Management in Remanufacturing Decisions: A Consideration of Uncertainties in Market Demand, Quantity, and Quality of Returns
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: As market demand for remanufactured products increases and environmental legislation puts further enforcement on original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), remanufacturing is becoming an important business. However, profitability ...
A Graph Partitioning Technique to Optimize the Physical Integration of Functional Requirements for Axiomatic Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: According to the concept of physical integration as understood in axiomatic design, design parameters of a product should be integrated into a single physical part or a few parts with the aim of reducing the information ...
Optimization-Based Disassembly Sequence Planning Under Uncertainty for Human–Robot Collaboration
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Disassembly is an essential step for remanufacturing end-of-life (EOL) products. Optimization of disassembly sequences and the utilization of robotic technology could alleviate the labor-intensive nature of dismantling ...
