RISA Design Method to Improve End-of-Use Product Value Recovery for Circular Economy
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Circular economy (CE) is being increasingly accepted as a promising sustainable business model, supporting waste minimization through product life cycles. The product end-of-use (EOU) stage is the key to circulate materials ...
Scheduling of a Single Flow Shop for Minimal Energy Cost Under Real-Time Electricity Pricing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A time-indexed integer programing approach is developed to optimize the manufacturing schedule of a factory for minimal energy cost under real-time pricing (RTP) of electricity. The approach is demonstrated using a flow ...
Genetic Optimization for the Design of a Machine Tool Slide Table for Reduced Energy Consumption
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Reducing the energy consumption of machine tools is important from a sustainable manufacturing perspective. Much of a machine tool’s environmental impact comes from the energy it consumes during its use phase. To move ...
Comparative Life Cycle Assessment of Injection Molded and Big Area Additive Manufactured NdFeB Bonded Permanent Magnets
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Permanent magnets are expected to play a crucial role in the realization of the clean economy. In particular, the neodymium–iron–boron (Nd2Fe14B or NdFeB) magnets, which have the highest energy density among rare earth ...
A Data-Driven Model for Energy Consumption in the Sintering Process
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: As environmental performance becomes increasingly important, the sintering process is receiving more attention since it consumes large amounts of energy. This paper proposes a data-driven model for sintering energy ...
Industrial Sustainability: Reviewing the Past and Envisioning the Future
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Society's consumption of natural resources and the impact of industrial activities on the environment have gained increasing attention over the last several decades. This paper provides a historical perspective on the ...
Prioritizing Design for Environment Strategies Using a Stochastic Analytic Hierarchy Process
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper describes a framework for applying design for environment (DfE) within an industry setting. Our aim is to couple implicit design knowledge such as redesign/process constraints with quantitative measures of ...
Mutually Coordinated Visualization of Product and Supply Chain Metadata for Sustainable Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, we present a novel visualization framework for product and supply chain metadata in the context of redesignrelated decision scenarios. Our framework is based on the idea of overlaying productrelated metadata ...
Determination of Shape and Distribution of Abrasive Grains to Reduce Carbon Emissions of Honing Process
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Due to the increasing concern on environmental sustainability, many efforts have been made to improve the energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions of manufacturing processes, including abrasive machining processes. ...
Variations of Energy Demand With Process Parameters in Cylindrical Drawing of Stainless Steel
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Studies have indicated that reducing the process energy demand is as important as improving the energy conversion efficiency to make manufacturing equipment more energy efficient. However, little work has been done to ...
