Abstract: Products evolve over time to satisfy new customer needs, technologies, and markets. The evolution process of products necessarily involves changes in a product structure that might be characterized by inherent evolving ...

Abstract: Design for remanufacturing (DfRem) is one attractive strategy that encourages the reuse of a product and extends the product's life cycle. Traditional design processes often only consider product reliability at an early ...

Abstract: Interest in assessing the sustainability performance of manufacturing processes and systems during product design is increasing. Prior work has investigated approaches for quantifying and reducing impacts across the product ...

Abstract: Origami structures, which were inspired by traditional paper folding arts, have been applied for engineering problems for the last two decades. Origami-based thin-wall tubes have been extensively investigated under axial ...

Abstract: Abstract. Impacts of natural hazards on supply chains can be devastating, especially given the increase in their frequency and intensity. For larger and geographically dispersed supply chains, it is critical to monitor ...

Abstract: Standard life cycle techniques such as life cycle warranty cost (LCWC) analysis and life cycle analysis (LCA) are used to respectively quantify the relative economical and environmental advantages of remanufactured goods ...

Abstract: Abstract. The global pandemic has exposed deficiencies in supply chains in rapidly responding to urgent medical needs and demonstrated the challenge of promptly acquiring medical supplies during emergencies. Even under ...
