Integrating sustainable manufacturing assessment into decision making for a production work cell

Creator:: Zhang, Hao
Abstract:: Sustainability has been the focus of intense discussions over the past two decades, with topics around the entire product life cycle. In the manufacturing phase, research has been focused solely on environmental impact assessment or environmental impact and cost analysis in its assessment of sustainability. However, few efforts have investigated...

A Techno-Economic Assessment Methodology for Advanced Additive and Joining Processes

Creator:: Malshe, Harsha A.
Abstract:: Integrated manufacturing systems, a combination of subtractive, additive, and joining processes, provide a competitive advantage for manufacturing organizations. As product designs become more complex and capital more scarce, an ideal combination of advanced manufacturing technologies (e.g., powder bed fusion or friction welding), in tandem with traditional subtractive manufacturing systems, can...

Characterization of Two Novel Machining Processes for Difficult to Machine Materials

Creator:: Doran, Michael P.
Abstract:: New materials with superior mechanical properties, such as increased strength and hardness, have been developed to allow for new and improved products. However, the mechanical properties that make these materials useful also makes them difficult to process using conventional methods. New machining processes need to be developed to generate products...

Enabling Feasibility Assessment of Solar Thermal Energy Systems for Industrial Process Heating Applications

Creator:: Karki, Saroj
Abstract:: Existing studies on industrial heat demand have shown that more than 50% of the industrial process heat demand is in the range of low (<60 °C), medium (60-150 °C), and medium-high (<250 °C) temperatures. Most of the manufacturing industries across the world depend on combustion of carbon-based fossil fuels, either...

Process Information Modeling for Characterizing Sustainability Performance of Cyclic Manufacturing Processes

Creator:: Manoharan, Sriram
Abstract:: Sustainability has become an unprecedented priority in global manufacturing due to the growing concerns over issues such as an aging workforce, environmental degradation, and public health. The simultaneous consideration of the economic, environmental, and social aspects – often referred to as the “three pillars of sustainability” – is crucial to...

Assisting decision making in component design for sustainable manufacturing

Creator:: Eastlick, Dane D.
Abstract:: Current life cycle assessment tools are often deficient in assisting design for sustainable manufacturing efforts. Integrating an improved assessment method into a decision support framework will provide a means for designers and engineers to better understand the impacts of their decisions. A unit process modeling-based sustainability assessment method is presented...

Investigation of the environmental impact of wind energy and supplemental energy systems using a life cycle approach

Creator:: Prempreeda, Preedanood
Abstract:: Wind energy is a promising alternative energy source due to its environmental, economic, and social benefits and, as such, has garnered public support and government incentives for its development and implementation. With the growing number of wind parks in Oregon, a life cycle assessment (LCA) study for a representative new...

A Unit Manufacturing Process Characterization Methodology and Supporting Terminology for Sustainable Manufacturing Assessment

Creator:: Garretson, Ian C.
Abstract:: Manufacturing industry drives economic activity and growth around the world, but manufacturing activities consume large amounts of material, energy, and labor resources. Therefore, the impacts of manufacturing need to be accounted for and reduced. Direct benefits of manufacturing are products and income, which, in turn, influence the lives of people...

A supply chain model for optimizing fixed and mobile bio-oil refineries on a regional scale

Creator:: Mirzaie, Pantea
Abstract:: The use of fossil fuels and their related impact on the environment and global warming have encouraged societies to pursue more sustainable and renewable alternatives, e.g., forest-based bio-oil. Thus, a vital need to decrease the level of greenhouse gas emissions and the tendency of nations to reduce their dependency on...

Assisting Sustainability Analysis of Forest Bioenergy Supply Chains using Mathematical Optimization

Creator:: Sadeghi, Javad
Abstract:: Changes in the global climate and forest management practices have given rise to increasing numbers and severity of wildfires. More than five million acres burned in the United States in 2017, while in Canada 7.4 million acres burned. In particular, an increasing amount of dead woody biomass is a key...
