Sustainable Manufacturing and Design (Woodhead Publishing Reviews: Mechanical Engineering Series)

Sustainable Manufacturing and Design draws together research and practices from a wide range of disciplines to help engineers design more environmentally sustainable products. Sustainable manufacturing requires that the entire manufacturing enterprise adopts sustainability goals at a system-level in decision-making, hence the scope of this book covers a wide range of viewpoints in response. Advice on recyclability, zero landfill design, sustainable quality systems, and product take-back issues make this a highly usable guide to the challenges facing engineering designers today. Contributions from around the globe are included, helping to form an international view of an issue that requires a global response. Addresses methods to reduce energy and material waste through manufacturing design Helps to troubleshoot manufacturability problems that can arise in sustainable design Includes coverage of the legislative, cultural and social impacts of sustainable manufacturing, promoting a holistic view of the subject Front Matter Copyright Contributors About the editors Preface Current tools and methodology for a sustainable product life cycle and design Introduction Tools for sustainable product design Eco-design tools P-SPD tools SPD tools Methodology considering multi-life cycle approach for closed loop material flow in SPD Price-sensitive dynamic demand model Quantities of returns and EOL component recovery strategies Optimizing the objective functions Future research and scope Conclusion References Additive manufacturing for a dematerialized economy Introduction Welcome to 2040 Background Continuous products Additive manufacturing personalized products Additive manufacturing adaptable products Additive manufacturing for a dematerialized economy Distributed manufacturing 2040 Key turning points 2030 Starting points 2020 Transition research Conclusion References Sustainable friction stir welding of metals Introduction Materials and experimental work Tensile test Flexural test Impact test Theoretical considerations of energy supplied Results and discussion Conclusions References Heat pipe-embedded tooling for sustainable manufacturing Introduction Metal cutting practices Dry machining Minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) Heat pipe-embedded cutting tools Conclusion References Sustainable manufacturing of plastic packaging material: An innovative approach Introduction Flexible packaging Rigid plastics packing Literature review Experimental works and lab tests Results and discussions Conclusion References Performance of microwave-irradiated WC-Co insert during dry machining of Inconel 718 superalloys Research background Microwave treatment Material and methods Results and discussion Conclusions References Experimental study on friction stir welding of AA6061 aluminum alloy Introduction Literature review Materials and methods Results and discussions Conclusions References Machinability study of Inconel 825 superalloy under nanofluid MQL: Application of sunflower oil as a base ...
