9624787 Bras This NSF Career Award provides support for research on how to enhance the integrated design of products and de- and remanufacture processes. Demanufacture is defined as the entire process opposite to manufacture involved in recycling, reuse, incineration and/or disposal of products after they have been taken back by one or more companies. The specific objectives of the work are to establish (1) the operational parameters and models for an extended set of commercial and prototypical plastic-metal chemical and mechanical product de- and remanufacturing processes, (2) computer-based tools for integrated product and process design of plastic-metal products with associated appropriate high performance and robust de- and remanufacture processes, and (3) the efficient and effective integration of such new technologies in engineering education. These objectives will be achieved by (1) classifying the technical, economical and ecological performance of appropriate de- and remanfacture processes, (2) developing models for de- and remanufacturability performance and robustness assessments, (3) developing tools for de- and remanufacturability process selection and synthesis, (4) integrating this process selection and synthesis with product design and synthesis models, and (5) enhancing the education and learning about new technologies in general and de- and remanufacture in particular through the development and assessment of new courseware and educational facilities. Educational focal points are to (a) increase learning through doing by creating a facility where students can demanufacture real systems, (b) increase the outreach to practicing engineers (and others) by creating self-study (multi-media) courseware on product and process design for de- and remanufacture, and (c) increase the diversity of students and encourage holistic thinking by creating an international course on Environmentally Conscious Design. A primary issue is assessing the effectiveness of the learning that takes place by the students. A secondary issue is the efficiency of the delivery of the educational material. This award will provide advances in the field of recycling durable goods, like automobiles. It will help to increase the US competitiveness with respect to designing products and cost-effective recycling processes that will meet current and pending product take-back legislation in Europe. The research will contribute to new technologies for pursing recyclability, reusability, and other means of environmentally benign product disposal. Other tangible outcomes will be computer-based tools that will provide decision support and enable designers to explore different recycling process scenarios in conjunction with the product design.

9624787布拉斯 该NSF职业奖为研究如何增强产品的集成设计以及去制造和再制造过程提供支持。 Demanufacture的定义是与制造相反的整个过程，涉及产品被一家或多家公司收回后的回收、再利用、焚烧和/或处置。 工作的具体目标是：（1）建立一套扩展的商业和原型塑料-金属化学和机械产品去制造和再制造过程的操作参数和模型，（2）基于计算机的工具，用于塑料-金属产品的集成产品和过程设计，并具有相关的高性能和稳健的去制造和再制造过程，以及（3）这些新技术在工程教育中的有效整合。 这些目标将通过以下方式实现：（1）对适当的拆卸和再制造过程的技术、经济和生态性能进行分类，（2）开发拆卸和再制造性能和鲁棒性评估模型，（3）开发拆卸和再制造过程选择和综合工具，（4）将该过程选择和综合与产品设计和综合模型相结合，以及（5）通过开发和评估新的课件和教育设施，加强对新技术的教育和学习，特别是去制造和再制造。 教育的重点是（a）通过创建一个学生可以拆解真实的系统的设施，增加通过实践学习，（B）增加对实践工程师的推广（和其他人）通过创建自学（多媒体）课件的产品和工艺设计的拆卸和再制造，以及（c）通过开设一门关于环境意识设计的国际课程，增加学生的多样性，鼓励整体思维。 一个主要问题是评估学生学习的有效性。 第二个问题是提供教材的效率。 该奖项将提供在回收耐用品，如汽车领域的进步。 这将有助于提高美国在设计产品和具有成本效益的回收过程方面的竞争力，以满足欧洲目前和即将实施的产品回收立法。 这项研究将有助于追求可回收性，可重复使用性和其他环保产品处理方式的新技术。 其他有形成果将是基于计算机的工具，这些工具将提供决策支持，并使设计师能够结合产品设计探索不同的回收过程场景。
