Abstract:
Abstract The scope of this work focuses on the aspects of quality and safety assurance of the iron cast manufacturing processes. Special attention was given to the processes of quality control and after-machining of iron casts manufactured on automatic foundry lines. Due to low level of automation and huge work intensity at this stage of the process, a model area was established which underwent reorganization in accordance with the assumptions of the World Class Manufacturing (WCM). An analysis of work intensity was carried out and the costs were divided in order to identify operations with no value added, particularly at individual manufacturing departments. Also an analysis of ergonomics at work stations was carried out to eliminate activities that are uncomfortable and dangerous to the workers' health. Several solutions were proposed in terms of rationalization of work organization at iron cast after-machining work stations. The proposed solutions were assessed with the use of multi-criteria assessment tools and then the best variant was selected based on the assumed optimization criteria. The summary of the obtained results reflects benefits from implementation of the proposed solutions.

Abstract:
In recent years, manufacturing technologies have been progressing with the high demands of industry. In the automobile and aircraft industries, for example, the manufacturing processes have been requiring for technologies that allow for high machining rates of lightweight and/or difficult-to-cut materials. Medical device production includes the machining of biocompatible materials that have high mechanical strength. Information devices require high quality in ultra-precision manufacturing processes. Measurement and characterization technologies in manufacturing have also been essential in the progress. Along with evolution of manufacturing technologies, scientific studies have been done on manufacturing phenomena and the control of processes, based on physical and/or mathematical aspects. This special issue is promoted by the International Conference on Leading Edge Manufacturing/Materials & Processing (LEM&P2020), which was canceled to protect the health and wellness of our community from COVID-19, and by the Research Committee of Cutting Technologies in the Japan Society for Precision Engineering. This special issue includes 17 papers that detail progress and innovations in the following areas: - Characterization of materials - Fundamental study and modeling of material removal process - Manufacturing control and optimization - Manufacturing processes for new/hard materials - Micro-/Nano-scale manufacturing - Tool manufacturing and performance - Metrology and evaluation - Surface characterization This special issue also includes not only technical but also scientific discussions, suggesting new key technologies for future manufacturing.

Abstract:
In this study, the authors present a comparative analysis of different additive manufacturing (AM) technologies for high-performance components. Four 3D printers, currently available on the Italian national manufacturing market and belonging to three different AM technologies, were considered. The analysis focused on technical aspects to highlight the characteristics and performance limits of each technology, economic aspects to allow for an assessment of the costs associated with the different processes, and environmental aspects to focus on the impact of the production cycles associated with these technologies on the ecosystem, resources and human health. This study highlighted the current limits of additive manufacturing technologies in terms of production capacity in the case of large-scale production of plastic components, especially large ones. At the same time, this study highlights how the geometry of the object to be developed greatly influences the optimal choice between the various AM technologies, in both technological and economic terms. Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is the technology that exhibits the greatest limitations hindering mass production due to production times and costs, but also due to the associated environmental impact.

Abstract:
Previous studies on health prognosis are exceedingly dependence on the failure data and sensor data of a single component of manufacturing systems, and the holistic health prognosis techniques applicable to whole manufacturing systems still remain a challenge due to its increasingly physical and functional complexity. Therefore, a generalized health prognosis method is presented based on the deep fusion of quality-oriented big data of operational process of manufacturing systems. First, the generalized connotation of manufacturing system health is explained from the aspects of the physical composition and functional characteristics of manufacturing systems, and the quality state task network is proposed to organize quality-oriented big operational data, which improve the state transparency of the manufacturing system and lay the foundation of holistic health prognosis. Second, key characterization parameters in quality state task network are defined. Specifically, the performance state is analyzed based on multistate characteristics by considering the effects of stochastic degradation processes; the product quality state is quantified by using a process model that is established based on monitoring and inspection data; and the task execution state is quantitatively described by analyzing the evolution of task demand among machines. Third, an integrated model is built by integrating the three above-mentioned states as two key indicators, namely, qualified degree and mission reliability, for the comprehensive prognosis of the health of manufacturing systems. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed approach is verified with a case study on the health prognosis of a cylinder head manufacturing system.

Abstract:
Industry 4.0 has radically been transforming the production processes and systems with the adoption of enabling technologies, such as Internet of things (IoT), big data, additive manufacturing (AM), and cloud computing. In this context, sensors are essential to extract information about production, spare parts, equipment health, and environmental conditions necessary for improving many aspects of industrial processes (flexibility, efficiency, costs, etc.). Sensors should be placed everywhere (on machines, smart devices, objects, and tools) inside the factory to monitor in real-time physical quantities such as temperature, vibrations, deformations that could affect the production. Printed electronics (PE) offers techniques to produce unconventional sensor and systems or to make conventional objects “smart”. This work aims to analyze innovative PE technologies—inkjet printing and aerosol jet printing in combination with photonic curing—as manufacturing technologies for electronics and sensors to be integrated into objects, showing a series of sensors fabricated by PE as applications that will be adopted for smart objects and Industry 4.0.

Abstract:
Pu-erh is a fermented Chinese tea with characteristics of mild, woody flavor and dark red color. The preparation of the tea starts from leaves of Camellia sinensis in natura that undergo a drying in the sun. Its classification is given in two categories: a raw tea similar to green tea and a matured tea that is fermented. Matured tea has a higher market value due to the processes involved in manufacturing, especially in terms of aging. Pu-erh has numerous benefits for human health, which are closely related to the bioactive profile of the main chemical components of tea, being polyphenols, theabrownins, flavonols, polysaccharides, amino acids and alkaloids. The increasing introduction of Pu-erh tea in the diet of consumers results in the need to explore information associated with consumption through analysis of the available literature, addressing current scientific evidence. Therefore, the present review sought to elucidate the fermentative process of Pu-erh tea production, its chemical composition, its sensory aspects and health benefits.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT There is a tremendous opportunity to modernize the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry—relinquishing outdated machines that have been used for decades, and replacing them with state-of-the-art equipment that reflect more contemporary advanced technologies. This article describes how the implementation of continuous manufacturing, replacing outdated batch systems, can positively impact our health care sector. Important benefits will include the creation of advanced pharmaceutical manufacturing jobs in the United States, the establishment of capabilities and capacity to quickly produce drugs critical to U.S. citizens, the reduction of health care costs through more efficient manufacturing, and access to better quality drugs through more sophisticated and reliable production processes. Furthermore, the application of continuous manufacturing will enable the U.S. Government, in partnership with pharmaceutical companies, to address current issues such as drug shortages, national emergencies (eg, natural disasters or chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear threats), the Strategic National Stockpile (ie, improving response time and reducing maintenance costs), and the delivery of critical drugs to distant geographies (eg, forward military bases). The article also provides a detailed example of a critical aspect of continuous manufacturing: the ability to overcome technical challenges encountered by batch technologies.

Abstract:
Implementing Industry 4.0 and interconnected robotization in industrial enterprises drifts towards occupational changes. Nowadays, the task is to create cooperation and collaboration between a robot and a human in a common robotized workplace so that it is safe and effective. The type of robot, the robotic device that works in collaboration with a human operator, is called a cobot. In the case of a closer interaction of the robot or cobot with humans, it is necessary to consider where it is possible to replace human work entirely or where it is possible to merely supplement it. The most socially acceptable option is the implementation of robots only for the performance of supplementary tasks, since the traditional work positions of people in manufacturing processes would remain largely preserved. On the other hand, workplace robotization is particularly suitable for work environments with hazardous chemical substances that are carcinogenic and toxic to humans. Similarly, robotization helps to improve workplace ergonomics and also to avoid, for humans, very laborious and often repetitive work. The SWOT analysis (analysis of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) was used as a relevant tool to assess various aspects of the impact of increasing robotization on working positions in industrial enterprises. SWOT analysis is an indicative assessment of the suitability of implementation of robots in a given workplace, which helps to create an optimal solution and indicate new areas of needed analysis and research directions.

Abstract:
Measurement provides numerical information, usually to assist in some decision process. Quality control is fundamental to the measurement process if the results are to provide confidence to the decision maker. The degree of quality control required depends on the context and purpose of the measurements. Quality control is particularly important in the forensic measurement of breath alcohol in light of the significant consequences involved. Control charts are an important and widely used tool in quality control for both measuring and manufacturing processes. They help evaluate measurement variability and provide a visual assessment of the system's state of statistical control. Control charts can be developed and applied in a variety of different ways. Several examples are illustrated that apply control charts to breath alcohol measuring systems. Application of these methods should result in improved process monitoring in addition to improved confidence for forensic purposes.

Abstract:
Two of the fundamental questions that arise in the manufacturing industry concerning every type of manufacturing process are: (1) Given an object, can it be built using a particular process? (2) Given that an object can be built using a particular process, what is the best way to construct the object? The latter question gives rise to many different problems depending on how best is qualified. We address these problems for two complimentary categories of manufacturing processes: rapid prototyping systems and casting processes. The method we use to address these problems is to first define a geometric model of the process in question and then answer the question on that model.
In the category of rapid prototyping systems, we concentrate on stereolithography, which is emerging as one of the most popular rapid prototyping systems. We model stereolithography geometrically and then study the class of objects that admit a construction in this model. For the objects that admit a construction, we find the orientations that allow a construction of the object.
In the category of casting processes, we concentrate on gravity casting and injection molding. We first model the process and its components geometrically. We then characterize and recognize the objects that can be formed using a re-usable two-part cast. Given that a cast of an object can be formed, we determine a suitable location for the pin gate, the point from which liquid is poured or injected into a mold. Finally, we compute an orientation of a mold that ensures a complete fill and minimizes the number of venting holes for molds used in gravity casting processes.

Abstract:
The application of a powder injection moulding process to the production of fully sintered hardmetal components has been studied. Salient, highly interdependent process variables investigated include; powder and binder characteristics, mixing techniques, feedstock rheological characteristics, mould design features, moulding parameters, debinding and sintering parameters. Fundamental studies were conducted to determine the effect of powder and binder characteristics on the powder loading capacity of feedstocks. Various methods of mixing were investigated. The most favourable methods were identified from the rheological response of their respective feedstocks as determined by capillary rheometry. Thermogravimetric analyses were used to; (a) identify binders and feedstocks essig beneficial debinding kinetics, (b) in the study of suitable debinding atmospheres and (c) to develop thermal debinding profiles for selected feedstocks. A spiral mould was used to assess the mouldability and optimum moulding parameters of selected feedstocks. Feedstock properties and mould design features which promoted moulding defects were identified and solutions developed. It was found that the maximum hardmetal powder loading achievable in a given feedstock was dependent on the powder size, size distribution and level of agglomeration. Low viscosity binders with high dielectric permittivities were found to promote highly loaded feedstocks. Feedstock viscosity increased with powder concentration. This relationship was modelled by a simple exponential power function over a narrow range of shear and powder concentration. Compounding methods utilising high shear melt mixing principles were found most effective in producing low viscosity feedstocks of consistent rheological response. Feedstock compositions of high powder concentrations and based on single, crystalline, wax binder systems were found to exhibit a high thermal dependence of viscosity, high activation energies of viscous flow, a high shear sensitivity and tended to segregate when subjected to shear. Such propensities were found detrimental to moulding behaviour. Spiral mould analysis revealed feedstock compositions were sensitive to changes in thermal parameters. Compositions based on multi-component binder systems were found most preferential in producing defect free mouldings of sound integrity and offered favourable debinding characteristics. Thermal debinding of mouldings was only completely effective by careful control of heating rates and when performed in hydrogen rich atmospheres. The reaction order and activation energy of the binder volatilisation was found to be dependent on the level of binder decomposition. Melt wicking was most effective using a hydrated magnesium aluminium silicate substrate. Sintered engineering components were produced by an injection moulding process with near theoretical densities and acceptable microstructures.

Abstract:
Environmental issues seem to be one of the most important topics in the globalised world. Organisations of all sizes are subject to pressure from suppliers, customers and governments to be more environmentally responsible. This research focuses on implementation of an Environmental Management System (EMS) in the automotive industry, both internationally and in South Africa, and examines the background and concepts of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), as well as the key implementation phases associated with the implementation of an EMS, in accordance with ISO 14001. The problem statement of this research is to determine if it is possible to transfer, apply and sustain environmental concepts to small, medium or large organisations. The primary objectives of this research, therefore, were to determine: does implementation of an EMS provide economic benefits to organisations; what drives an organisation to first implement an EMS; does implementation of an EMS improve environmental awareness and performance; and what implementation barriers are faced by small, medium and large organisations. To achieve these objectives, a literary review and an empirical survey were conducted. The survey consisted of an electronic, self-administered questionnaire that was circulated to respondents at various automotive organisations. Data collected from completed, returned questionnaires were analysed and graphically presented to complete the research and achieve the primary research objectives toward solving the afore-mentioned problem statement. Based on the findings of this research, it can be concluded that there is much to gain from implementing an EMS.

Abstract:
Work-related musculoskeletal disorders are associated with high costs and it is essential to prevent them. Occupational Health Services(OHS) provide expert services regarding work environment, health and rehabilitation of work related disorders. Risk assessments of the work environment can be an initial step for preventive measures, and ergonomists can be assigned by clients to assess exposures in the work environment. For such assignments different tools can be used. The aim of this thesis was to explore prerequisites, processes and practices of OHS consultants in Sweden within the domain of primary prevention of work-related musculoskeletal disorders. This was explored through the work of ergonomists in their role of assessing ergonomics risks. The research methodology was both quantitative and qualitative. Data collection includes a web questionnaire, semi-structured interviews and inter- and intra-observer reliability tests. The results shows that ergonomics risk assessments were most commonly initiated reactively and a systematic work methodology for the risk assessment process was often lacking. Swedish ergonomists used only a few standardized tools for risk assessment. The Ergonomics provision from the Swedish Work Environment Authority, AFS-98, was widely used, but other observation-based tools were used far less often. Ergonomics risks were often assessed solely by means of observation, based on ergonomists’ knowledge and experience. The results also pointed to that that the reliability was not acceptable when risk assessment was performed without any standardized tool. Furthermore, the results point to that support from the OHS organizations is an important prerequisite for ergonomists to work with primary prevention. Further, opportunities for specialization within a specific industry sector seem to facilitate ergonomic interventions. It is also important to have close relationships with clients and to make them aware about ergonomists competence. Conclusively, this thesis identifies a numbers of areas in which OHS must develop to improve primary preventive services regarding work environment.

Abstract:
Companies are expected to reduce the impact on society caused by its operations while at the same time, generate profit for its stakeholders. One way to satisfy both parts is by creating shared values. As the trend of servitization becomes more popular the ability of Product-Service Systems (PSS) to deliver additional value to customers arises. PSS provides an opportunity for developing a sustainable business model to benefit both the society and the stakeholders. A sustainable PSS can be based on the Triple Bottom Line dimensions, environment, economic, and social. Since the economic and environmental advantages have already been studied for PSS:s, the social aspect is yet to be studied in detail. This thesis focuses on the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) theme of the social dimension, for PSS:s. Both the ability to improve the social dimension performance and the role it plays in the value proposition for PSS:s were studied. The thesis has been based on a case study on one company in a Business to Business market. It was found that customers seldom demanded or mentioned health and safety aspects for PSS:s, even when an increase of OSH was achieved by the PSS. However, it could also be concluded that all interviewed thought OSH was important for the company and the employees but there were divided opinions regarding OSH, if it would be put in the value proposition or not. By analysing the customer situation and how it operates, companies should use the customizability of PSS:s to better match their requirements and thus develop the value proposition for the PSS. Cost estimations for accidents have been done which showed that one single accident can cause very high costs. It is a good investment to prevent risks which should be communicated when selling PSS:s. Furthermore, it is important to communicate both internally within the firm, and externally to customers, about what health and safety benefits the PSS will contribute with.
Företag förväntas att reducera påfrestningarna på samhället och miljön orsakade av deras verksamhet och samtidigt fortsätta generera värde till dess intressenter. Ett sätt att tillgodose båda parter är genom att skapa så kallade delade värden. Då trenden att tjänstefiera blir mer och mer populär finns det möjlighet för ett så kallat Produkt-Service System (PSS) att leverera mervärde till kunderna. PSS ger en möjlighet att utveckla en hållbar affärsmodell som gynnar både samhället och intressenterna. Ett hållbart PSS kan grundas på de tre byggstenarna för Triple Bottom Line, miljö, ekonomi och samhälle. Då de ekonomiska och miljömässiga fördelarna redan har studerats för PSS fokuserar denna studie på hur konceptet står sig för den samhälleliga aspekten. I denna rapport studeras arbetshälsa och säkerhet för PSS, både möjligheten att förbättra den samhälleliga aspekten i Triple Bottom Line samt vilken roll dessa värden spelar för en värdepropositionering för PSS. Rapporten har baserats på en fallstudie på ett företag inom marknaden för Business till Business. Det konstaterades att kunderna sällan efterfrågar eller nämner hälso- och säkerhetsaspekter i förhandlingar om PSS, även när en ökning av arbetshälsa och säkerhet uppnåddes. Hur som helst tyckte alla intervjuade att arbetshälsa och säkerhet var viktigt för företag och anställda men det var trots detta delade meningar om det borde vara en del av värdepropositioneringen eller inte. Genom att analysera kundernas situation och hur de arbetar borde företag använda anpassningsbarheten av PSS för att bättre matcha kundernas önskemål och således utveckla värdepropositioneringen för PSS. Kostnadsberäkningar för olyckor har genomförts som visar att en enskild olycka kan orsaka mycket höga kostnader. Det är en god investering att förebygga risker vilket borde kommuniceras vid försäljning av PSS:s. Det är viktigt att både kommunicera internt inom företaget samt externt till kunderna om de hälso- och säkerhetsaspekter som PSS bidrar med.

Abstract:
Grounded in self-determination theory and achievement goal theory, the purpose of this mixed-methods study was to examine the underlying motivational processes from social environments created by coaches, peers, and parents to motivational outcomes in high school athletes, with an emphasis on the relative influence of social agents in basic psychological needs (i.e., autonomy, competence, and relatedness). The quantitative part of this study tested a hierarchical model of high school sport motivation in a final sample of 311 student athletes (204 boys, 107 girls) using structural equation modeling: social factors (coach-, peer-, and parent-created motivational climates) -> psychological mediators (need satisfaction and frustration) -> types of motivation (autonomous motivation, controlled motivation, and amotivation) -> consequences (subjective vitality, athlete burnout, and intention to drop out). Invariance across gender and across team type (varsity vs. non-varsity) was also tested. Adequate model fits were achieved in separate "brighter side" and "darker side" models across the overall sample, gender, and team type. The follow-up qualitative part of this study explored "how" beyond "what" coaches, peers, and parents contribute to the social environments, need frustration, and negative motivational outcomes in sport in a subsample of 37 student athletes (24 boys, 13 girls) who reported high amotivation/burnout and higher than average dropout intentions in the quantitative survey. Content analysis and observation were conducted to interpret the focus group interview data among athletes across gender and team type. The results of both quantitative and qualitative parts were integrated and compared to summarize the roles of coaches, peers, and parents in the "brighter and darker sides" of athletic experience in high school athletes.

Abstract:
AbstractIn this chapter, we outline some perspectives on embracing the datasets gathered using Extended Non-destructive Testing (ENDT) during manufacturing or repair process steps within the life cycle of bonded products. Ensuring that the ENDT data and metadata are FAIR, i.e. findable, accessible, interoperable and re-usable, will support the relevant stakeholders in exploiting the contained material-related information far beyond a stop/go decision, while a shorter time-to-information will facilitate a prompter time-to-decision in process and product management. Exploiting the value of ENDT (meta)data will contribute to increased performance by integrating all defined, measured, analyzed and controlled aspects of material transformation across process and company boundaries. This will facilitate the optimization of manufacturing and repair operations, boosting their energy efficiency and productivity. In this regard, some aspects that are currently driving activities in the field of pre-process, in-process and post-process quality assessment will be addressed in the following. Furthermore, some requirements will be contemplated for harmonized and conjoint data transfer ranging from a bonded product’s beginning-of-life through its end-of-life, the customization of stand-alone or linked ENDT tools, and the implementation of sensor arrays and networks in joints, devices and structural parts to gather material-related data during a product’s middle-of-life application phase, thereby fostering structural health monitoring (SHM).

Abstract:
This paper underscores two important computational aspects associated with algorithms for data-driven inverse analysis and characterization of heat deposition processes. The first involves the fact that the mathematical foundation of these algorithms suggests that a very large class of temperature fields, associated with different types of heat deposition processes and different domain geometries can be represented parametrically by a relatively small set of functions. They include linear combinations of solutions to the heat conduction equation. Issues concerning the use of algorithms based on different types of parametric representations related to different types of heat deposition processes are discussed. A prototype analysis is presented to demonstrate many characteristics of these algorithms that are significant for their practical application. The second aspect relates to the filtering property of inversion itself due to the nature of the kernel function involved with the description of the heat source. Both of these aspects are crucially beneficial to developing methodologies that effect the real-time dynamic data-driven production parameter adjustments of manufacturing processes involving heat deposition.

Abstract:
Additive Manufacturing (AM) is an increasingly widespread family of technologies for the fabrication of objects based on successive depositions of mass and energy. A strong need for modeling and simulation tools for AM exists, in order to predict thermal histories, residual stresses, microstructure, and various other aspects of the resulting components. In this paper we explore the use of analytic solutions to model the thermal aspects of AM, in an effort to achieve high computational performance and enable “in the loop” use for feedback control of AM processes. It is shown that the utility of existing analytical solutions is limited due to their underlying assumption of a homogeneous semi-infinite domain. These solutions must therefore be enriched from their exact form in order to capture the relevant thermal physics associated with AM processes. Such enrichments include the handling of strong nonlinear variations in material properties, finite non-convex solution domains, behavior of heat sources very near boundaries, and mass accretion coupled to the thermal problem. The enriched analytic solution method (EASM) is shown to produce results equivalent to those of numerical methods which require six orders of magnitude greater computational effort.

Abstract:
Additive manufacturing (AM), owning to the unique layer-by-layer manufacturing method and its associated advantages, has been implemented in a great number of industries. To further expand the AM applications, the current low throughput of AM system needs to be improved. Consequently, the batch production method, where multiple parts are fabricated in one batch, has gained increasing research interest. In the current state of literature, most research efforts assess the batch production approach based on its manufacturing cost saving potential. Nevertheless, environmental sustainability, serving as a critical part in AM development, is less explored. Environmental sustainability of AM batch production needs to be thoroughly investigated and assessed, due to the potential environmental impacts and human health risks that AM batch production activities might cause. This research aims to advance the state-of-the-art on environmental sustainability evaluation for AM batch production, by experimentally comparing three main environmental sustainability aspects (i.e., energy consumption, emission, and material waste) for batch production processes with different batch sizes. Based on the experimental results, the feasibility of batch production method for AM is discussed. The outcomes of this research will help evaluate the AM batch production method from an environmental sustainability standpoint, and facilitate the development of AM batch production.

Full text
Abstract:
Press hardening is an innovative technology being applied to meet the growing demands for both lightweight and crash performance qualities. To further increase the lightweight potential, closed profiles are being used. As a result, a method has been developed at the Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology IWU which allows the integration of press hardening of tubes and closed profiles into the media-based forming process. Using this press hardening technology, the original material strength of 500 MPa can be increased to between 1200 and 1900 MPa, depending on the chosen material. The engineering of tube press hardening is more complex than other forming processes, specifically the time dependence in combination with heat management makes it difficult. Therefore the use of FEA is indispensible when dealing with aspects such as heat treatment, the forming process itself, the cooling caused by the gaseous forming media and the general heat management of the tooling. To control and improve the process and therefore the part quality and process reliability, all these factors and their dependencies have to be taken into account. In addition to 22MnB5, other manganese-boron alloyed steels and different heating strategies have been tested. Based on these experiments the process capability was successfully proven and technological limits were obtained. Current investigations are focused on realizing tailored properties thus creating areas with varied strength and ductility in a single part.

Abstract:
Engineering designers consider many aspects surrounding a product’s life in order to meet safety, reliability, quality, manufacturing, and cost requirements. Most of the time this is done in an excellent way and the resulting products offers broad functionality with high quality and reasonable price. However serious considerations of integration of environmental requirements are often missed in the product development process. All products contribute to a range of environmental problems. These problems arise through the entire life cycle of products from the creation to the disposal of products. Design for environment (DfE) is the systematic consideration of design performance with respect to environmental, health, and safety objectives over the full product and process life-cycle. It takes place early in a product’s design or upgrade phase to ensure that the environmental consequences of a product’s life cycle are considered. The key issue to success is how to select the most appropriate and effective strategy for a particular product to reduce environmental impacts without disregarding the business strategies in the decision making process. In this paper, a general framework is proposed to integrate the life cycle assessment and decision analysis for prioritizing the design for environment strategy by considering uncertainty issues exist in the decision making process. A case study is illustrated focusing in the product upgrade phase. The ultimate goal is to provide a design advisory tool for product designers in the hopes of facilitating their complex decision making processes by considering the environmental issues in mind.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper introduces briefly China’s development plan for intelligent manufacturing, and combining with the present situation of design, manufacture and maintenance of pressure equipment, puts forward the development directions for the digitization, networking and intelligentization of pressure equipment at present and in the next decade from three aspects. The first aspect is digital control of shape and performance of pressure equipment. Taking the furnace tube as an example, the Material Genome technology is recommended for establishing the relationship between the microstructure and macroscopic performance of its material and achieve the target macroscopic performance by the adjustment of composition, phase and microstructure; then the additive manufacturing (3D printing) technology can be used to control the resulting shape of certain special structures so as to achieve the integrated shape and performance and significant improvement of its service life. The second aspect is digitization and network-based interconnection of production factors such as materials, equipment and personnel in the pressure vessel production workshop to realize intelligent manufacturing. Taking the transportable pressure vessel for instance, the real-time identification, diagnosis and control of abnormal conditions can be realized by information and communication technology during the key production processes such as baiting, cutting, forming, welding, heat treatment, and non-destructive testing; and if necessary, the suitable manufacturing resources across different enterprises and regions can be organized to achieve the flexible production and collaborative manufacturing of the components such as heads and flanges, etc. The third aspect is to achieve the real-time online integrity assurance of pressure equipment in process industries (e.g., petrochemical and electric power, etc.) by digitization and networking of risk-based inspection (RBI), fitness-for-service (FFS) assessment technologies and their corresponding database, in combination with real-time monitoring technology based on the characteristic safety parameters. Taking the reactor effluent air cooler (REAC) system as an example, this technology would enable not only the safety warning of critical characteristic parameters, but also the self-limiting and self-prevention of the flow-induced corrosion failure by linking with the distributed control system (DCS).

Full text
Abstract:
Despite immense advances in Laser-Aided Direct Material Deposition process, many issues concerning the adverse effects of process parameters on the stability of variety of properties and the integrity of microstructure have been reported. Macroscopic aspects are important in predicting macroscopic defects or optimizing process conditions, while microstructural features such as phase appearance, morphology, grain size, spacing, or micro-defects are certainly no less important in determining the ultimate properties of the solidified product. Traditional solidification theories as applied to castings or related processes are inappropriate in describing solidification in high-energy beam processes involving significantly greater cooling rates. Due to the complexity and nonlinearity of this process, analytical solutions can rarely address the practical manufacturing process. This paper is an attempt towards a methodology of finite element analysis for the prediction of solidification microstructure and macroscopic as well as microscopic thermal residual stresses in this process. The computer simulation which is based on metallo-thermomechanical theory and finite element analysis for coupled temperature, solidification, phase transformation and stress/strain fields can prove to be a very useful tool in predicting the material behavior and optimizing the process parameters to obtain the best material properties. This model would reduce long and cumbersome experimental routes to predict the material behavior under similar loading conditions.

Abstract:
Sustainability in manufacturing became more and more important in the last years and, because of scarcity of resources, will become even more important in the future. In a process-oriented view, abrasive processes appear to be the worst manufacturing processes concerning sustainability due to their high required specific energies. In this paper a product-oriented view is proposed, taking the whole Life Cycle of the machined products into account. In doing so, it becomes evident that abrasive processes can enhance sustainability even when investing additional energy during machining.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract The drive for small and compact electronic components with higher processing capabilities is limited by their ability to dissipate the associated heat generated during operations. Therefore, these components are equipped with heat sinks to facilitate the dissipation of thermal energy. The emergence of additive manufacturing (AM) allowed for new degrees of freedom in terms of design and eliminated the need for excessive tooling that is associated with the conventional manufacturing processes. As such, AM facilitated the development of geometrically complex heat sinks that are capable of capitalizing on topological aspects to enhance their performance. The main objective of this study is to propose and develop architected heat sinks. We propose the use of heat sinks with topologies based on triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS). 3D CFD models are developed using Starccm+ platform for three architected heat sinks to study the heat transfer coefficient and surface temperature in free convection heat transfer domains. The heat dissipation versus the input heat sources as well as the heat transfer coefficient will be used for measuring the heat sink performance. The required fluid flow rate and pressure drop will be used to measure the required cooling power for the proposed heat sinks.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of this review is to assist FCDO in understanding the evidence of impact and any valuable lessons regarding the effect equitable quality education can have on ‘open society’. The search revealed that there is a considerable volume of evidence which focuses on education’s ability to reduce poverty, increase economic growth, boost employability and achieve better health outcomes. There is less which focuses on the aspects of ‘open society’ as defined in this paper. The scope of this review was narrowed to focus upon areas of the ‘open society’ definition where the most evidence does exist, given the timeframe for the review. The scope was narrowed to focus on: democracy, civic engagement, and social cohesion. The review of the literature found strong evidence that equitable quality education can have a range of positive impacts on democracy (specifically, its institutions and processes), civic engagement and social cohesion. There is a considerable body of evidence which indicates that there is a correlation between equitable quality education and benefits to societies (more peaceful, higher levels of trust, greater participation in politics, etc). However, there was no clear evidence that investment in equitable quality education directly leads to positive societal outcomes. This is because there are so many other factors to account for in attempting to prove causation. The lack of rigorous studies which attempt to attribute causation demonstrates a clear evidence gap. It is important to note that education systems themselves are politicised and cannot be divorced from the political process. The extent to which education can impact positively on open society depends a great deal on the value education has within the political system in which it is operating.

Gender mainstreaming in local potato seed system in Georgia. International Potato Center, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.4160/9789290605645.

Full text
Abstract:
This report presents the study findings associated with the project “Enhancing Rural Livelihoods in Georgia: Introducing Integrated Seed Health Approaches to Local Potato Seed Systems” in Georgia. It also incorporates information from the results of gender training conducted within the framework of the USAID Potato Program in Georgia. The study had three major aims: 1) to understand the gender-related opportunities and constraints impacting the participation of men and women in potato seed systems in Georgia; 2) to test the multistakeholder framework for intervening in root, tuber, and banana (RTB) seed systems as a means to understand the systems themselves and the possibilities of improving gender-related interventions in the potato seed system; and 3) to develop farmers’ leadership skills to facilitate women’s active involvement in project activities. Results of the project assessment identified certain constraints on gender mainstreaming in the potato seed system: a low level of female participation in decision-making processes, women’s limited access to finances that would enable their greater involvement in larger scale potato farming, and a low awareness of potato seed systems and of possible female involvement in associated activities. Significantly, the perception of gender roles and stereotypes differs from region to region in Georgia; this difference is quite pronounced in the target municipalities of Kazbegi, Marneuli, and Akhalkalaki, with the last two having populations of ethnic minorities (Azeri and Armenian, respectively). For example, in Marneuli, although women are actively involved in potato production, they are not considered farmers but mainly as assistants to farmers, who are men. This type of diversity (or lack thereof) results in a different understanding of gender mainstreaming in the potato seed system as well. Based on the training results obtained in three target regions—Akhalkalaki, Akhaltsikhe, and Marneuli—it is evident that women are keen on learning new technologies and on acquiring updated agricultural information, including on potato production. It is also clear that women spend as much time as men do on farming activities such as potato production, particularly in weeding and harvesting. However, women are heavily burdened with domestic work, and they are not major decision-makers with regard to potato variety selection, agricultural investments, and product sales, nor with the inclusion of participants in any training provided. Involving women in project activities will lead to greater efficiency in the potato production environment, as women’s increased knowledge will certainly contribute to an improved production process, and their new ideas will help to improve existing production systems, through which women could also gain confidence and power. As a general recommendation, it is extremely important to develop equitable seed systems that take into consideration, among other factors, social context and the cultural aspects of local communities. Thus, understanding male and female farmers’ knowledge may promote the development of seed systems that are sustainable and responsive to farmers’ needs and capacities.
