  2. 1. Numerical and Experimental Investigations of the Machinability of Ti6AI4V : Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Cooling/ Lubrication Strategies

    Author : Salman Pervaiz; Cornel Mihai Nicolescu; Hazim El-Mounayri; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Titanium alloys; Energy consumption; Wear mechanisms; Finite element analysis; computational fluid dynamic analysis; Production Engineering; Industriell produktion;

    Abstract : Titanium alloys are widely utilized in the aerospace, biomedical,marine, petro-chemical and other demanding industries due to theirdurability, high fatigue resistance and ability to sustain elevateoperating temperature. As titanium alloys are difficult to machine, dueto which machining of these alloys ends up with higher environmentalburden. READ MORE

  4. 2. Sustainable Design and Control of Automated Material Handling Systems

    Author : Maziar Mashaei; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Mixed integer leaner model.; CPN tool; Universal design framework; Sustainable production philosophy; Conceptual and detailed design phases; Automated material handling system; Pallet system; Synthesis and evaluation methods;

    Abstract : An automated material handling system is a collection of electro mechanical components, electronics, and computer-based devices that act together to maintain flow of parts and materials in a modern production environment. Material flow is a significant factor in the design of manufacturing plants. READ MORE

  5. 3. Circular Manufacturing Systems : A development framework with analysis methods and tools for implementation

    Author : Farazee M A Asif; Amir Rashid; Peter Hopkinson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Circular economy; circular manufacturing systems; resource conservative manufacturing; ResCoM; system dynamics; Production Engineering; Industriell produktion;

    Abstract : The society today lives on the philosophy of ‘take-make-use-dispose.’ In the long run, this is not sustainable as the natural resources and the waste carrying capacity of the earth are limited. Therefore, it is essential to reduce dependency on the natural resources by decoupling the growth from the consumption. READ MORE

  6. 4. Beyond Waste Management : Challenges to Sustainable Global Physical Resource Management

    Author : Jagdeep Singh; Björn Frostell; Olga Kordas; Anju Singh; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Sustainable global physical resource management; global waste management; systems thinking; life cycle thinking; planning framework; global environmental justice; circular economy; Industrial Ecology; Industriell ekologi;

    Abstract : Current physical resource management (PRM) was investigated in a global perspective in this thesis, to gain a deeper understanding of its implications in a sustainability perspective. In particular, the main challenges to the current PRM system and the kinds of systemic changes needed for sustainable PRM were examined. READ MORE

  7. 5. Regional  food supply and sustainable use of natural resources

    Author : Åsa Svenfelt; Stockholm University; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This licentiate thesis presents a theoretical framework for evaluating sustainability in industrialized regions, especially with respect to food systems. The focus is on ecosystem life-support as a basis for food production and the potential for moving towards a sustainable food supply system. READ MORE
