Design for Product-Embedded Disassembly
Volume 2: 31st Design Automation Conference, Parts A and B, 2005This paper presents a computational method for designing assemblies with a built-in disassembly pathway that maximizes the profit of disassembly while satisfying regulatory requirements for component retrieval. Given component revenues and components to be retrieved, the method simultaneously determines the spatial configurations of components and ...

Designing for Disassembly (DfD)
Architectural Design, 2009AbstractThe redundancy of existing buildings that leads to demolition and the unnecessary disposal of structures and their parts is one of the most challenging aspects of the current construction industry. This large‐scale problem of obsolescence leads to the squandering of existing materials and resources on a massive scale.

Design for disassembly: a methodology for identifying the optimal disassembly sequence
Journal of Engineering Design, 2007Optimizing the disassembly sequence of mechanical systems is very useful in order to improve maintenance and recycling activities (i.e. to reduce costs, times and number of operations). A new virtual disassembly environment, based on two different algorithms, is presented.

Design for Assembly and Disassembly
CIRP Annals, 1992Summary A review is made of design for assembly (DFA) methods developed over the last fifteen years. It is found that implementation of DFA at the early conceptual stage of design has led to enormous benefits including simplification of products, lower assembly and manufacturing costs, reduced overheads, improved quality and reduced time to market ...

Unfabricate: Designing Smart Textiles for Disassembly
Proceedings of the 2020 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2020Smart textiles development is combining computing and textile technologies to create tactile, functional objects such as smart garments, soft medical devices, and space suits. However, the field also combines the massive waste streams of both the digital electronics and textiles industries.

Design for Disassembly and the Environment
CIRP Annals, 1996Abstract The financial and environmental consequences of disassembly and recycling at the end of a product's life are studied. Analyses of a small coffee maker and some large domestic appliances are presented. It is shown that redesign proposals resulting from Design for Assembly analysis are compatible with Design for Disassembly and that ...

Design for re-use and disassembly
Proceedings Second International Symposium on Environmentally Conscious Design and Inverse Manufacturing, 2002Due to the short innovation cycles of electrical and electronic equipment there is a tremendous need to extend the life-time of these products. Life-time extension can be achieved through easily replaceable and reusable subassemblies or devices, which reduce the risks and costs of disassembling activities.

Design for Disassembly: Potential for Durability
2005 4th International Symposium on Environmentally Conscious Design and Inverse Manufacturing, 2006The practice of sustainable design requires an analysis of the environmental, social, political and economic impact of a product throughout its entire lifecycle. There is much research into the manufacturing and waste management phases; however, little attention has been paid to the 'use' phase of the life cycle. Joseph Fiskel acknowledged in 1996 that,

Design for assembly and disassembly for remanufacturing
Assembly Automation, 2016Purpose– This research aims to propose a methodology for a systematic, concurrent consideration of design for assembly (DFA) and disassembly guidelines and constraints for product remanufacturing. The methodology provides a holistic approach to design product from the remanufacturing perspective.Design/methodology/approach– The proposed methodology ...

Computer Aided Design-for-Disassembly: A Destructive Approach
Concurrent Product and Process Engineering, 1995Abstract Re-using manufactured goods through material and part recycling is becoming increasingly important, especially in industrialized society where the natural resources needed to manufacture goods are becoming scarcer. Because of this, significant efforts are spent on designing the goods for easy recycling after their intended life.
