Navigating the Double Edge of Product‐Service Systems: User Behavior, Adoption, and Rebound Effects

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Product‐service systems (PSS) have been considered a promising approach to operationalizing the circular economy. Although many studies have outlined the potential sustainability gains of PSS solutions, it is still unclear what factors drive PSS adoption and how behavioral changes result in rebound effects, undermining their potential ...

Are e-scooters polluters? The environmental impacts of shared dockless electric scooters

Environmental Research Letters, 2019
Shared stand-up electric scooters are now offered in many cities as an option for short-term rental, and marketed for short-distance travel. Using life cycle assessment, we quantify the total environmental impacts of this mobility option associated with ...

Detecting Loosening of Bolt‐Flanged Pipe Using Smoothed Pseudo Wigner–Ville Distribution: Digital Twin‐Based Approach Using Convolution Neural Networks

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper, an integrated digital twin‐based fault‐diagnosis framework is proposed to detect bolt loosening in flanged pipe connections. The approach combines finite element‐based numerical modeling, experimental modal analysis, and advanced signal processing‐assisted deep learning to achieve reliable loosening detection under operational ...
