Design for Disassembly and the Environment
- T. Harjula, B. Rapoza, W. Knight, G. Boothroyd
- Engineering
- 1996
Abstract 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… Expand
Preform design for closed die forgings: Experimental basis for computer aided design
Abstract A rationalized procedure, incorporated into a computer programme, for the design of preforms for certain forging cross sections is outlined. The performance of preforms designed using this… Expand
Integrated Design Analysis for Product Simplification
- G. Lucchetta, P. Bariani, W. Knight
- Engineering
- 2005
A systematic methodology is presented for product structure simplification through an integration of Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) with the Theory of Invention Problem Solving (TRIZ). A… Expand
Research program on the selection of materials and processes for component parts
- G. Boothroyd, P. Dewhurst, W. Knight
- Engineering
- 1 May 1991
It is now widely accepted that the final cost of a manufactured product is largely determined at the design stage. The research programme described in this paper addresses decisions that must be made… Expand
Design for assembly analysis: extraction of geometric features from a CAD system data base
- Lourdes M. Rosario, W. Knight
- Engineering
- 1989
Design for assembly analysis procedures require certain geometric properties for each component part and sub-assembly. Algorithms have been developed for extracting this geometric information… Expand
Design for Manufacture Analysis: Early Estimates of Tool Costs for Sintered Parts
- W. Knight
- Engineering
- 1991
Early decisions on processing methods and part features should be based on quantitative assessments of manufacturing costs. This paper describes a methodology for determining tooling costs for… Expand
