Opis

Based on a multi-level design approach to optimize product architecture and components, this book provides basic concepts, methodological frameworks, mathematical modeling, and design tools, illustrating the practical application of Design for Environment. The text integrates the life cycle approach in the conventional engineering design process, and covers the best strategies to achieve environmental quality, including analysis of resource distribution over the life cycle, extension of life, and recovery at the end-of-life. The book not only explores the potential of the approach and methods, but also analyzes some of the problems involved in developing eco-compatible products in the company context.
