Published: July 2021

Bottleneck shifting prediction has been widely applied to the remanufacturing system for throughput improvement, and it would directly influence the general presentation of the remanufacturing system. However, predicting dynamic bottlenecks of remanufacturing systems is complicated due to the disturbed environment (e.g. various processing time and uncertain processing routes). This paper built a metamorphosis CNT conjunct with coupled map lattice (CML) algorithm to predict the bottleneck shifting phenomenon in remanufacturing for the first time. The CNT was applied to the articulation of remanufacturing process, while the CML algorithm was devoted to calculating the dynamic indicator of the bottleneck. We took the value-added connecting rod as the research object to illustrate the availability of the proposed method. As validated by Arena simulation, the approach presented in this paper put forward is feasible to make an accurate prediction for shifting bottlenecks in a remanufacturing system.

As the critical components in hydrogen refueling, storage, and transportation systems, the degradation and failure of rubber O-ring seals under a high-pressure (HP) hydrogen environment (up to 100 MPa) directly affect hydrogen energy safety. Clarifying the interaction mechanism of hydrogen diffusion and the mechanical properties of rubber seals is essential for HP hydrogen infrastructure. A hydrogen diffusion-mechanical sequential numerical model is built to investigate the sealing performance and hydrogen diffusion behaviors of rubber seals using ABAQUS software.

This paper aimed at facilitating robotized disassembly for remanufacturing by focusing on the challenge of rectangular peg-hole disassembly. The study explores all potential contact states during the rectangular peg-hole disassembly process and identifies 26 distinct conditions, 16 of which are related to jamming. The contact conditions are categorized into five groups based on the number of contacts with the surface.

While circularity has gained significant attention in recent years, the wood products industry remains an understudied sector in terms of remanufacturing practices. This study addresses this research gap by synthesizing the existing research on remanufacturing in the wood products industry and developing a research agenda tailored to the European context based on a structured literature review. Content and thematic analyses of peer-reviewed publications founded the basis of the synthesis.

Article Synopsis
  • * Molecular dynamics simulations showed that AMPs can disrupt bacterial cell membranes by changing their thickness and curvature, with varying effects based on how the AMPs are attached to surfaces.
  • * The study found that immobilized AMPs' ability to disrupt membranes relies on electrostatic interactions, which could help design more effective and stable AMP surfaces for better antimicrobial performance.

To mitigate the impact of climate change, a transition to renewables in the energy sector is needed. Offshore wind energy is a promising renewable technology that is developing at an unprecedented rate. However, the offshore wind industry is material intensive, and there are concerns about its end-of-life strategies and that we might end up exchanging a climate challenge with a material challenge.
