Kurzbeschreibung
The Wiley Series in Environmentally Conscious Engineering will be made up of a number of contributed books, each covering a broad subset of information. Planned titles include: Environmentally Conscious Mechanical Design (0471726362), Environmentally Conscious Manufacturing (0471726370), Environmentally Conscious Material and Chemical Processing (0471739049), Environmentally Conscious Alternative Energy Production (0471739111) and Environmentally Conscious Transportation (0471793698). The target market for the series will be practicing professionals, both engineers and managers, and upper level engineering students.
The first volume of the series, Environmentally Conscious Mechanical Design will focus on the foundations of environmental design?both understanding it and implementing it. Coverage will include the important technical and analytical techniques and best practices of designing industrial, business, and consumer products that are environmentally friendly and meet environmental regulations. Proposed chapters will cover Optimizing Designs; Design for Environment (DFE) practices, guidelines, methods and tools; Life Cycle Assessment and Design; Reverse Engineering; ISO 14000 and Environmental Management Systems (EMS) standards and others.
Best practices for developing and implementing environmentally friendly mechanical designs
The first volume of the Wiley Series in Environmentally Conscious Engineering, Environmentally Conscious Mechanical Design, gives you the tools to minimize the negative environmental impacts throughout the entire life cycle of a product, by addressing these impacts early in the design phase. Each chapter has been authored by one or more leading experts. Based on their own research and design experience, these experts provide a suite of tools and best practices for planning and implementing environmentally friendly designs that meet regulations. Moreover, you learn how to satisfy business objectives, such as minimizing cost and maximizing design utility, while meeting environmental objectives at the same time.
Chapters include:
* Design for Environment (DfE) strategies, practices, guidelines, methods, and tools
* Product Design for Sustainability: A New Assessment Methodology and Case Studies
* Life Cycle Design
* Reverse Engineering
* Design for Reliability
* Design for Maintainability
* Reuse and Recycling Technologies
* Design for Remanufacturing Processes
* Materials Selection for Green Design
* Employing TQM in Environmentally Conscious Design
Throughout the volume, examples and case studies serve as blueprints, demonstrating how designs are devised and executed. Figures illustrate key design principles, and tables provide at-a-glance summaries of key data. Finally, references at the end of each chapter enable you to investigate individual topics in greater depth.
Turn to all of the books in the Wiley Series in Environmentally Conscious Engineering for the most cutting-edge, environmentally friendly engineering practices and technologies.
