Uniquely presents remanufacturing fundamentals to a wide audience in an accessible, useful way Remanufacturing is an industrial process that restores used, worn and retired products or modules to a like-new condition. The restoration is typically a highly engineered process done in an industrial setting through which products are systematically disassembled, cleaned, and inspected for wear and degradation. Damaged or degraded components are either restored to their original specifications or replaced, feature upgrades can be incorporated, and the product is reassembled. Finally, reliability and quality testing are performed to ensure that performance meets original product specifications. Remanufacturing is a unique End-of-Life (EoL) option due to increasing the number of life cycles of a product before final disposal. First, recurring environmental benefits, such as emission and raw material extraction avoidance are obtained with each additional product life cycle. Second, individual resource efficiency yields increase through product remanufacture. Third, recirculating products decreases the demand and dependency for primary resource production, further closing the material loop and creating a more circular economy. In addition, remanufacturing can initiate more preferable EoL options such as recovery, recycling, and waste reduction. While remanufacturing offers numerous benefits, there is significant lack of literature and books covering the fundamentals of operations, technologies and business models. Remanufacturing in the Circular Economy provides an in-depth coverage of remanufacturing fundamentals and its strong link to circular economy and resource efficiency. This groundbreaking book has the following attributes: First book ever to address remanufacturing fundamentals in an integrated and scientific fashion Strong coverage of the role of remanufacturing in a circular economy system Diverse topics including design, business models, and trade and policy challenges Focuses on cross cutting topics relating to all industry sectors Audience The book will be used by industrial and manufacturing engineers in all areas of industry (aerospace, electronics, automotive, etc.) and be of interest to policy makers and logisticians working on sustainable production, remanufacturing, and the circular economy. It can also be used on courses on circular economy and remanufacturing (business, engineering, environmental engineering, engineering technology, community college and trade schools' students).

Plated structures are important in a variety of marine, land-based and aerospace applications, including ships, offshore platforms, box girder bridges, power/chemical plants, box girder cranes, and aircrafts. The basic strength members in plated structures include support members (such as stiffeners, girders and frames), plates, stiffened panels, grillages, box columns, and box girders. During their lifetime, the structures constructed with these members are subjected to various types of action and action effects that are usually normal but sometimes extreme or even accidental. It is now well recognized that the limit state approach is a much better basis for structural design than allowable working stresses and simplified buckling checks for structural components. This book reviews and describes both the fundamentals and practical procedures for the ultimate limit state analysis and design of steel- and aluminum-plated structures. Structural fracture mechanics and structural impact mechanics are also described. This book is an extensive update of the first edition Ultimate Limit State Design of Steel-Plated Structures, published in 2003. Particularly valuable coverage in this book includes: Nonlinear structural mechanics, and limit state analysis and design of steel- and aluminum-plated structural systems and their components Progressive collapse analysis and design of damage tolerant structures against extreme and accidental conditions Fabrication related initial imperfections such as initial distortions, residual stresses and softening Age related degradation such as corrosion wastage and fatigue cracking Accident induced damages such as local denting, collision damage and grounding damage Low temperatures, cryogenic conditions and elevated temperatures Structural fracture mechanics Structural impact mechanics Incremental Galerkin method Nonlinear finite element method and intelligent supersize finite element method Designed as both a textbook and a handy reference, this book is well suited for university students approaching the related technologies. In terms of the more advanced and sophisticated design methodologies presented, this book should also meet the needs of structural analysts, structural designers, researchers, and practicing engineers involved in the field of naval architecture and offshore, civil, architectural, mechanical, and aerospace engineering.
