Multi-Lifecycle Assessment Of Cathode Ray Tubes, Devendra Jayant Badwe
Multi-Lifecycle Assessment Of Cathode Ray Tubes, Devendra Jayant Badwe
Theses
Over the past few years environmental issues and concerns have become more and more important, as they become a common part of most people's personal experience. In these regards, the electronics industry is facing substantial problems in terms of end-of-life management of its products, televisions and monitors in particular. The building blocks of this industry are usually viewed as relatively "clean". However, manufacturing by-products of the electronics industry and the disposition of electronics are becoming increasingly important technical, financial, and environmental issues.
Within the context of the above issues, environmentally responsible disposal of Cathode Ray Tubes (CRT's), which is still …
Parameters' Analysis Of 3d Random Stacking Palletization, Najeeb Syed
Parameters' Analysis Of 3d Random Stacking Palletization, Najeeb Syed
Theses
Palletization is a very important element of production, distribution and warehousing activities. The 3D random stacking palletization method is based on volume utilization instead of surface area optimization. Random stacking provides interlocking among the boxes and hence it improves the stability of the pallet load. Volumetric Pallet Utilization is normally the prime concern of any palletization process, with Work in Process and Palletization time being also important. This research uses data generated from a previous heuristic to establish mathematical relationships between the three mentioned performance indices and also three additional indirect variables, namely: Total Number of Sub Volumes, Partitioned Remaining …
Finite Element Analysis Of Skin Injuries By Water Jet Cutting, Syed Muhammad Arif
Finite Element Analysis Of Skin Injuries By Water Jet Cutting, Syed Muhammad Arif
Theses
High pressure water jets are used in industry for cleaning and cutting purposes. These devices can generate pressure up to 400 MPa. As high pressure water jets become more widespread in industry, injuries will be seen with great frequency. Penetrating injuries by these devices can produce minimal external evidence of extensive soft tissue injury. To know the extent of injury, it is important to study the relationship between operating parameters of water jet and the skin layers. A computational analysis is carried out using finite element method to find the effects of water jet pressure on the skin layer. Finite …
