Integrated Analysis Of Economic Optimization And Life Cycle Assessment For A Fully Modular Wheelchair Accessibility Ramp Utilizing Recyclable Materials, Nicolas Whelan
Honors Scholar Theses
In response to the growing emphasis on sustainability and accessibility in infrastructure development, this research paper delves into the optimization of economic opportunities presented by fully modular wheelchair accessibility ramps. By integrating principles of modularity, recyclability, and circular design, these ramps offer a promising solution to the dual challenges of accessibility and environmental impact. The study employs interdisciplinary methods, merging design, economics, and environmental sustainability, to evaluate the feasibility and potential of these innovative ramp designs. Central to the analysis is the application of a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to quantify the environmental impact and carbon footprint associated with modular …
Containerization Of Seafarers In The International Shipping Industry: Contemporary Seamanship, Maritime Social Infrastructures, And Mobility Politics Of Global Logistics, Liang Wu
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
This dissertation discusses the mobility politics of container shipping and argues that technological development, political-economic order, and social infrastructure co-produce one another. Containerization, the use of standardized containers to carry cargo across modes of transportation that is said to have revolutionized and globalized international trade since the late 1950s, has served to expand and extend the power of international coalitions of states and corporations to control the movements of commodities (shipments) and labor (seafarers). The advent and development of containerization was driven by a sociotechnical imaginary and international social contract of seamless shipping and cargo flows. In practice, this liberal, …
Energy Efficiency In Additive Manufacturing: Condensed Review, Ismail Fidan, Vivekanand Naikwadi, Suhas Alkunte, Roshan Mishra, Khalid Tantawi
Energy Efficiency In Additive Manufacturing: Condensed Review, Ismail Fidan, Vivekanand Naikwadi, Suhas Alkunte, Roshan Mishra, Khalid Tantawi
Engineering Technology Faculty Publications
Today, it is significant that the use of additive manufacturing (AM) has growing in almost every aspect of the daily life. A high number of sectors are adapting and implementing this revolutionary production technology in their domain to increase production volumes, reduce the cost of production, fabricate light weight and complex parts in a short period of time, and respond to the manufacturing needs of customers. It is clear that the AM technologies consume energy to complete the production tasks of each part. Therefore, it is imperative to know the impact of energy efficiency in order to economically and properly …
