A Generalized Data-Driven Energy Prediction Model with Uncertainty for a Milling Machine Tool using Gaussian Process

June 8, 2015
Author(s)
Jinkyoo Park, Raunak Bhinge, Nishant Biswas, Amrita Srinivasan, Kincho H. Law, David Dornfeld, Moneer Helu, Sudarsan Rachuri
Using a machine learning approach, this study investigates the effects of machining parameters on the energy consumption of a milling machine tool, which would allow selection of optimal operational strategies to machine a part with the minimum energy

Building Analytical Support for Homeland Security

February 2, 2015
Author(s)
Sanjay Jain, Charles W. Hutchings, Yung-Tsun Lee
This chapter discusses modeling and simulation as a significant means for providing analytical support for homeland security problem solving and decision making that involves what can be considered a complex and dynamic system of systems - the current

Towards Development of a Testbed for Sustainable Manufacturing

November 25, 2014
Author(s)
Juyeon Lee, Seungjun Shin, Yung-Tsun T. Lee, Don E. Libes
A growing number of manufacturing companies are treating sustainability as a strategic objective that will increase both their global competitiveness and their market share. To implement this objective, these companies must first assess, and then evaluate

In-situ morphology studies of the mechanism for solution additive effects on the formation of bulk heterojunction films.

September 29, 2014
Author(s)
Lee J. Richter, Dean M. DeLongchamp, Kang W. Chou, Aram Amassian, A Hexemer, Eric Schaible, Felicia A. Bokel, Sebastian Engmann
The most successful active film morphology in organic photovoltaics is the bulk heterojunction (BHJ). The performance of a BHJ arises from a complex interplay of the spatial organization of the segregated donor and acceptor phases and the local order

An Information Classification System for Life Cycle and Manufacturing Standards

August 18, 2014
Author(s)
Sarah Wolff, Anantha Narayanan Narayanan, David Lechevalier, KC Morris
Sustainable manufacturing aims to increase efficiency and offset negative impacts throughout the life cycle of products. A myriad of standards pertaining to various aspects of a product's life cycle exist; however, it is often difficult for non-experts to

Sustainable Manufacturing Program Workshop Report

July 9, 2014
Author(s)
Sudarsan Rachuri, Katherine C. Morris, Utpal Roy, David Dornfeld, Soundar Kumara
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)’s Sustainable Manufacturing Program held a workshop on November 13-14, 2012, in Gaithersburg, MD. Dr. Shyam Sunder, Director of NIST’s Engineering Laboratory, initiated the workshop proceedings. In

Predictive analytics for manufacturing sustainability performance

June 20, 2014
Author(s)
Seungjun Shin, Jungyub Woo, Sudarsan Rachuri
The Smart Manufacturing (SM) system should be capable of handling high volume data, process high velocity data and manipulate high variety data. Big data analytics can enable timely and accurate insights using machine learning and predictive analytics to

MANUFACTURING PROCESS INFORMATION MODELS FOR SUSTAINABLE MANUFACTURING

June 9, 2014
Author(s)
Mahesh Mani, Kevin W. Lyons, Lina Valivullah, Satyandra K. Gupta
Sustainable manufacturing systems use processes, methodologies, and technologies that are energy efficient and environmentally friendly. To create and maintain such systems, well-defined measurement methodologies and corresponding manufacturing information

The general awareness of the need for use of earth’s resources in a sustainable manner has been increasing in recent years. Governments, commercial organizations and individuals have been making efforts to better manage and use available resources

A Framework for Research Inventory of Manufacturing Sustainability Assessment

May 19, 2014
Author(s)
Juyeon Lee, Yung-Tsun T. Lee
There have been many research papers focused on development of guidelines, indicators, metrics, methods, tools, and systems – all related to sustainability performance assessment. However, manufacturing companies have difficulty in finding papers that are

AN INTEGRATED APPROACH TO INFORMATION MODELING FOR THE SUSTAINABLE DESIGN OF PRODUCTS

May 19, 2014
Author(s)
Paul W. Witherell, Douglas Eddy, Ian Grosse, Sundar Krishnamurty, Jack Wileden, Kemper Lewis
The design of more sustainable products can be best accomplished in a tradeoff-based design process that methodically handles conflicting objectives. Such conflicts are often seen between, environmental impact, cost, and product performance. To support

Processes Analytics Formalism for Decision Guidance in Sustainable Manufacturing

May 19, 2014
Author(s)
Alexander Brodsky, Guodong Shao, Frank H. Riddick
This paper introduces National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)'s Sustainable Process Analytics Formalism (SPAF) to facilitate the use of simulation and optimization technologies for decision support in sustainable manufacturing. SPAF allows
