Lambert (industrial ecology, University of Technology, The Netherlands) and Gupta (mechanical and industrial engineering, Northeastern University) introduce disassembly modeling in the context of the entire product life cycle, incorporating material on design for disassembly, concurrent design, and reverse logistics, and discussing theories and methodologies associated with disassembly. Real-world case examples explore three main areas of application: assembly optimization, maintenance and repair, and end-of-life processing. The book will be used by researchers, mechanical and industrial engineers, and processionals involved in concurrent design.
