The architecture design today has new expressive features due to the parametric and computational modelling software, which greatly amplify the potential of language. This condition makes it possible to generate customised elements and systems through a process of cyber-physical interaction between design and architectural production. As well as the geometric constraints, dictated by manufacturing and assembly processes of materials, they can be incorporated in the generative design codes. The article examines the possibility to also include the main conditions that enable the selective disassembly of the elements and their reuse at the end of life, avoiding the generation of parts that are not remanufacturable or reusable.

For the purpose of recycling end of life product, Selective disassembly methods are most common used for dismantling the old product. Only some parts which valuable for remanufacturing or reuse are dismantled. In addition, the optimal disassembly sequence which created automatic by the computer will help to decrease the disassembly cost and increase the whole revenue of recycling process. However, the disassembly model are still cannot be composed by the computer automatic, that is, some of the work need be done manually. Especially, the priority information among the parts should be analyzed by the engineer. In this paper, an automatic method is presented by comparing the feature of the parts. And then, by extracting and analyzing mates in the assembly, the adjacent information is obtained. Adjacency information and priority information respectively expressed by adjacency matrix and influence matrix, which can be used to depict the hybrid graph model in matrix-form, achieving the automatically creation of disassembly hybrid graph model.

Abstract Since remanufacturing requires additional processes compared to the production process of new products, various factors need to be considered. First, it is necessary to decide which end-of-life (EoL) product parts/modules to use among the EoL products available for the remanufactured product. At this stage, it is crucial to understand the future customer demand and requirements for each part. Next, it is also necessary to figure out whether selective disassembly is possible to disassemble a specific target component without completely disassembling the product. With the increasing number of product designs that are difficult to disassemble, the disassembly sequence and level should be considered for the efficiency of the overall remanufacturing process. This study proposes an integrated model to (i) find configuration design suitable for remanufactured products that can maximize customer utility based on current EoL products, and (ii) establish a harvest plan that determines the optimal operations and levels. This proposed model can be used as a tool that helps product designers find the appropriate design of remanufactured products while increasing the efficiency of the remanufacturing process.

In order to protect environment, the end-of-life product should be disassembly and recycled. While selective disassembly method can be used to separate the valuable parts from the old product and used for reuse or remanufacturing. Usually there are several feasible disassembly sequences for operation; the optimal sequence is decided by operation cost. A fuzzy cost model is presented instead of the traditional quantitative cost model. The advantage of this method is that the detailed information of the end-of-life product is not needed and, the practical feasibility of selective disassembly is improved.

Bio-based materials end of life is analysed from straw builders and farming practices. This paper proposes a classification of constructive straw systems according to their selective disassembly processes. According to EN 15804 standard, end-of-life (EoL) cycle analysis scenarios are used to create Environmental Product Declarations (EPD). These data will be used: - for architectural projects conception in respect to“RE2020” new French regulation. - as an awareness-raising approach for the long term design of constructive systems.

Environmental protection legislation, consumer interest in “green” products, a trend toward corporate responsibility and recognition of the potential profitability of salvaging operations, has resulted in increased interest in product take back. However, the cost effectiveness of product take-back operations is hampered by many factors, including the high cost of disassembly and a widely varying feedstock of dissimilar products. Two types of decisions must be made, how to carry out the disassembly process in the most efficient manner to “mine” the value-added that is still embedded in the product, and then how to best utilize that value-added once it is recovered. This paper presents a method for making those decisions. The concept of a transition matrix is integrated with mixed integer linear programming to determine the extent to which products should be disassembled and simultaneously determine the optimal end-of-life (EOL) strategy for each resultant component or subassembly. The main contribution of this paper is the simultaneous consideration of selective disassembly, multiple products, and the value added that remains in each component or subassembly. Shared disassembly operations and capacity limits are considered. An example using two cell phone products illustrates application of the model. The obtained results demonstrate the most economical level of disassembly for each cell phone and the best EOL options for each resultant module. In addition, the cell phone example shows that sharing disassembly operations between different products makes disassembly more cost effective compared with the case in which each product is disassembled separately.
