Abstract: | Disassembly planning is essential to justify end-of-life recycling of industrial products, its goal being an optimal tradeoff between process cost and material recoverable value. A framework for solving the computer- aided disassembly planning problem is proposed in this paper. The problem is defined as the constrained maximization of a profit rate function of time, which can be calculated for any candidate sequence of dismantling operations. |
