Potentially scarce materials play an important role in many current and emerging technologies needed for a sustainable energy mobility system. This paper examines the global demand 25 potentially that would result from system is compatible with 1.5 °C target. It further analyses risk short- mid-term material shortages. To determine requirements, extensive prospective database was built up on sp...

This paper describes a generic approach for analysis of internal behavior of logistic systems based on event logs. The approach is demonstrated by an example of event data from the simulation model of an automated material handling system (MHS) in a manufacturing company. The purpose of the analysis is the identification of design and operation problems and their causes, prospectively. As a res...

Reproducible flow properties for the thermoset molded resins are necessary to insure that the manufacturing conditions used, such as mold temperature, mold pressure and cure time, consistently yield a usable final product. Lot-to-lot variations in flow properties can result in material which does not mold properly and must be rejected. One quantity which can substantially influence thermoset fl...

Supply chains in industry have a very complex structure. The influence of many parameters is not known. Therefore the control of the material flow is rather difficult. In order to recognize these relationships between the parameters, initially very simple models have to be established. For this examination a linear supply chain with 4 stages will be designed. In all stages the stock is closed-l...

energy conservation in buildings plays a vital role for sustainable development of societies and nations. although, newer buildings in developing nations are being constructed using energy conservation approach, existing buildings have higher energy demand to meet the desired comfort. excessive energy demand for cooling the built environment is a major problem over most of the arid climatic zon...
