DESIGN FOR ASSEMBLY AND SCHEDULE OPTIMIZATION FOR LARGE STRUCTURE CONSTRUCTION
The efficient construction or assembly of a large structure is a critical factor in the success of a project because of the cost and time required. The construction of a large structure is long and expensive due to the number of processes and resources required, the complexity of the processes and …

Design for Assembly (DFA) analysis and application for cold-gas thrusters of a space re-entry vehicle module
Design for Assembly (DFA) is a way of analyzing and designing, or redesigning, a product from the perspective of assembly in order to reduce cost and increase reliability and quality. A review was performed on the design of cold-gas thrusters of a space re-entry vehicle module project from MIT …

Selection and evaluation of joint types and joining processes for concurrent assembly/disassembly-based design
In designing products, Design-for-Assembly (DFA) has been successfully used for several decades to reduce lead times, processing times, and equipment overhead. Though the DFA approach results in products which are easy and efficient to assemble, such products may be difficult to disassemble and/or …

Embodied energetics : a digital design-production system for passive solar walls in Vinalhaven Island, Maine
I propose a digital design-production system to easily assemble, selectively disassemble, and reassemble novel passive solar walls. The problem statement I tackle is that all houses in Vinalhaven Island, Maine have high home-heating energy burden due to their thermally weak thin walls. Substituting …
