Abstract

The future of sustainable design and manufacturing relies on successful material-process-component integration across all manufacturing sectors. This requires defining, disseminating, and implementing a new design approach and supporting tools and strategies for failure prevention and enhanced performance, reliability, and recyclability. This paper provides an overview of these concepts and their interrelations. A general perspective on design integration is first given, followed by an example of materials-process design integration for fatigue failure prevention, and a prospective view on research opportunities in these areas. The importance of consolidating the integration elements into a platform for the emerging discipline of Integrated Computational Materials Engineering is also discussed.
