Fun4Design

Project Title:

Function-oriented, multi-material Design of sustainable mechanical systems.

Project Goal:

The overall goal of Fun4Design is the function-oriented, multi-material design of sustainable mechanical systems. It investigates the engineering process to describing and integrating the functions of sustainability and recyclability during the conceptual design phase of multi-material systems without hindering the main structural function. Fun4Design aims to provide the engineers a scientific, consistent and easy to use design method to meet the challenges of Greece 2.0 and SRIA objectives of sustainable growth. Fun4Design contributes positively to global societal challenges, by providing an innovative design engineering solution, which: i) describes and includes sustainability and recyclability as a function to the early phase of design of composite and hybrid components, ii) identifies the interactions and maps them using state-of-the-art ML-algorithms and iii) provides a decision-making tool to accelerate acceptance and implementation to design engineers during the concept design phase.
