Additive Manufacturing (AM) is becoming the leading innovation in many fields due to its ease in generating a 3D object by adding one layer of material over the other from a source of Computer Aided Design (CAD) model as input file. Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is one among the technologies available in AM, which works on material extrusion process for which the material is served in filament shape. The practice of utilizing the resources effectively by meeting the requirements of subsequent generations is internationally referred to as Sustainable Manufacturing (SM). It deals with the issues that impact the economy, society and environment. Green manufacturing approaches like reduce, reuse and recycle theories are linked with 3D Printing. In this paper research has been conducted on the studies of sustainability of the parts produced on FDM for ASTM D638 Type- IV standard tensile test specimen to optimize the process parameters for Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) material by using Design of Experiments (DOE) through Taguchi technique and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The variables considered are print speed, orientation, layer thickness and print temperature and the responses studied are energy consumption, CO2 emission, dimensional accuracy, surface roughness and mechanical properties. The primary aim of this research is to reduce the energy consumption and CO2 emission without compromising mechanical properties, in order to achieve sustainability by finding the optimum values for the input process parameters.

The adoption of supply chain management (SCM) is pivotal in boosting organizational competitiveness and performance. This study examines the relationships among SCM, firm value, company performance, and competitive advantage within the context of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia. Employing a quantitative approach, we analyzed data collected from a sample of 100 MSMEs using SmartPLS to test various hypotheses. The findings indicate that effective SCM significantly influences a firm’s value, performance, and competitive advantage. This study supports the mediating role of firm value by showcasing its robust influence on the relationship between SCM and competitive advantage. However, the mediating role of company performance on competitive advantage appears weaker. The discussion integrates relevant literature, highlighting the pivotal role of SCM strategies in enhancing productivity, fulfilling customer desires, and increasing competitiveness. This study also underscores the critical link between financial performance, value creation, and competitive advantage. Overall, this study contributes to the ongoing development of practical SCM knowledge by providing valuable insights for MSMEs seeking to navigate the challenges of an evolving business landscape.

This paper investigates the impact of dual phase latency caused by the reflection of plane waves that propagate in a swelling porous thermoelastic medium with an impedance boundary. Two transversal waves (SVS, SVF), a thermal wave (T), and two longitudinal waves (Ps and Pf) propagate with distinct velocities. Reflection coefficients are determined by the incidence of these waves, and energy ratios for reflected waves are calculated and illustrated using these amplitude ratios. In this particular instance, the current model was downsized to an LS model. It has been noted that the energy ratios acquired are significantly influenced by dual phase lag. The results that have been obtained may be beneficial in a variety of engineering problems that are related to structure.

Data processing uses SmartPLS 4.0 software, and the data analysis stages are testing the outer model and inner model, testing the inner model by carrying out validity tests, reliability tests while the inner model tests hypothesis or significance tests. The results of this research are that compensation has a positive and significant relationship to supply chain performance at the immigration office and organizational Support has a positive and significant relationship to supply chain performance at the immigration office. By implementing a fair and good compensation system, it will encourage supply chains to improve their performance. Supply chains will try to improve their performance because the better their performance, the supply chain will receive better compensation. Work motivation has a positive and significant effect on supply chain performance. Organizational support is very important for supply chain behavior. The organization has an obligation to develop a climate that supports consumer orientation.

Issues of industrial waste recycling are very relevant for the entire global scientific community. The search for technological solutions that would allow the production of high-quality materials using industrial waste will not only reduce the environmental load, but also expand the raw material base for the production of gypsum materials. The study examined the possibility of improving the surface quality of molded gypsum samples by replacing the metal mold with a plastic one and introducing a surfactant into the raw mixture. As a result of the research, it was found that the use of a surfactant and a plastic mold allows to avoid defects on the surface of the samples. At the same time, the use of a plastic mold, which has low adhesion to the citrogypsum-based binder, helps to reduce the amount of adhesion friction and optimize the raw mixture compaction process. This makes it possible to obtain samples with improved physical and mechanical characteristics (compressive strength increases by 30–85.5%, average density - by 1.7–2.7% and water absorption decreased by 1.7–16%) or lower consumption of binder up to 20% compared to samples prepared in metal mold.

Offshore oil exploration in deeper waters has necessitated the development of lighter mooring systems to replace traditional steel cable and chain platforms. This study focuses on evaluating the mechanical behavior and fatigue degradation mechanism of high modulus polyethylene (HMPE) fibers in yarn-on-yarn abrasion tests. Initial characterization tests, including linear density, rupture force, and thermal analysis, were conducted on HMPE yarns. Yarn-on-yarn abrasion tests were performed under dry, wet, and salty conditions, with varying loads, while statistical analysis examined the influence of environmental factors and load levels on yarn performance. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis provided insights into material degradation mechanisms. Results showed superior performance in freshwater-immersed yarns due to cooling and lubrication effects, while dry conditions led to material melting. SEM analysis revealed critical degradation zones, particularly in interwoven regions, where increased friction and heat concentration caused material fusion. Degradation evolution mechanisms highlighted fatigue-induced rupture of yarns, knot formation, and material melting near failure points. This comprehensive analysis enhances understanding of HMPE yarn performance and degradation in offshore mooring applications, laying the groundwork for developing advanced mooring systems capable of withstanding deep-sea environments.
