NASF/AESF Foundation Research Project #121: Development of a Sustainability Metrics System and a Technical Solution Method for Sustainable Metal Finishing - 11th Quarterly Report
This NASF-AESF Foundation research project report covers the 11th quarter of project work (October-December 2022) at Wayne State University in Detroit. In this reporting period, our main effort concentrated on the continuous development of a computer-aided tool for sustainability assessment and decision making, with a focus on the coding for the decision making.
