To promote the reuse and recycling of automotive body parts, it is necessary that the parts are easy to disassemble, requiring small amounts of time and effort to remove, and that their decrease in properties are minimized when recycled. To solve these problems, attention has been focused on component designs that consider cost efficiency when dismantling and transitioning to using one type of material (monomaterialization) for multiple components with different functions. Therefore, we aim to establish mathematical analysis methods to search for optimal disassembly procedures and evaluate disassembly performance and structural design methods to realize the desired mechanical properties of monomaterial components through ingenuity of structure.
