To better understand this closed loop, it’s important and significant to model the whole loop from a system engineering point of view.
These vehicles are classified as end of life vehicles (ELVs) and are potential sources of recoverable, reusable, and recyclable materials [1].
By taking materials flow, information flow, energy flow as well as the interactions among processes into account, it’s possible to do a holistic modeling for the whole ELVs infrastructure so as to have a better understanding and to find the opportunities to improve the infrastructure from system engineering point of view.
This work expands the input and output of IDEF0 to include materials, information and energy flow (see Fig.2) in order to solve the problems of ambiguous materials, information, and energy flow in the ELVs recovery infrastructure.
From system engineering perspective, the ELVs infrastructure was divided into four sectors in this work: vehicle design, vehicle manufacturing, vehicle use and vehicle recovery (see Fig.5).

The technology of PSA(probabilistic safety assessment) based on fracture mechanics has been applied on the engineering field.
The relation expression of flexure problem between critical load and natural frequency was given to assessment the structure of the ocean engineering structure[4].
Q345 steel which is usually used on the main structure of the port cranes, belonging to middle and low strength materials has lower yield strength while its fracture toughness-KIC is relatively high.
For the purpose of applying the PFAC to the engineering, it is recommended that the 90% reliability fitting curve to be adopted as the probabilistic safety assessment.

On the interface of dissimilar materials, the compound plane is reinforced by a collinear system of absolutely rigid thin inclusions and is subjected to mechanical and thermal influences.
As a result, local stress fields with large gradients are formed around the stress concentrators of these types, which significantly affect the durable characteristics of engineering structure, in particular, building and machine-building structures in general, and their parts separately.
Due to the theoretical and practical importance of temperature stresses in the calculations of engineering structures, containing stress concentrators of the type mentioned above, large-scale studies have been carried out in this area of thermoelasticity.
Here are the coefficients of linear thermal expansion of materials of the half-planes ; are their coefficients of thermal conductivity.
