Abstract
The application of Life Cycle Engineering methodologies during the development of frontier and emerging technologies, such as batteries, is essential to anticipate unexpected problem shifting when mitigating current sustainability challenges. As development of such technologies is often framed in multidisciplinary research contexts, structured knowledge management of all relevant information is required. This paper introduces the concept of Knowledge Based Life Cycle Engineering to structure and link multidisciplinary knowledge, enabling a collaborative system modeling and life cycle analysis. We present the components that comprise the approach: knowledge engineering, repository and data platform; along with an implementation based on a reference ontology.
