Design, implementation and evaluation of dynamic equipment exchange for the airline industry by Chua, Kah Hwee, Kek, Sei Wee, Leonardus Novianto Depari, Xiao, Xiao

“…Simulation results for a selected SIA flight route show that this new policy is able to substantially reduce the amount of in-flight equipment by up to 50%, which translates to annual savings of SGD113,000 from direct fuel costs. In addition, up to 70% of SIA’s total flight routes were found to be suitable for DEE implementation, which would contribute to tremendous potential savings if DEE is implemented across the entire airline.…”

Design considerations for a mobile robot with end effector by Zhang, Kaiyan

“…Through the analysis of different suspension system schemes, an independent suspension system is designed, which consists of a single longitudinal arm structure composed of springs and dampers. Fourthly, from the perspective of kinematics, the influence of the layout of the Mecanum wheel on the controllability of the mobile platform is calculated and analyzed, and the optimal "O" layout is determined. …”
