Study of a dry fixed-vane revolving compressor by Toh, Shaun Jia Hui

“…Additionally, thrust bearings were considered as well for their extremely low coefficient of friction, which could bring down friction loss in the compressor. Results show that both PTFE and PEEK decrease overall power friction loss for the three key areas when compared with dry power friction loss results. …”

Enhancing tensile and fatigue properties of additively manufactured alloys by post-processing heat treatment by Radhakrishnan, Jayaraj

“…While the overall pore fraction determines the tensile strength of the alloy, the highly angular shape of these individual pores increase the local stress concentration, initiate fatigue cracks, and bring down the fatigue strength significantly. Although several strategies are underway to enhance the mechanical behavior of AM alloys by reducing the overall fraction of pores, none of the recent studies focused on investigating the microstructure’s potential to resist crack and improve the fatigue properties of AM alloys. …”

Data driven and learning based approaches for integrated landside airside operations optimization by Ali, Hasnain

“…Results show that the chances of missed connections can be significantly reduced by operationally maintaining higher turnaround time and minimum connection time and by bringing down delays at the airport. Specifically, by maintaining the flight turnaround time at 50 minutes, minimum connection time at 60 minutes and by containing arrival delays within 70% of the current delay spread at Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 4, transfer passenger missed connections can be prevented for almost all the flights. …”
