    The reliability of cast components is dependent on the quality of the casting process. This can be characterised by the robustness (repeatability) and specific fluid flow characteristics within the running system. During ...
  • Airport economic regulation and capital investment: lessons from the United Kingdom experience 
    Pagliari, Romano (International Center for Competitiveness Studies in the Aviation Industry, 2008-05)
    ICCSAI´s annual Fact Book is a bianually updated and synthetic reference document on competition in the air transport industry of Europe. Special attention is given to the Italian context, although these data are ...
  • Applying systems thinking and aligning it to systems engineering 
    Kasser, Joseph; Mackley, Tim (International Council on Systems Engineering, 2008-06-20)
    This is a paper on thinking about thinking. Systems engineering is an emerging discipline in the area of defining and solving problems in the manner of (Wymore, 1993). The emerging paradigm for problem solving is “systems ...
  • Formal error prediction: The evaluation of standard operating procedures in a large commercial transport aircraft 
    Li, Wen-Chin; Hsu, Yueh-Ling; Chang, Danny; Wang, Thomas; Harris, Don (Air Transport Research Society, 2009)
    This research applies the latest formal technique for human error prediction - Human Error Template (HET) - to evaluate standard operating procedures for performing a go-around in a large commercial transport aircraft. ...
  • Using the calculated Froude number for quality assessment of casting filling methods 
    Jolly, Mark R.; Reilly, C.; Green, N. R.; Gebelin, J. C. (Minerals, Metals & Materials Society, 2009)
    The reliability of cast components is dependent on the quality of the casting process. This can be characterised by the robustness (repeatability) and specific fluid flow characteristics within the running system. During ...
  • Oxide entrainment structures in horizontal running systems 
    Jolly, Mark R.; Reilly, C.; Green, N. R. (Minerals, Metals & Materials Society, 2009)
    During the transient phase of filling a casting running system surface turbulence can cause the entrainment of oxide films into the bulk liquid. Research has shown that these are detrimental to the material’s integrity. ...
  • Investigating surface entrainment events using CFD for the assessment of casting filling methods
