Routine maintenance of commercial aircraft requires reliable detection and repair of corrosion to ensure structural integrity. Post-repair inspections are commonly performed using manual ultrasonic point measurements of residual thickness, a process that is time-intensive and constrained by limitations …

Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection (FPI) is a widely used inspection technique in the aerospace industry. Because of the aging aerospace sector, and because of the safety-criticality of the inspection, aerospace companies aim to automate (parts of this) inspection process to support inspectors. This paper …

The infrastructure we build is increasingly complicated and automated. After it is designed and constructed, it needs to be maintained and updated to sustain its functioning for far longer than the careers of its designers and builders. Continuity of engineering knowledge is necessary to make future …

''This paper aims to analyze the behavior of experimentally tested unreinforced masonry walls subjected to in-plane loading. Monotonic load analyses are conducted using FEM and AEM modeling approaches. The models presented here are based on the assumption of both unit and mortar joints modeled as solid …

This research addresses the importance of sustainability in shipping beyond fuel selection, stressing the need for responsible material usage in vessel construction and maintenance. Transitioning to a circular economy is crucial for sustainable waste management in the industry, yet current ship design …

This opinion chapter discusses the advantages of foresight under a systemic macrocognitive approach for the safe and effective deployment of technological innovations in aviation. Although microcognitive studies aid the understanding of interfaces between innovative systems and their users, this chapter …

Optimization of aviation maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) operations has been of high interest in recent years for both the knowledge institutions and the industrial community as a total of approximately $70 billion has been spent on MRO activities in 2018 which represents around 10% of an airline’s …

Abstract: We present a ‘work in progress’ paper, based on a master’s thesis, focusing on data ownership models within data governance. The literature shows that there is a lack of practically useful aides or instruments for establishing a good, made-to-measure data ownership model for enterprises, as …

With the adoption of values, principles, practices, tools and processes from Agile, Lean, and DevOps, knowledge preservation by leaving out documentation has become a serious issue. We identify two questions that are relevant for knowledge acquisition and distribution considering design decisions, rationale, …
