Effects of Exit Doors and Number of Passengers on Airport Evacuation Effeciency Using Agent Based Simulation

Many factors determine the efficiency of evacuation at an airport during emergencies. These factors are very complicated and many times, unpredictable.

Subjectivity in Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA) Severity Classification within a Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) Context

This research paper investigated subjectivity in the severity rating of failure modes within a risk analysis process. Although several risk analysis processes can be utilized, the study considered the application of Fail…

Identification of Reverse Engineering Candidates utilizing Machine Learning and Aircraft Cannibalization Data

As military aircraft continue to remain in service and age, cannibalization of parts is increasing. Proactive identification of parts that are at high risk for cannibalization will inform engineering processes such as re…
