A Lightweight Approach for Airborne Wind Turbine Drivetrains (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jaen Sola, P., Mcdonald, A. S., & Oterkus, E. (2015, November). A Lightweight Approach for Airborne Wind Turbine Drivetrains. Presented at European Wind Energy Association, EWEA 2015

Buoyant airborne wind turbines are devices capable of harnessing stronger winds at higher altitudes and with their automated and rapidly deployable system they are suited to niche applications such as emergency power generation. Although much of the... Read More about A Lightweight Approach for Airborne Wind Turbine Drivetrains.

The manufacture of gas turbine compressor components by Metal Injection Moulding (2015)
Thesis
Russell, A. D. The manufacture of gas turbine compressor components by Metal Injection Moulding. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/9827

Gas turbine compressor components manufactured from nickel base alloys have traditionally been precision die forged in sequential thermo-mechanical processing operations in order to achieve the desired geometry and mechanical properties.
Metal Injec... Read More about The manufacture of gas turbine compressor components by Metal Injection Moulding.

Weather impact on containership routing in closed seas: A chance-constraint optimization approach (2015)
Journal Article
Kepaptsoglou, K., Fountas, G., & Karlaftis, M. G. (2015). Weather impact on containership routing in closed seas: A chance-constraint optimization approach. Transportation Research Part C : Emerging Technologies, 55, 139-155. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trc.2015.01.027

Weather conditions have a strong effect on the operation of vessels and unavoidably influence total time at sea and associated transportation costs. The velocity and direction of the wind in particular may considerably affect travel speed of vessels...
