Condition based operational risk assessment for improved aircraft operability
This paper details a new proactive function to be added to today’s line aircraft maintenance turn-around-time (TAT) process, where next flight decisions are assisted by the health assessment function of the integrated vehicle health management (IVHM) of an aircraft.

Free-leg Hexapod: A novel approach of using parallel kinematic platforms for developing miniature machine tools for special purpose operations
The paper reports on the development, calibration and exploitation of a novel configuration of parallel kinematic platform, Free-leg Hexapod (FreeHex), on which the base (fixed) platform has been removed; thus, each leg can be individually positioned on workpiece surfaces of non-flat geometries.
"Rolling-sliding, scuffing and tribocorrosion behaviour of PVD multilayer coatings for gears application”
Purpose − The aim of this work is the study the tribological behaviour and tribocorrosion resistance of newly developed multilayer PVD coatings Cr/CrN and CrN/ZrCN applied on nitrided F1272 steel for gear applications.
"Tribological behavior of nanocomposite coatings based on fullerene-like structures"
This paper presents a new group of nanocomposite coatings based on integrating inorganic fullerene-like material (IFLM) structures into conventional coating matrices.
