Accelerated Aging Chamber

Accelerated Aging Chamber
The project designed and constructed an accelerated ageing rig to enable parts to be aged under humidity and temperature or humidity and UV conditions. The project was a team effort involving a team of electrical engineers working on it for...

Accelerated Aging of Nitrile Rubber

Accelerated Aging of Nitrile Rubber
  Modelling Temperature Aging of Nitrile Rubber Rings With Step-Stress Accelerated Testing was conducted by Levin Lian for his MPE project.  Accelerated life testing (ALT) is used to determine the reliability of products by subjecting them to higher levels of stress than...

Reflective Distance Sensors in Rotating, Translating Environments

Reflective Distance Sensors in Rotating, Translating Environments
LED reflective distance sensors (LED-RDS) measure displacements in a static environment with micron precision and are a viable alternative to conventional distance sensors utilising lasers and optical bres due to their low cost and simple drive circuitry. The compact footprint and inherently...

Visualisation of Geological data using Virtual Reality technology

Visualisation of Geological data using Virtual Reality technology
This project was conducted by Zhihua (Neal) Jia with support from Dr. Tim French, Jonathan Knipsel, and Professors Durham and Hodkiewicz. Most modern Virtual Reality (VR) Technologies are capable of providing a fully  3D and immersive view of 3D objects through the...

CEED Projects

This was a big year for CEED projects. CEED are industry funded projects with academic and industry mentors. We had 3 cognitive computing CEED projects with BHP as follows.

Thomas McKeon  completed his Electrical Engineering Masters project on 'Automated data conceptualisation for decision support'.

Abdul Aziz completed his Electrical Engineering Masters project on 'Machine Learning Methods for Dynamic Dispatching in Supply Chains'.

Kaelen Sinclair completed his Computer Science Masters project on 'Developing a manufacturing ontology language framework'.
