Summary
Topology optimisation for advanced engineered nanostructures. Advanced technological innovation requires extraordinary material properties, which can be generated directly from engineered nanostructures by manipulating surface plasmon resonances. The project will develop a new computational method for nanostructural design and expect to benefit aerospace, biomedical, optical and energy engineering fields.
Optimised flush repairs for dissimilar composite material systems. The outcome of this research project will overcome a major technological challenge when designing repairs for dissimilar composite material systems, which are being utilised at an increasing pace in a multitude of industries. This new technological capability will help to improve the competitiveness of the Australian aerospace industry.
