The development of small aerial vehicles, both manned and unmanned is a growing market in the aviation industry. This market sector has the potential to provide cheap, environmentally friendly transport solutions for the defence purposes, law enforcement agencies and emergency and recreational vehicles. This project serves to enhance Australia's position in this market by helping a local company develop its technology in a cost effective and timely manner. The progress made in the three research aspects will also advance areas of science and technology with practical applications other than aerial vehicles.Read moreRead less
Active control of vibration in marine riser systems. Effective control of vibrations of riser/drill rigs and vessels is an important measure of the technical quality, productivity, and environmental protection from pollution of the oil and gas industry in a country. The successful completion of this project promises to put the Australian oil and gas industry in a leading position in this area. Due to the multi-disciplinary nature of this project, the development of this section of the shipbuildi ....Active control of vibration in marine riser systems. Effective control of vibrations of riser/drill rigs and vessels is an important measure of the technical quality, productivity, and environmental protection from pollution of the oil and gas industry in a country. The successful completion of this project promises to put the Australian oil and gas industry in a leading position in this area. Due to the multi-disciplinary nature of this project, the development of this section of the shipbuilding industry will also stimulate the development in many other areas such as structure dynamics, control sensors, actuators, electronics and control.Read moreRead less
