Artificial intelligent system for integrated wear debris analysis and vibration analysis in machine condition monitoring. Vibration and wear debris analyses are the two main condition monitoring techniques for machinery maintenance and fault diagnosis. However, they can diagnose less than 50% of faults. A series of experimental and theoretical studies on the correlation of the two techniques will be conducted.

Vibration and wear debris analyses are the two main condition monitoring techniques for machinery maintenance and fault diagnosis. However, they can diagnose less than 50% of faults. A series of experimental and theoretical studies on the correlation of the two techniques will be conducted. This project will integrate advanced technologies including 3D microscopy, neural networks and expert systems to develop an artificial intelligent system based on the dependent and independent roles of the two condition monitoring techniques. Successful outcomes will result in an improved maintenance program and reduction in human involvement, and will provide significant economic benefit to engineering industries.Read moreRead less
Development of a fuel control system for small two-stroke engines. The two-stroke engine is well known not only for its mechanical simplicity and power-to-weight advantages, but also for its high hydrocarbon emission caused by fuel short-circuiting. Driven by new regulations, developing new technologies for small two-stroke engines to meet pollutant emission standards has become urgent. This project aims to develop a fuel control system for reducing hydrocarbon and other emissions of a two-strok ....Development of a fuel control system for small two-stroke engines. The two-stroke engine is well known not only for its mechanical simplicity and power-to-weight advantages, but also for its high hydrocarbon emission caused by fuel short-circuiting. Driven by new regulations, developing new technologies for small two-stroke engines to meet pollutant emission standards has become urgent. This project aims to develop a fuel control system for reducing hydrocarbon and other emissions of a two-stroke engine designed and produced by Australia's leading lawnmower manufacturer. The knowledge and technology developed will be broadly applicable. By reducing engine pollutant emissions and improving fuel energy efficiency, this research addresses environmental and energy efficiency imperatives.Read moreRead less
