(1) Dynamics of gears for diagnostics and noise control
(2) Application of blind source separation techniques to mechanical problems
(3) Application of cyclostationary signal analysis techniques to machine diagnostics
(4) Determination of structural dynamic properties from response measurements
(5) Diagnostics of diesel engines and other reciprocating machines.
This project will result in the publication of joint papers in each of these topics, and give material to form the basis of an application for at least one FAIR project in the area of gear noise control and diagnostics.Read moreRead less
Design of Wireless sensor and communication networks with fixed and mobile nodes. Wireless sensor and communication networks with fixed and mobile nodes are rapidly becoming essential technologies for hostile environmental monitoring, battlefield surveillance and precision agriculture. However, due to the complexities associated with interconnected design issues involving sensors, autonomous vehicles and communication protocols, even very simple networks have proven to be difficult to design. Th ....Design of Wireless sensor and communication networks with fixed and mobile nodes. Wireless sensor and communication networks with fixed and mobile nodes are rapidly becoming essential technologies for hostile environmental monitoring, battlefield surveillance and precision agriculture. However, due to the complexities associated with interconnected design issues involving sensors, autonomous vehicles and communication protocols, even very simple networks have proven to be difficult to design. This project proposes to intelligently employ higher capabilities of mobile nodes and develop methods for rapid deployment, maintenance and routing that are aware of location, energy, and security. The outcomes of this project will form the basis for design of intelligent wireless networks for defence and civilian applications.Read moreRead less

Advanced Processing for Through-the-Wall Radar Imaging. There is currently considerable interest around the world in imaging systems that can 'see' through-the-walls. This project is at the cutting edge of through-the-wall radar imaging research and technology. It will benefit both the defence and security industries, and position Australia among the leading countries in this technology, as only a handful of research teams around the world have the necessary background and expertise in this area ....Advanced Processing for Through-the-Wall Radar Imaging. There is currently considerable interest around the world in imaging systems that can 'see' through-the-walls. This project is at the cutting edge of through-the-wall radar imaging research and technology. It will benefit both the defence and security industries, and position Australia among the leading countries in this technology, as only a handful of research teams around the world have the necessary background and expertise in this area. The research outcomes will enhance the capability of the military, law enforcement, counter-terrorism, and search and rescue personnel. It will play a vital role in protecting and safeguarding Australia from terrorism and crime.Read moreRead less
Robust Beamforming for Radar Imaging. The impact of radar imaging technologies on security and search and rescue operations is indisputable. They play a vital role in safeguarding a country from terrorism and crime, protecting its borders, and predicting adverse weather patterns. Searching for survivors in disaster areas such as earthquakes and fires can greatly benefit from the proposed research. Law-enforcement officers can employ radar imaging technology to enable accurate determination of t ....Robust Beamforming for Radar Imaging. The impact of radar imaging technologies on security and search and rescue operations is indisputable. They play a vital role in safeguarding a country from terrorism and crime, protecting its borders, and predicting adverse weather patterns. Searching for survivors in disaster areas such as earthquakes and fires can greatly benefit from the proposed research. Law-enforcement officers can employ radar imaging technology to enable accurate determination of targets of interest, obstacles, weapons, victims, outlaws, and hostages inside enclosed structures or buildings. The proposed research and its findings will support the development of cutting edge radar imaging research and technology in Australia.Read moreRead less
