SUMMARY:Engineering a Safe Voyage: Overcoming Mechanical Failures and Navigational Challenges Across Bass Strait
DESCRIPTION:The live presentation of this event has already taken place. \nPlease view the PDF slides here or watch the video recording below:\n \nWebinar details\nAt the end of January this year\, Dr Peter Doe\, EIT Academic Board member\, bought a 39ft trawler style motorboat as part of his retirement plan. The boat\, John B 2\, named after the 1980’s Beach Boys song ‘The sloop John B’ was in a marina at Bateman’s Bay on the south coast of New South Wales. The plan was to motor the John B 2 to the Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania’s marina in Sandy Bay\, Hobart\, so Peter could sleep overnight after band rehearsals to avoid driving at night to his new home at Dover\, 72 km south of Hobart. \nThat was the plan. In preparation for the passage south the John B 2 was slipped\, her hull cleaned and a fresh coat of anti-fouling applied. The two 120HP Ford Lehman diesel engines were serviced\, new electronic navigation equipment was fitted\, and a professional skipper and crew hired for the delivery voyage to Hobart\, tracking down the NSW coast\, across Bass Strait\, past Flinders Island and down the East Coast of Tasmania; a distance of 483 Nautical Miles (895 km). At an average speed of 7.5 knots the voyage was expected to take 2 days and 18 hours.\nBass Strait\, between Tasmania and the mainland of Australia is a notoriously dangerous waterway. It is relatively shallow – 100 to 200m deep – and in the path of the “Roaring 40’s winds”. Many ships and lives have been lost over the years. To cross Bass Strait safely you need a seaworthy boat\, an experienced crew\, and most importantly good weather. \nThis webinar recounts the journey of the John B 2 from Batemans Bay to Hobart arriving on 1 August 2024 after six months and two unsuccessful attempts. The first sailing was abandoned at the fishing port of Eden\, only 80 NM down the NSW coast when one of the engines failed and had to be replaced. The second attempt was also abandoned when both engines choked on contaminated fuel after entering Bass Strait. In the webinar Dr Doe recounts how the engine and fuel problems were overcome. The successful outcome is a testament to his perseverance and expertise. It is also a cautionary tale for anyone planning on buying a boat. \n\nThe webinar will be recorded and will be sent out to registered attendees afterwards.\nA certificate of attendance will be provided to attendees who request one near the end of the live webinar session.\nPlease note: the time stated on this event is in UTC. You will need to convert this to your own time zone.\n\nKey takeaways from this webinar\n\nHidden Costs of Second-hand Purchases: Buying second-hand boats\, like many used items\, can come with unexpected challenges and hidden costs. The issues faced during the John B 2’s voyage underscore the importance of thorough inspections and preparation. As the Latin phrase goes\, “Caveat Emptor” — let the buyer beware.\nNavigating Challenges: The journey from Batemans Bay to Hobart was marked by engine failures and fuel contamination\, showing that even the best-laid plans can encounter setbacks. Success required perseverance\, problem-solving\, and the right expertise\, highlighting the complexities of managing a seafaring vessel.\n“It Always Seems Impossible Until It’s Done”: Despite multiple setbacks and challenges\, the eventual successful arrival of the John B 2 in Hobart demonstrates the truth of Nelson Mandela’s words. With determination\, what seems impossible can eventually be achieved\n\nRelated courses\nThis webinar/topic relates to our school of Mechanical Engineering and is particularly found in the following courses: \n\nGraduate Diploma of Engineering (Mechanical)\nGraduate Certificate in Mechanical Engineering\nOnline – Bachelor of Science (Mechanical Engineering)\nOnline – Master of Engineering (Mechanical)\nProfessional Certificate of Competency in Dual Fuel Engines\nProfessional Certificate of Competency in Onshore and Offshore Pipeline Systems\n\nTo learn more about tuition fees\, please click here. \nAbout the presenter\nProfessor Peter Doe\, EIT Academic Board Member \nDr Peter Doe retired from his position as Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering in 2003 after having headed up the University of Tasmania’s School of Engineering in Launceston and for a year\, also the Head of Architecture. Three years later he returned to full time work as Head of Engineering at the Australian College of Kuwait (ACK). As well as leading and teaching at the ACK\, he was responsible for the design and establishment of an articulation pathway from the existing diplomas in civil\, mechanical and electrical engineering to corresponding Bachelor of Engineering Technology degree courses. After returning to Hobart in 2009 he continued teaching part-time. \nFrom 2012 to 2017 he managed the School’s international engineering articulation (2+2) program and delivered engineering units locally and in China. In 2016 he was appointed Project Manager of the Office of Learning and Teaching strategic grant titled “Engineering Pathways for Regional Australia: viable learning platforms built by knowledge partnering”. In 2019 Dr Doe joined the UTAS University College as a lecturer to deliver units in the Associate Degree in Applied Technologies courses. Since December 2022 he has been a member of the Academic Board of the Engineering Institute of Technology (EIT). Dr Doe is a Fellow of the Institution of Engineers\, Australia.

SUMMARY:Predicting and Preventing Malfunctions: A Revolutionary Approach to Condition-Based Asset Performance Management (APM)
DESCRIPTION:The live presentation of this event has already taken place. \nPlease view the PDF slides here or watch the video recording below:\n \nWebinar details\nIn the renewable energy industry\, a single component malfunction can significantly impact the entire network’s performance. Asset failures in solar and wind farms can bring down a whole network of infrastructure\, affecting thousands of customers and decreasing network reliability\, costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. Therefore\, there is a strong imperative to predict and avoid malfunctions in such highly connected systems. Sophisticated reliability models using new Machine Leaning (ML) techniques are proving to be a game-changer for asset performance management. Data and artificial intelligence are being used to predict malfunctions at any future point in time and facilitate the shift to condition than time-based maintenance. Early detection and more precise information can indicate which components or equipment will need to be repaired or replaced and when. This is allowing asset managers to plan maintenance efficiently and avoid unplanned and expensive disruptions. \nIn this webinar\, we outline how machine learning (ML)\, combined with industry expertise\, can estimate the probability of failure for specific failure modes and components. The methodology illustrates a specific failure mode using a large wind farm case study\, where a significant number of component failures occurred within a short space of time. The problem is solved using a two-step solution\, firstly predicting the future probability distribution of a parameter given its current value\, and secondly\, determining the probability of the malfunction given the predicted parameter value. This allows a standardized and more accurate approach for prognosticating malfunctions of technical components\, thus determining their remaining useful life (RUL). \n\nThe webinar will be recorded and will be sent out to registered attendees afterwards.\nA certificate of attendance will be provided to attendees who request one near the end of the live webinar session.\nPlease note: the time stated on this event is in UTC. You will need to convert this to your own time zone.\n\nKey takeaways from this webinar\n\nPower system reliability\nAsset performance management (APM)\nMachine learning and POF prediction\n\nRelated courses\nThis webinar/topic relates to our school of Industrial Automation\, Instrumentation and Process Control and is particularly found in the following courses: \n\n52911WA Graduate Certificate in Internet of Things (IoT) for Engineering (Foundations)\n52886WA Advanced Diploma of Industrial Automation Engineering\n52872WA Advanced Diploma of Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering\nOnline – Bachelor of Science (Industrial Automation Engineering)\nOnline – Master of Engineering (Industrial Automation)\n\nTo learn more about tuition fees\, please click here. \nAbout the presenter\n \nDr. Naser Hashemnia\, EIT Lecturer & Principal consultant at HitachiEnergy  \nNaser is a Principal Power Electrical Engineer (PhD) with over 12 years of experience in developing and analyzing the reliability of electrical networks and conducting system studies for various industries.

DESCRIPTION:The live presentation of this event has already taken place. \nPlease view the presentation here or watch the video recording below:\n \nWebinar details\nWith society’s increasing reliance on engineered systems for functions like finance\, transport\, and communication\, any system failure\, whether from internal issues or deliberate sabotage\, it can significantly disrupt our social structure. Many systems have been designed with dependencies such as GPS timing\, data backhaul\, or mobile coverage. How resilient are these systems\, and how can the inclusion of failure modes in the design phase reduce the negative impact of system failures? \nIn 1978\, NASA scientist Donald Kessler proposed that the collision of two satellites could cause a chain reaction from the resulting debris\, potentially rendering Low Earth Orbit (LEO) unusable\, a scenario known as the Kessler syndrome. How would Western society cope with such a situation? \n\nThe webinar will be recorded and will be sent out to registered attendees afterwards.\nA certificate of attendance will be provided to attendees who request one near the end of the live webinar session.\nPlease note: the time stated on this event is in UTC. You will need to convert this to your own time zone.\n\nKey takeaways from this webinar\n\nConsider system failure in the risk analysis when designing a system.\nUnderstand that the desire for worldwide 100% data coverage may come at a cost to society as it contributes to space debris.\nRecognize that deliberate (malicious) damage to communications infrastructure may be used as a geopolitical tool by hostile agents\, negatively impacting everyday life.\n\nRelated courses\nThis webinar/topic relates to our school of Electronic Engineering\, particularly found in the following courses: \n\n52867WA Advanced Diploma of Industrial Data Communication\, Networking and IT\nProfessional Certificate of Competency in Project Management for Engineers & Technicians\n52883WA Advanced Diploma of Applied Electrical Engineering (Electrical Systems)\nBSB50420 Diploma of Leadership and Management\nBSB60420 Advanced Diploma of Leadership and Management\n\nAbout the presenter\n \nRob Howes\, Engineering Project Manager at Curtin University \nRob holds a formal qualification in Electronic Engineering.

SUMMARY:Large-Scale Evaluation of Existing Reinforced Concrete Buildings for Seismic Retrofit
DESCRIPTION:The live presentation of this event has already taken place. \nPlease view the presentation here or watch the video recording below:\n \nWebinar details\nThis study presents an alternative approach to the assessment of earthquake resistance of existing buildings and evaluation of the seismic requirement for a retrofitting process. In order to avoid the assessment of individual components of a building\, we propose evaluating it as a whole object using the nonlinear static pushover analysis. In this procedure\, the elements’ failure appears in the changes of stiffness at every pushover increment and accumulates until the total failure of a whole structure. Earthquake resistance of the building is quantified as a ratio between the total energy that the existing structure can absorb to the energy at its ideal (upgraded) state that can be estimated using the capacity curves obtained by the pushover analysis. The amount of required retrofitting can be then assessed as the rigidity that needs to be added to obtain the desired resistance. \nIn this study\, we establish the definition for the ideal capacity of an existing structure and corresponding safe displacement limits\, a procedure for the derivation of the target capacity curves and the earthquake resistance factor. \n\nThe webinar will be recorded and will be sent out to registered attendees afterwards.\nA certificate of attendance will be provided to attendees who request one near the end of the live webinar session.\nPlease note: the time stated on this event is in UTC. You will need to convert this to your own time zone.\n\nKey takeaways from this webinar\n\nThe stiffening required to achieve the ideal energy absorbing capacity defines the seismic demand.\nThis seismic demand and resistance factor depend on the structural properties of the existing structure and seismic conditions of the building location\n\nRelated courses\nThis webinar/topic relates to our school of Civil Engineering\, particularly found in the following courses: \n\nProfessional Certificate of Competency in Fundamentals of Road Construction\n52873WA Advanced Diploma of Civil and Structural Engineering\nOnline – Bachelor of Science (Civil & Structural Engineering)\nOnline – Master of Engineering (Civil: Structural)\n\nTo learn more about tuition fees\, please click here. \nAbout the presenter\n \nDr. Igor Shufrin\, EIT Lecturer & Course Coordinator – Civil Engineering \nDr Shufrin started his career as a Civil engineer and worked in construction industry for several years in Russia.
