SUMMARY:Optimization of Biomimetic-Based Aircraft Wing
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\nThis webinar will discuss the numerical simulations in ANSYS Fluent software to investigate the influence of leading-edge protuberances on the wings of a NACA 2412 cross-section. Various parameters\, including different wavelengths and amplitudes of protuberances\, were explored\, mimicking humpback whale flipper characteristics. The simulations were conducted at a velocity of 65 m/s in a turbulent flow domain with a chord-based Reynolds number of 2.29*105\, using the SST k-ω models. \nThe results revealed notable differences in the aerodynamic performance of wings with leading-edge protuberances compared to smooth leading edges. Wings with protuberances demonstrated a higher lift coefficient (CL) and lower drag coefficient (CD) at the post-stall region. \nTwo specific cases with the best CL and CD after stall angle (16 degrees) were identified for optimization. The optimized wing showcased remarkable improvements in aerodynamic performance over the baseline and other wing configurations. It achieved a 23.33% increase in lift\, outperforming all other defined wings. Furthermore\, it reduced drag by 16% and enhanced the lift-to-drag ratio by 35% compared to the baseline wing. These results show that leading-edge protuberances (LEPs) may be able to improve wing performance after stalling. This research sheds light on the potential benefits of incorporating LEPs in wing design\, offering valuable insights for applications in aerodynamics and bio-inspired engineering. \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\nFundamental knowledge about 3D simulation in ANSYS Fluent\nFundamental knowledge about the optimization using Minitab software\nIn-depth knowledge regarding the aerodynamic performance characteristics of an aircraft wing\n\nRelated courses\nThis webinar/topic relates to our school of Mechanical Engineering particularly found in the following courses: \n\nGraduate Certificate in Mechanical Engineering\nGraduate Diploma of Engineering (Mechanical)\nOnline – Master of Engineering (Mechanical)\n\nAbout the presenter\n\nDr. Mahadi Masud – EIT Lecturer \nMahadi Hasan Masud received his BSc and MSc in Mechanical Engineering from Rajshahi University of Engineering & Technology (RUET). He is now serving as a faculty member in Mechanical Engineering of RUET. Moreover\, he has received his PhD from RMIT University\, Melbourne\, Australia.

SUMMARY:Study on Microstructure Characteristics of Steel in Two-Body Abrasive Wear
DESCRIPTION:The live presentation of this event has already taken place. \nPlease view the PDF slides here or watch the video recording below:\n \nA detailed investigation was conducted on influence of microstructure constituents in two-body abrasive wear. A CSM high temperature pin-on-disc tribometer was extensively employed to simulate two-body abrasive wear. In this study\, four microstructures (e.g. bainite\, pearlite\, martensite and tempered martensite) with similar hardness levels displayed a distinct response towards the abrasive behaviour. Despite similar hardness levels\, the unique friction coefficient curve of the microstructures was ascribed to the characteristics of the microstructure constituents. The study revealed that the multiphase microstructures (bainite and pearlite) revealed better abrasion resistance than the single-phase microstructures (martensite and tempered martensite). Moreover\, the two-body abrasive wear induced significant microstructural changes (i.e. severe deformation) in their sub-surface layers (i.e. region beneath the abraded surface). Surface profile and topography techniques highlighted the quantum of material loss in the microstructures. The distinct material removal mechanisms (e.g. ploughing and cutting) in the microstructures were observed through exclusive single wear track analysis. In general\, microstructures with a combination of brittle and ductile metallurgical phases exhibiting work-hardening behaviour was more beneficial in abrasive conditions. However\, there was a need to identify a laboratory abrasive wear test that can simulate the actual industrial test conditions. \nTo address this\, a high strain abrasive wear testing was chosen\, where a robust indenter abraded the microstructure under the action of a normal load\, which resulted in a groove. This isolated the effect of abrasive environment characteristics (i.e. deterioration of abrasive particles) in the abrasion\, thereby focusing on the microstructure response. This resulted in a thorough understanding of the material removal mechanisms occurring in microstructures during abrasion. The groove characteristics (i.e. degree of penetration\, Dp) were significantly influenced by the microstructure constituents and the normal load. As expected\, multi-phase microstructures (bainite and pearlite) demonstrated better abrasion resistance than the single-phase microstructures (martensite and tempered martensite). In general\, the microstructures experienced ploughing material removal mechanism at low loads (i.e. 200 N to 500 N)\, whereas\, cutting was more dominant at relatively high loads (above 1000 N). Additionally\, a positive correlation between the work-hardening behaviour and the abrasive wear resistance of microstructures was observed through the subsurface\nlayer characterization. This proved to be the driving force for a future study in the abrasive wear behaviour of ultra-high strength bainitic steels (also known as nanobainitic steel). The presence of retained austenite in their microstructure matrix is known for superior work-hardening behaviour through TRansformation Induced Plasticity (TRIP) effect. \nKey takeaways from this webinar: \n\nThe microstructural constituents influenced their abrasive wear behaviour.\nSub-surface investigations revealed unique abrasive response of the microstructures.\nThe work hardening behaviour and distinct material removal mechanisms were observed in the microstructures.\n\nPresenter: Dr. Balaji Trichy Narayanaswamy \nBalaji is an Interdisciplinary Lecturer at University of Sydney. In his current role\, he focuses on industry and community project units with a strong focus on real-world problems. He comes from Mechanical and Materials background.

SUMMARY:HVAC System Sizing Based on Computational Fluid Dynamics
DESCRIPTION:The live presentation of this event has already taken place. \nPlease view the PDF slides here or watch the video recording below:\n \nThis webinar focuses on conducting a computational fluid dynamic simulation to understand the performance of a HVAC system of a building. The main objective of this webinar is to demonstrate how computational methods can be used to identify the locations of cooling flow inlets and the return air outlets for ensuring optimal ventilation in buildings. \nSuccessful design involves accurately estimating the heat generated in the room and how cold air from the HVAC system can absorb this heat and relieve it from the building. Developing an experimental set up to accurately mimic a HVAC system is a challenging task. With computational tools\, it is relatively easy to simulate the same flow phenomena on a computer. Once a computational setup is created to replicate a given nozzle profile\, the same setup can be used to understand the system’s performance for varying inlet flow rates and heat inputs into the room. Velocity and temperature fields at regions of interest can then be extracted to identify regions of good and poor ventilation and use this information to plan the room layout accordingly. \nIn the webinar\, we will generate a geometry in Ansys Spaceclaim and generate a structured mesh using blocking technology. The mesh will be solved in Ansys Fluent to capture relevant flow phenomena. \nKey takeaways from this webinar: \n\nUsefulness of simulation in solving problems difficult to reproduce experimentally.\nVisualization of complex flow patterns in a HVAC system.\nUsefulness of Ansys CFD workflow to simulate complex fluid dynamic flow fields in indoor spaces.\n\nPresenter: Mr Vijay Kumar Veera\, EIT Unit Lecturer and Course Coordinator \nVijay Kumar Veera is a qualified Aerospace Engineer with over 12 years of experience in using CFD methodologies to simulate industrial and academic problems. He has obtained an M.Phil degree in Engineering from Cambridge University in UK and has M.Tech and B.Tech degrees from Indian Institute of Technology in Bombay and Madras respectively. His expertise is in capturing Fluid flow phenomena using computational methods. He has worked with major organizations in Australia and UK with Red Bull F1\, Mercedes F1\, Boeing\, Airbus\, Thales\, DSTO\, Fisher & Paykel some of the notable clients. \nIn his current role as a Unit lecturer and Course Coordinator at EIT\, he has been instrumental in developing lecture materials for teaching Advanced fluid dynamics and Aerodynamics units for students pursuing Master of Mechanical Engineering. His passion is in teaching computational fluid dynamic techniques for solving real world problems\, which are becoming highly popular with professional engineers wanting to advance their careers to the next level.

SUMMARY:Little Penguin Wing for the Application in Micro Aerial Vehicles
DESCRIPTION:The live presentation of this event has already taken place. \nPlease view the PDF slides here or watch the video recording below:\n \nUnmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are aircraft capable of hovering without pilots. Growing interest in Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) arises from advances in small electronics and the need for quick responses in urban military scenarios. MAVs require expertise in aerodynamics\, propulsion\, flight control\, communications\, autonomy\, payload\, and integration. Aerodynamics presents significant challenges for MAVs\, especially at low Reynolds numbers where conventional aerofoils cause high drag and early stall in fixed-wing MAVs. Despite this\, MAVs often need high-angle-of-attack (AOA) capabilities for reconnaissance. \nTo address this\, the wing of a penguin was tested due to its advantageous characteristics during cruises and dives. Penguins exhibit efficient wing usage during near-surface swimming and ascents\, prompting investigation into their fixed foil aerodynamics for MAVs operating at Re≤10^5. Existing MAVs\, similar in size to certain penguin species\, also support this approach. Numerical and experimental analysis of penguin wings at steeper AOAs was conducted to understand their fluid dynamics performance. \nKey takeaways from this webinar: \n\nThe current issues and probable solutions regarding Micro Aerial Vehicles.\nHow biomimetics could be implemented in the field of aerodynamics.\nHow the simulations of penguin wing could be done efficiently in order to understand it’s feasibility of biomimetic applications.\n\nPresenter: Dr. Mahadi Hasan Masud\, EIT Lecturer \nMahadi Hasan Masud received his PhD from RMIT University\, Melbourne\, Australia\, and he has completed his BSc and MSc in Mechanical Engineering from Rajshahi University of Engineering & Technology (RUET)\, Bangladesh. He is now serving as a faculty member(assistant professor-on study leave) in the department of Mechanical Engineering of RUET. In addition\, he is also working as a part-time lecturer at Engineering Institute of Technology (EIT)\, Melbourne\, Australia. \nMasud’s research focus is on biomimetics\, flapping flight and innovative food drying. He authored three popular books from the springer-nature publication\, 15 book chapters\, 35 refereed journal publications\, and more than 10 international conference publications (Citations: 1150\, H index:16). Most of his journal articles are published in highly ranked journals. He is a regular reviewer of several high-ranked journals of prominent publishers\, including Elsevier\, Springer\, Nature and Taylor and Francis. \n\nJoin us to learn more at this must-attend event for engineering professionals and aspiring engineers alike. \nReserve your spot at this free webinar today! \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.\n\nPlease note: the time stated on this event is in UTC+8.

SUMMARY:Data-Centric Evolving Power Grid (repeat)
DESCRIPTION:The live presentation of this event has already taken place. \nPlease view the PDF slides here or watch the video recording below: \n\n\n  \nThe privatized renewables-driven distributed grid is moving away from a utility-centric architecture and towards an end user-centric architecture. This shift is not going to be limited to any single segment or sub-sector. It is going to be much broader and even potentially total\, simultaneously affecting several seemingly disparate segments. \nThe future power grid is going to be “multilateral.” The delivery in and out of the grid is going to get more complicated: utilities and developers needed to place solar or wind onto the most appropriate nodes\, industrial customers need to understand which of their sites are most suitable for renewables and\, more and more individuals will be placing solar panels on their rooftops and parking an EV in their garages. All these different actors would need to communicate with each other\, trade with each other. and ultimately\, balance each other so that the grid would be able to continue to function reliably. The coal- and gas-fired generation will be replaced by renewables and the core issue with renewables\, is intermittency; the sun doesn’t always shine and the wind doesn’t always blow. All of a sudden\, the power sector would need to become a lot better at the weather forecasting business. This requires highly sophisticated – not generic – AI and machine learning software. Likewise\, on the demand side\, the coming wave of EVs – even if\, realistically\, it might need to wait until sufficient charging infrastructure is built – is introducing an entirely new and volatile source of demand. As sources of both supply and demand increasingly fragment\, participants need to look outside of their own organizations to collate and make sense of these new data streams in real-time. No one player holds all the cards anymore: that’s the nature of the multilateral grid. This is thus heavily reliant on first generating the most comprehensive data and analytics possible. \nKey takeaways from this webinar: \n\nCustomer and data-centric design\nEnergy Transition\nData analytics\, probabilistic modeling\, and real-time risk-limiting control\n\nPresenter:\nProfessor Akhtar Kalam\, EIT Academic Board Deputy Chair\nBSc\, BScEng\, MS\, PhD\, FIET\, CEng\, FAIE\, FIEAust\, CPEng\, NER\, APEC Engineer\, IntPE(Aus)\, PEV\, MCIGRE\, Life Senior Member of IEEE. \n\nHead of External Engagement and Professor at Victoria University\nChair and Deputy Chair of TCA and EIT Academic Board\, respectively\nDirector of Al-Kalam Educational Solutions\nEditor-in-Chief of AJEEE\nDistinguished Professor/Adjunct Faculty in Australia\, India\, Malaysia and Oman\nPublished over 610 publications in his area of expertise and written over 29 books in the area\nSupervised 49 postgraduate research students to graduation consisting of 38 PhDs and 11 MEng.

SUMMARY:Intellectual Property in Engineering
DESCRIPTION:The live presentation of this event has already taken place. \nPlease view the PDF slides here or watch the video recording below: \n\n\nIt would perhaps be an exaggeration if I say that technology and law are two very closely related fields of practice. However\, engineers need to be aware of intellectual property laws and regulations to protect their own creations and respect the rights of others. This introductory webinar will provide a foundational understanding of IP\, including patents\, copyrights\, trademarks\, and design rights. It will also ensure that engineers have the basic knowledge necessary to navigate the complex world of intellectual property. \nAdditionally\, the webinar will cover ethical considerations as well as information on additional resources. \nPresenter: Dr. Arti Siddhpura\, EIT Lecturer \nArti has been in academia since 2003 teaching various Mechanical Engineering courses at Australian and overseas universities. Arti is an expert in the development and delivery of various mechanical engineering units at bachelor’s and master’s levels in synchronous and asynchronous mode with a strong focus on proven adult learning theories. Arti has been working with EIT since 2017 as a lecturer in mechanical engineering and has been teaching and supervising engineering students at Bachelor\, Master\, and Doctorate levels. Arti has developed a keen interest in the field of intellectual properties in engineering and academia since she was involved in the development of intellectual property-based units for the Doctor of Engineering program which she has been delivering for the last couple of years. \nArti has accomplished her PhD in Mechanical Engineering through the University of Western Australia where she has won several academic awards to supplement her work and resultant publications. Her research interests lie in the area of condition monitoring and automation with a focus on improving unmanned tool wear prediction methods. \n\nJoin us to learn more at this must-attend event for engineering professionals and aspiring engineers alike. \nReserve your spot at this free webinar today! \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.\n\nPlease note: the time stated on this event is in Australian Western Standard Time (AWST).
