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. He is a passionate educator and an advocate for using real world examples in the classroom. \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: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.

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:Resistance Spot Welding and Multi-Material Automotive Design
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  \nThis webinar describes the resistance spot welding (RSW) process that is primarily used in the joining of the automotive Body in White (BiW). Automotive BiW has on average about 2000 to 5000 spot welds\, used to join different parts of the BiW made from different materials or thicknesses. The process has different parameters such as welding current\, weld time\, weld force\, and electrode diameter that individually and in combination affect the spot weld quality and mechanical strength. The strength of the individual spot weld plays a role in ensuring that it can sustain the impact load without failing and maintaining the structural stiffness and noise\, vibration\, and harshness (NVH) performance of the BIW while providing safety for passengers. \nIn recent years\, automotive structure design has moved towards multi-materials design (MMD) in creating lightweight structures\, improved crashworthiness\, and reduced CO2 emission.

SUMMARY:Effects of Harmonics on Distribution Transformer Efficiency
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\nEnergy efficiency has garnered extensive interest over the past decade. Hence\, transformer efficiency in distribution networks has been widely studied. A few researchers believe that more efficient transformers must be considered\, whereas others believe in making improvements in distribution network characteristics to be able to make the most out of distribution transformers. The advantages and disadvantages of Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs) and Light Emitted Diode (LED) Lamps from an energy perspective have been debated quite effectively in literature. As the power utilities and their customers are showing increased concern about energy efficiency and power quality\, some mixed feelings toward new household lamps exist. Thus\, the effect of harmonic distortion owing to CFLs’ and LEDs’ extensive usage was studied. \nIn this webinar\, CFL and LED are first introduced with a focus on their vital electric characteristics. Subsequently\, transformer de-rating under non-sinusoidal conditions from the standard point of view is investigated. Additionally\, the current harmonic levels of the lamps were measured using a power quality analyzer. Transformer loading was calculated and simulated for both the CFL and LED loads. Finally\, the effect of CFLs on transformer de-rating is compared to that of the LEDs. \nKey takeaway from this webinar: \n\nBe able to evaluate transformer efficiency and derating in the case of non-sinusoidal loads.\nBe able to analyze the effects of various types of lamps on transformer losses.\nA combination of CFLs and other types of lamps are recommended to minimize harmonic distortion levels.\n\nPresenter: Dr. Mohammad (Mo) Salay Naderi\, EIT Lecturer & Electric Power Systems Expert \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).

SUMMARY:Footing Design of Industrial Structures in LNG Plants
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  \nIn this webinar\, the footing design of one of the structures of an LNG plant is going to be presented to familiarize attendees with footing design concepts and considerations for industrial structures. For this design\, wind and earthquakes are the main loads the footing needs to resist. \nIt is going to be an illustrative problem based on an actual example of an Amine treater skid. Three load combinations are considered for the design as follows: \nCombo 1: 1.2G+1.2Q\nCombo 2: G+EQ\nCombo 3: 0.9G+W \nG is the dead load (structural weight at operation)\, W is the wind load which is calculated with respect to the area of the structure in each direction\, and EQ is the earthquake load which is calculated considering the weight of the structure and center of gravity. \nFor this design\, 12 independent footings are considered and the design is carried out considering the load combinations. The structural toolkit is used to conduct the design and find the footing dimensions. \nThereafter\, the footing is modeled in SPACE GASS subject to three load combinations to find out the shear and moments. Then\, the shear capacity of the concrete is checked\, and the moment reinforcement is to be calculated. Finally\, a footing drawing is given to illustrate the design. \nThis topic helps to provide a general understanding of footing design in practice. \nKey takeaway from this webinar: \n\nLearning industrial footing design concepts.\nLearning how to figure out a structure and loadings.\nLearning structural analysis using SPACE GASS and design using Structural Toolkit.\n\nPresenter: Dr. Behzad Mohammadzadeh\, EIT Lecturer \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).

SUMMARY:Data-Centric Evolving Power Grid
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\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.
