Computational analysis and design of injection stretch blow-moulded polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles. There are approximately 2.5 billion containers made each year representing 80,000 tonnes of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) in Australia. A weight reduction of each PET container will have a significant economic benefit and an environmental impact. This project aims to develop an integrated and innovative computer-aided design technology for assisting manufacturing of injection stretch ....Computational analysis and design of injection stretch blow-moulded polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles. There are approximately 2.5 billion containers made each year representing 80,000 tonnes of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) in Australia. A weight reduction of each PET container will have a significant economic benefit and an environmental impact. This project aims to develop an integrated and innovative computer-aided design technology for assisting manufacturing of injection stretch moulded PET bottles by making full use of the up-to-date computational technologies. It is expected that the research will improve the competitiveness of Australian packaging industries by developing leading-edge technology and will enhance living environment in terms of optimally designing lightweight and structurally strong PET bottles.Read moreRead less

The Laboratory is aimed at developing and evaluating advanced traffic management and advanced vehicle technologies to improve the safety and efficiency of existing transport systems. The laboratory will comprise high-end computing and traffic simulation workstations with live real-time connections to a test-bed. The live link to the test-bed is a unique feature of the proposed facility. It will provide researchers with access to field data from sensors, videos and detectors to test prototypes of systems and evaluate their performance under live traffic conditions.Read moreRead less
