Optimisation of Mass Flow Bin Design Using 3D Parametric Modelling. The storage, feeding and transfer of bulk solids are of vital importance to the resource and process industries. The current techniques used for the design of storage vessels are reliable but time consuming and limit the degree of optimisation that can be achieved. This project will develop a design methodology for bulk solids storage vessels such that it can be integrated with the parametric design system developed by Gulf Con ....Optimisation of Mass Flow Bin Design Using 3D Parametric Modelling. The storage, feeding and transfer of bulk solids are of vital importance to the resource and process industries. The current techniques used for the design of storage vessels are reliable but time consuming and limit the degree of optimisation that can be achieved. This project will develop a design methodology for bulk solids storage vessels such that it can be integrated with the parametric design system developed by Gulf Conveyor Holdings to provide a reliable, accelerated design process that provides a high degree of optimisation. This will lead to greater use of the technique in industry and a consequent increase in reliability and cost effectiveness.Read moreRead less
Predictive modelling of the incremental sheet forming process. This project will benefit Australia with the gain of fundamental understanding of an advanced manufacturing process leading to a step change from an 'art of expertise' to a scientific understanding and improvement. The innovative design software kernel developed will facilitate a step change in manufacture of complex sheet formed product, such as aircraft and vehicle panelling. This seed collaborative research with QMI Solutions and ....Predictive modelling of the incremental sheet forming process. This project will benefit Australia with the gain of fundamental understanding of an advanced manufacturing process leading to a step change from an 'art of expertise' to a scientific understanding and improvement. The innovative design software kernel developed will facilitate a step change in manufacture of complex sheet formed product, such as aircraft and vehicle panelling. This seed collaborative research with QMI Solutions and global partner, Boeing, will enhance national modelling capability in advanced metal forming, a niche market for Australian manufacturing. The new technology and research support capabilities for its adoption, will lead to new national business and export opportunities.Read moreRead less
