Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part B

The Modified Varestraint Transvarestraint (MVT) test was used to investigate the solidification cracking susceptibility of an unstabilised, a Nb-stabilised and two (Ti + Nb) dual-stabilised ferritic stainless steels. Two different welding speeds of 6 and 3 mm/s using autogenous gas tungsten arc welding were employed. At the welding speed of 6 mm/s, the high-content (Ti + Nb) steel was resistant and the Nb-stabilised steel was marginally susceptible to solidification cracking. At the welding speed of 3 mm/s, the Nb and the high (Ti + Nb) steels were found to be marginally susceptible to solidification cracking while the unstabilised and low-content …

Effect Of Austenisation Temperature On Bainite Transformation Below Martensite Starting Temperature, Junyu Tian, Guang Xu, Zhengyi Jiang, Qing Yuan, Guanghui Chen, Haijiang Hu

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part B

Effects of austenisation temperature on martensite and bainite transformation behaviour, microstructure, and mechanical properties of a bainitic steel austempered below martensite starting temperature were investigated in this study. Results show that the amount of athermal martensite gradually increased with the increase of austenisation temperature, whereas the amounts of bainite and retained austenite initially increased and then decreased, resulting in the trend of the first increase and then decrease in the product of tensile strength and elongation. In addition, the transformation rate of isothermal bainite after athermal martensite formation revealed a trend of deceleration and then acceleration with austenisation temperature at …

Analysis Of A Main Cabin Ventilation System In A Jack-Up Offshore Platform Part I: Numerical Modelling, Yingchun Xie, Zepeng Zheng, Huibin Wang, Zhen Xu, Guijie Liu, Reza Malekian, Zhixiong Li

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part B

This work aims to measure the thermodynamics of a main cabin ventilation system in a JU-2000E jack-up offshore platform. A three-dimensional (3D) physical model of the ventilation system was established, and the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software (ANSYS FLUENT) was used to calculate the model thermodynamics. Numerical analysis was performed to investigate the influence mechanisms of the ventilation factors such as ventilation temperature and volume on the ventilation performance. The analysis results demonstrate that (1) top-setting of the exhaust vents is more effective than the side-setting in terms of high temperature reduction, (2) small ventilation temperature and volume can improve …

Unusual Competitive And Synergistic Effects Of Graphite Nanoplates In Engine Oil On The Tribofilm Formation, The Sang Pham, Shanhong Wan, Anh Kiet Tieu, Ming Ma, Hongtao Zhu, Hong Huynh Nguyen, David R. G Mitchell, Mitchell John Bromley Nancarrow

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part B

To exploit the improved efficiency from formulated oil modified with graphite nanoplates (GNP), it is important to understand how GNP behave alongside conventional additives such as zinc dialkyl dithiophosphates (ZDDP). The results in this work demonstrate unusual tribological responses of engine oil due to GNP additions, which cannot be explained by the traditionally low shearing mechanism between graphene layers in GNP. A competitive and synergistic effect of GNP on tribofilm formation is proposed for this unusual friction and wear behavior. The presence of GNP modifies the tribofilm formation and spontaneously creates alternate hard and soft regions from the microscopic view …

Comprehensive Analysis Of The Effect Of Ausforming On The Martensite Start Temperature In A Fe-C-Mn-Si Medium-Carbon High-Strength Bainite Steel, Junyu Tian, Guanghui Chen, Yaowen Xu, Zhengyi Jiang, Guang Xu

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part B

The comprehensive effect of strain and ausforming temperature on the martensite start temperature (M_S) of a medium-carbon bainite steel was investigated by thermal simulation, optical microscope, scanning electron microscope, etc. It is already known that small strain increases the M_S, while larger strain decreases the M_S. However, the effect of ausforming temperature on the MS has not been reported and clarified. In this study, the concepts of critical strain (ε_c) and saturated strain (ε_s) are proposed. The M_S at the critical strain is equal to the M_S of …

Metamorphic Relations For Detection Of Performance Anomalies, Owen Johnston, Darryl C. Jarman, Jeffrey Berry, Zhi Q. Zhou, Tsong Yueh Chen

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part B

Metamorphic relations can be used to improve performance testing by comparing successive runs of the software under test. We examine one such metamorphic relation for page load times, which we used to discover and repair a race condition in the Adobe Experience Platform Launch Tag Manager. Histograms for page load times had different modalities, which alerted us to the presence of the bug. We discuss the need for performance measures in addition to the popular mean and standard deviation. We describe two approaches to automatically determine modality: Gaussian Mixture Models and the Silverman Test for Multimodality. Metamorphic relations which involve …

Review Of Current Method To Determine Outburst Threshold Limits In Australian Underground Coal Mines, Dennis J. Black

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part B

Desorption rate index (DRI) was presented to the Australian underground coal industry in 1995 as a means for determining outburst threshold limits for Australian coal seams. DRI is a measure of the gas volume released from a coal sample in the first 30 s of crushing during the Q3 stage of gas content testing, multiplied by the ratio between measured Q3 and QM. Relationships were identified between QM and DRI for both CO 2 and CH 4 rich coal samples collected from the Bulli Seam at West Cliff Colliery and that identified relationship was referred to as the Bulli Seam …

Dose plans were generated using MRI contoured anatomy with pseudo-CT for dose calculation. A conventional CT scan was acquired …

Beam-Based Analog Self-Interference Cancellation With Auxiliary Transmit Chains In Full-Duplex Mimo Systems, Anh Tuyen Le, Le Chung Tran, Xiaojing Huang, Y J. Guo

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part B

Analog domain cancellation has been considered as the most important step to mitigate self-interference (SI) in fullduplex (FD) radios. However, in FD multiple-input multipleoutput (MIMO) systems, this method faces a critical issue of complexity since the number of cancellation circuits increases quadratically with the number of antennas. In this paper, we propose a beam-based radio frequency SI cancellation architecture which uses adaptive filters to significantly reduce the complexity. Data symbols for all the beams are up-converted by auxiliary transmit chains to provide reference signals for all adaptive filters. Hence, the number of cancellation circuits becomes proportional to the number of …

A Novel Data Forwarding Strategy For A Drone Delay Tolerant Network With Range Extension, Saeid Iranmanesh, Raad Raad

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part B

Amazon, Uber Eats, and United Parcel Service (UPS) are planning to launch drone delivery services in the near future. Indeed, recently, Google has received Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approval for its Wings delivery platform. Amazon claims that a drone logistics network is more cost-efficient and quicker than a motor vehicle delivery network. In this paper, we propose a data delivery service by the drone network in addition to parcel delivery. We propose Heuristic Flight Path Planning (HFPP) that plans a drone's flight path based on parcel delivery destination as well as data delivery destinations (waypoints). We further extend the solution …

Variance And Volatility Swaps Under A Two-Factor Stochastic Volatility Model With Regime Switching, Xinjiang He, Song-Ping Zhu

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part B

In this paper, the pricing problem of variance and volatility swaps is discussed under a two-factor stochastic volatility model. This model can be treated as a two-factor Heston model with one factor following the CIR process and another characterized by a Markov chain, with the motivation originating from the popularity of the Heston model and the strong evidence of the existence of regime switching in real markets. Based on the derived forward characteristic function of the underlying price, analytical pricing formulae for variance and volatility swaps are presented, and numerical experiments are also conducted to compare swap prices calculated through …

A Gradient Flow For The P-Elastic Energy Defined On Closed Planar Curves, Shinya Okabe, Paola Pozzi, Glen Wheeler

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part B

We study the evolution of closed inextensible planar curves under a second order flow that decreases the p-elastic energy. A short time existence result for p ∈ (1 , ∞) is obtained via a minimizing movements method. For p= 2, that is in the case of the classic elastic energy, long-time existence is retrieved.

Pricing Credit Default Swaps With Parisian And Parasian Default Mechanics, Wenting Chen, Xinjiang He, Sha Lin

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part B

This paper proposes Parisian and Parasian default mechanics for modeling the credit risks of the CDS (credit default swap) contracts. Unlike most of the structural models used in the literature, our new model assumes that the default will occur only if the price of the reference asset stays below a certain level for a pre-described period of time. To work out the corresponding CDS price, a general pricing formula containing the unknown no-default probability is derived first. It is then shown that the determination of such a probability is equivalent to the valuation of a Parisian or Parasian down-and-out binary …

Factorisation Of Equivariant Spectral Triples In Unbounded Kk-Theory, Iain G. Forsyth, Adam C. Rennie

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part B

We provide sufficient conditions to factorise an equivariant spectral triple as a Kasparov product of unbounded classes constructed from the group action on the algebra and from the fixed point spectral triple. We show that if factorisation occurs, then the equivariant index of the spectral triple vanishes. Our results are for the action of compact abelian Lie groups, and we demonstrate them with examples from manifolds and θ-deformations. In particular, we show that equivariant Dirac-type spectral triples on the total space of a torus principal bundle always factorise. Combining this with our index result yields a special case of the …

A Rigidity Theorem For Ideal Surfaces With Flat Boundary, James A. Mccoy, Glen Wheeler

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part B

We consider surfaces with boundary satisfying a sixth-order nonlinear elliptic partial differential equation corresponding to extremising the L²-norm of the gradient of the mean curvature. We show that such surfaces with small L²-norm of the second fundamental form and satisfying so-called flat boundary conditions are necessarily planar.

A Magnetorheological Elastomer Rail Damper For Wideband Attenuation Of Rail Noise And Vibration, Shuaishuai Sun, Jian Yang, Tanju Yildirim, Donghong Ning, Xiaojing Zhu, Haiping Du, Shiwu Zhang, Masami Nakano, Weihua Li

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part B

The noise and vibration effects of rails can have a significant impact on the environment surrounding the railways. Rail dampers are elements that are attached to the sides of the rail and can improve the track decay rate of rail and then enhance the rails' ability to attenuate noises and vibrations. However, in practical applications, the most efficient rail damper design still cannot adjust its own parameters to adapt to different requirements because their stiffness and damping are fixed after designed. In this work, a tunable magnetorheological elastomer rail damper that works on the principle of a dynamic vibration absorber …

Development And Evaluation Of A Highly Adaptive Mrf-Based Absorber With A Large Effective Frequency Range, Jian Yang, Shuaishuai Sun, Donghong Ning, Zhixiong Li, Lei Deng, Matthew Christie, Haiping Du, S Zhang, Weihua Li

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part B

This work developed an MRF-based absorber aiming at using the controllable storage modulus (stiffness) of MRF in its pre-yield region to achieve a wide natural frequency variation range. In the characterization test, its damping and stiffness properties in response to different amplitude and magnetic fields were explored. A sweep frequency test was then conducted to obtain the frequency shift property of the MRF absorber and the testing results demonstrate that its relative change rate of natural frequency is high up to 1986%. A mathematical model was built to predict the resonance shifting performance of the MRF absorber under different currents. …

Parameter Optimization Of Adaptive Flux-Weakening Strategy For Permanent-Magnet Synchronous Motor Drives Based On Particle Swarm Algorithm, Wei Xu, Moustafa Magdi Ismail, Yi Liu, Md Rabiul Islam

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part B

Operating in the high-speed range is necessary for high-performance permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drives. However, due to the back electromotive force effect, the PMSM is approaching the voltage limit at field decreasing scope. This paper presents a new flux-weakening scheme along with an improved vector control strategy to alleviate the influence of this problem. Control parameters of the anti-windup proportional and integral (AWPI) controller are optimized off-line in relying on an adaptive velocity particle swarm optimization (AVPSO) algorithm. The AVPSO algorithm considers the summation of AWPI measurement error which is the objective function of the optimization problem without knowing the …

The Simultaneous Mitigation Of Slow And Fast Voltage Fluctuations Caused By Rooftop Solar Pv By Controlling The Charging/Discharging Of An Integrated Battery Energy Storage System, Prabha Ariyaratna, Kashem M. Muttaqi, Danny Sutanto

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part B

Both slow and fast voltage fluctuations in the connected low voltage (LV) distribution feeder are caused by intermittent variations in solar PV power output, in addition to the variations in load demand where rooftop solar photo-voltaic (PV) unit penetration is higher. A single energy storage system integrated with the solar PV unit can mitigate these fluctuations in voltage profile. A novel analytical approach to mitigate both slow and fast voltage fluctuations simultaneously in the connected LV distribution feeder is proposed, which has not explicitly been addressed in the literature. Integrated battery energy storage systems will be dynamically charged during mid-day …
