Development of a universal spot weld model for automotive FEM crash simulations
Creators: name: Khandoker Neamul, Ahsan Noman
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This thesis deals with the finite element simulation of spot welded joint in crash analysis. Spot welding is a very common joining process in the automotive industry. It is cost effective and it provides a very fast production rate of automotive body components. Despite this advantage, spot welds are very susceptible to various types of loading conditions. Therefore they are prone to failure, if not designed properly, during their service life time. Therefore it is very important to understand the behaviour of spot welds and their failure characteristics.

Generally, before the manufacturing stage, most of the automotive structural components are designed and tested in a virtual design environment. It is important to examine the crashworthiness of these body-in-white structures. To asses the crashworthiness of these structures they need to be represented correctly in virtual simulations, which necessitate the development of spot welded joint models to be included in crash analysis. Usually the models for the body-in-white structures are complicated and huge, which contains thousands of spot welded joints. Therefore a simple model for spot welded joints is desirable. Six different spot welded joint models were developed in this thesis to serve the above mentioned purpose. At the same time the simplicity issue of these developed spot weld models were also addressed, so that they can be integrated easily in a large assembly system, which consists of thousands of spot welded joints. Moreover for an effective modelling strategy, the computational costs incurred by the adopted spot weld models need also to be taken into consideration. Therefore the approach undertaken in this thesis was to study the characteristics of only one spot welded joint on a test coupon with the developed suitable spot weld nugget modelling configurations.

description: The energy cost of adaptive immune activation in endotherms is typically quantified from changes in resting metabolic rate following exposure to a novel antigen. An implicit assumption of this technique is that all variation in energy costs following antigenic challenge is due solely to adaptive immunity, while ignoring potential changes in the energy demands of ongoing bodily functions. We critically assess this assumption by measuring both basal metabolic rate (BMR) and exercise-induced maximal metabolic rate (MMR) in house sparrows before and after the primary and two subsequent vaccinations with either saline (sham) or two novel antigens (keyhole limpet haemocyanin and sheep red blood cells; KLH and SRBC, respectively). We also examined the effect of inducing male breeding levels of testosterone (T) on immune responses and their metabolic costs in both males and females. Although there was a moderate decrease in KLH antibody formation in T-treated birds, there was no effect of T on BMR, MMR or immunity to SRBC. There was no effect of vaccination on BMR but, surprisingly, all vaccinated birds maintained MMR better than sham-treated birds as the experiment progressed. Our findings caution against emphasizing energy costs or nutrient diversion as being responsible for reported fitness reductions following activation of adaptive immunity.

description: Air envelopes us in sensual effect. It can warm or chill us, it carries smell and sound; breezes stimulate the skin, and wind can literally move us; sometimes we can even taste the air.

‘Aesthetics of Air’ is an investigation into sensual and perceptual atmospheric encounters and how these can lead to a new design typology of air for interior spaces.

This research project questions the now widespread practice of controlling and standardizing interior climates, the consequence of which has been the construction of interior spaces that are hermetically sealed from their atmospheric geography and related phenomena, and largely neutralized in terms of any complex physiological experiences. The origins of this practice and the prevailing notion of ‘comfort’ are interrogated and alternative approaches, and relationships to climate and interior atmosphere, contemporary and from across history and cultures, are discussed. The project then proposes how we can form an alternative relationship to interior atmospheres and the design challenges and opportunities such an approach presents.

A key hypothesis is that the qualities of air we experience in a ‘pleasurable’ outdoor environment hold important clues as to how we can shape interior atmospheres. Through a series of projects, atmospheric phenomena and our physiological and psychological relationship to atmosphere is explored. Revealed is a surprisingly complex and dynamic atmospheric system of phenomena, which is in constant flux. It is argued that it is precisely these transient and highly randomised phenomena carrying perceptual effect that are the key to designing interior atmospheres, which are sensuous, pleasurable and engender delight.

Treatment of wastewater containing toxic halogenated phenolic compounds by immobilized horseradish peroxidase on a novel support
Creators: name: Meizler, Alon
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Halogenated phenols appear in many aspects of our lives as they are used for wood preservation, as pesticides, flame retardants, and even in computers. They are toxic, bio-accumulative and bio-retardant. However, horseradish peroxidase has been shown to be useful for polymerizing and dehalogenating them, thus reducing their toxicity. In the presence of hydrogen peroxide, HRP rapidly polymerizes phenols in aqueous solution with high selectivity. A novel glass-based support incorporating titanium dioxide for immobilizing the enzyme was developed and characterized (Tglass). Under UV irradiation it was shown to reduce the blockage of the enzyme active sites by the polymerized product and also to provide in situ production of H2O2 with little inactivation of the enzyme.

A packed bed reactor that utilized the immobilized HRP to treat 4-bromophenol (as model substrate) under UVB irradiation was shown to give 75% reduction of 4-bromophenol, 21% reduction in total organic carbon and formation of 70 µM bromide over 16 hours operation. The reactor was tested on reservoir water spiked with pentabromophenol and pentachlorophenol. The system was able to transform 98% of these halogenated phenols and to release 70% of their halogen content.

Pentachlorophenol (PCP) and/or pentabromophenol (PBP) spiked into a sample of drinking water (8 and 10 mg L-1, respectively) was treated by the HRP-Tglass packed bed reactor under UVB radiation. The treatment gave 98% transformation for both species and up to 4 of the 5 available halogens (bromide and chloride) were removed.

Toxicity tests were performed on a solution feed containing PCP and/or PBP in MilliQ water (1 mg L-1) before and after treatment. The toxicity (as measured by Microtox®) of the treated effluent showed that after treatment the lethal toxicity (LD50) was removed while the effect toxicity (EC50) has reduced. Toxicity tests using Hydra hexactinella showed a slight decrease in toxicity, however the dehalogenated PCP and PBP mixture was shown to have a greater decrease in toxicity.

Dehalogenation plays an important rule in reduction in toxicity; it was found that for a partial transformation (up to 70% in both species) of the PBP and PCP mixture (0.67 and 0.89 mg L-1) in reservoir water, an increase in toxicity occurs.

The results of the present work clearly show the potential for continuous removal of soluble phenolic pollutants from water and wastewater streams by immobilized horseradish peroxidase using the novel Tglass developed in this study.

Nonparametric approach to reliability and its applications
Creators: name: Jayasinghe, Chathuri Lakshika
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Reliability concepts are used by reliability engineers in the industry to perform systematic reliability studies for the identification and possible elimination of failure causes, quantification of failure occurrences and for the reduction of failure consequences. Apart from applications to mechanical, electronic systems and software, reliability concepts are heavily used in biomedicine to model and understand biological processes such as aging. The standard approach in estimating reliability measures is to assume that the underlying lifetime distribution is known, even if only approximately. When the assumed parametric model is valid, the accuracy of corresponding inferences made based on the estimated function is usually sufficient. However, when this is in doubt, use of a parametric approach could lead to inaccurate inferences. In the literature, this issue has been studied extensively. In such circumstances, estimating these reliability measures using nonparametric techniques has the advantage of flexibility as they generally impose less restriction on the underlying distribution of the life time variable. This thesis considers three popular reliability measures, namely, Reversed Hazard Rate (RHR), Expected Inactivity Time (EIT) and Mean Residual Life (MRL) functions and introduces new estimation methods based on a nonparametric technique called the fixed-design local polynomial regression method. Investigations were undertaken on the theoretical properties of these estimators such as their asymptotic bias, variance and distribution. Extensive simulations were carried out to investigate their performances. The thesis also introduces some novel hypothesis testing procedures for comparing between reliability measures based on samples from two populations using nonparametric techniques. Finally, these methods were applied to address various interesting problems in biomedicine and reliability engineering to demonstrate their practical utility.

Empirical modelling and classification of surface electromyogram
Creators: name: Singh, Vijay Pal
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This thesis develops an effective feature extraction technique for sEMG signals. Surface electromyography (sEMG) is the recording of a muscle’s electrical activity from the surface of the skin. The signal contains information that is related to the anatomy and physiology of the muscle. In clinical applications, the signal is used for the diagnosis of neuro-muscular diseases and disorders. Another application of sEMG is for device control application where the signal is used for controlling devices such as prosthetic devices, robots, and human – machine interfaces. Signal classification is used to extract relevant information that represent a particular state (or class) of the sEMG signal. This stater (or class) of the sEMG depicts the information about the underlying pathology or is used as control input for other devices. Therefore it is important that the sEMG is classified in to the relevant class with high accuracy to ensure reliable application in a given field.

Many researchers have attempted to improve the classification accuracy of the sEMG signal. Generally the number of electrodes attached to the surface of the skin also needs to be increased in order to increase the classification accuracy. In some cases this number becomes prohibitively high. On the other hand, with a decrease in the number of electrodes the classification accuracy has been reported to decrease.
In order to overcome these challenges, in this thesis a new feature extraction technique has been developed. As opposed to the established global time or frequency domain analysis of the sEMG signal, the technique developed in this thesis relies on the well established volume conduction model of sEMG generation.
Developed feature extraction technique is then applied to sEMG recorded from low level digital contraction with low signal to noise ratio. A high classification rate of approximately 93% in four classes of low level contraction was achieved by using single channel of sEMG recording. It was further established that the placement of electrode did not have significant effect on the accuracy and reliability of the classification.

Further developments that may improve on the methods established in this thesis are presented in the end.
Capturing innovation: entrepreneurial activity within an education organisation
Creators: name: Strauch, Kerry
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: The 1990's in Victoria saw a political and economical shift away from the social justice themes of previous years to an economic rationalist approach to public sector services. Like other countries, educational reform initiatives focused on the introduction of market-oriented commercial practices. These were characterised by increased accountability for expenditure, pressure to supplement publicly funded income with commercial ventures, rationalisation of staff, privatisation of some services and a business-oriented approach to service provision. As part of this shift TAFE Institutes in Victoria were actively encouraged to embark on a business-based, entrepreneurial approach to training delivery in a competitive, user-choice market.

This changing external environment is the context for this 'practitioner research' investigative project - the development of a motorsports program as a case study of innovation and entrepreneurship at Wodonga Institute of TAFE. A participant-observer research approach was applied to examine the perceptions of the stakeholders about the development of the program. Data was collected through semi-formal interviews with stakeholders, maintaining a reflective research journal and reviewing related literature.

Analysis of the data identified emergent themes (enabling factors and barriers), reflecting at a micro level, similar themes and issues from current research and debate at national level. The themes are similarly reflected in literature on innovation, organisational change and entrepreneurship.

The products generated from the investigative research project are:

* Capturing Innovation: Entrepreneurial Activity Within a Publicly Funded Educational Organisation, an exegesis examining innovation and entrepreneurship at Wodonga Institute of TAFE through a case study (the motorsports program)

* What a Great Idea! Where to From Here?, a set of guidelines for Wodonga Institute of TAFE practitioners about what is required in presenting their ideas to Senior Management (Appendix 1 and Appendix 2), and

* a Professional development workshop agenda to support promotion of the guidelines (Appendix 2)

* recommendations to Wodonga Institute of TAFE Directorate (Director/CEO and two Deputy Directors) for supporting the development of innovative ideas (Chapter 6).

These outcomes aim to increase the success rate of innovative ideas being captured and developed into training programs and products at Wodonga Institute of TAFE.
Improving high dose rate and pulsed dose rate prostate brachytherapy : alternative prostate definition and treatment delivery verification methods
Creators: name: Howie, Andrew
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Brachytherapy is a form of radiotherapy in which radioactive sources are placed at short distances from, or even inside the target volume. The use of high dose rate brachytherapy is a widely accepted and clinically proven treatment for some stages of prostate cancer.

The aim of this project was to investigate potential improvements on two of the most important aspects of high dose rate (HDR) and pulsed dose rate (PDR) prostate brachytherapy - prostate definition and treatment delivery verification.

The use of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in addition to the conventional computed tomography (CT) imaging methods currently used routinely for brachytherapy planning may provide some benefit in accurately defining the prostate and surrounding critical structures. The methods used in this project involved analysis of data sets provided by two Radiation Oncologists.

The results presented showed inter-observer and intra-observer variations in the size and shape of the prostate, as well as analysis of the dosimetric differences that may be reported due to the differences in prostate size and shape. The results also included analysis of critical structure dosimetry - dose to the surrounding radio-sensitive rectum and urethra.

In summary, the results showed that the prostate was defined to be smaller using MR imaging than CT, however the consistency between Oncologists was not significantly improved using MR imaging. MR imaging may be useful in reducing the dose to normal tissue surrounding the prostate and in obtaining better coverage of the smaller target volume, without compromising the critical structures.

The use of LiF:Mg,Ti thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) is a potential avenue for in vivo dose verification of an HDR or PDR prostate brachytherapy treatment plan. This project included a phantom study of these TLDs with the aim to determine their feasibility for clinical use. Cylindrical TLD rods (6 mm length x 1 mm diameter) were used, as these fit inside the brachytherapy needles implanted into the prostate, and therefore had potential to be used clinically to verify the dose delivered in the prostate.

This study was extended to include determination of a correction factor to allow an independent radiation source (6 MV photon beam from a linear accelerator) to be used to obtain control readings for this relative dosimetric method.

The results showed these TLDs to be a promising in vivo dosimeter for prostate brachytherapy with potential errors in the order of 4%. Their potential lies in the fact that they could detect and flag significant calculation errors in treatment plans, and they utilise equipment used routinely for external beam radiotherapy dosimetry in many treatment facilities, reducing the cost of implementing such a procedure.

Vulnerable bodies and gendered habitus: the prospects for transforming exercise
Creators: name: Ruyters, Michele
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: My thesis is a contribution to research on the embodiment of identity. Using the work of Pierre Bourdieu, in particular his concepts of habitus and practice, I explored women’s embodiment of their identity, in particular, aspects of their identity that relate to feelings of weakness and vulnerability in physical contexts. Women may be at risk if they respond in these ways to threats of assault and harassment. My focus was the possibility that women can transform these aspects of their identity through the pedagogic practice of self–defence training. I drew on Bandura’s work on self-efficacy and my research in two Victorian secondary girls schools where I observed the delivery of two self-defence training courses including one in which I was also an instructor. I interviewed 30 students as well as one member of the teaching staff. The pedagogic approaches of the two courses were different. The course at School A focused on simulated assaults and striking practice on targets. The course at School B focused on a wide range of self-defence techniques but did not include simulations or striking practice. I explored how girls embody their identities, including girls’ perceptions of their physical capabilities, and the kinds of self-protective behaviours they engage in to compensate for feelings of vulnerability and weakness. I found that many of the young women in my research had acquired an understanding of their bodies as relatively weak and vulnerable through strongly gendered habituses. Most of the young women did not experience significant changes to these aspects of their identities as a result of participating in self-defence training. A small number experienced transient dispositions of empowerment and capability, which were more evident in students at School A. In general, students struggled with the complexity of the techniques they learned, memorising the necessary movements, and the time available for practice. I concluded that further research is required to explore the transformative effects of self-defence training on women’s gendered habitus.
Characterisation of a commercial active screen plasma nitriding system
Creators: name: Hubbard, Paul
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Nitriding is a plasma based processing technique that is used to improve the surface properties of components and products in many areas including the aerospace, automotive and biomedical industries to name a few. Active Screen Plasma Nitriding (ASPN) is a relatively new nitriding technique which has potential advantages over the more traditional nitriding techniques such as Direct Current (DC) plasma nitriding where high substrate biases can be problematic. However, there is considerable debate as to the mechanism for nitriding in ASPN. This thesis focuses on investigating the mechanism for nitriding in a commercial ASPN system.

Commercial ASPN treatments of nitrideable alloy steels were found to be unsatisfactory unless a sufficient bias was applied. The level of bias required to produce a satisfactory nitriding response, in terms of the cross sectional hardness, was found to depend on the concentration of strong alloy nitride forming elements present in the steel.

Although active screen material was found to be transferred to the workload, no evidence was found that this process played a significant role in enhancing the nitriding response. The primary mechanism for nitrogen mass transfer in ASPN was found to be dependent on the active screen/workload separation distance. When this separation is small (less than approximately 10cm for the conditions used in this study) then nitrogen mass transfer in the form of energetic ions or neutrals can occur between the active screen and the workload. This allows samples to be treated without a substrate bias. On the other hand, when the active screen/workload separation distance is large (greater than approximately 10cm) as is normally the case in a commercial environment, this mechanism for nitrogen mass transfer breaks down and a substrate bias is essential. In this latter case, nitrogen ions attracted to the workload using a bias is the primary nitrogen mass transfer mechanism and the role of the active screen is primar ily to uniformly heat the workload.
Renal Biopsy in Russia: History, Theory and Practice
Creators: name: Jargin, Sergei
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 320214
subject: Nephrology and urology

description: Renal biopsy is a valuable diagnostic tool. This review discusses renal biopsies used in Russia in research and practice since the 1970s. Among others the role of the biopsies in the following conditions is analyzed: glomerulo- and pyelonephritis, arterial hypertension, alcoholism, diabetes mellitus and urinary tract malformations in children. The material used in certain studies was unique: wedge or core biopsies in hydronephrosis, acute and chronic pyelonephritis, renovascular hypertension. The collection of specimens was associated with risk, in particular, intra-operative excisions in acute pyelonephritis and hydronephrosis as well as pancreas biopsies. Morphological overdiagnosis of glomerulonephritis resulted in the overtreatment with steroids and cytostatica in some cases. The main conclusion is that, considering possible adverse effects, renal biopsy for research should not exist as such; it must always be performed according to clinical indications. If a patient gives informed consent to research on renal tissue obtained for diagnostic purposes, it can be done, provided that enough tissue remains for the diagnostics.

Analysis of current methods of flexural design for high strength concrete beams
Creators: name: Tabassum, Javeria
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Considerable amount of research was carried out into the properties and structural performance of high strength concrete for more than few decades. Whilst this research has produced relevant and useful results, there are several properties of high strength concrete like compressive and tensile strengths, stiffness, durability etc. that need to be evaluated and investigated to determine an accurate representation for the determination of different structural properties of beams made of high strength concrete.

For this purpose, an investigation into the behaviour of beams made of higher concrete strengths has been carried out and conclusions drawn for the design of high strength concrete beams in flexure. Experimental data from previous research was considered for the study to establish some understanding of flexural behavior of HSC beams. A number of spreadsheets in Excel were developed using available data and various graphs were plotted to determine the accuracy of the code provisions for calculating the ultimate moment capacity of beams.

A study on flexural ductility of beams has been carried out using a computer program FRMPHI which generates moment-curvature curves for the beams. Ductility has been studied using ductility factors. The influence of ductility on the value of the depth of neutral axis has been analysed and discussed.

A chapter on the short-term deflection of simply supported high strength concrete beams under instantaneous deflections is presented. This chapter includes analysis of the available formula to calculate deflection to determine if these can be adopted for high strength concrete.

Extensive ongoing research on the shear strength of beams by several researchers since many years has lead to the generation of a large body of knowledge. Although each author has analysed the data comparing them with existing relationships, the whole body of information has not been analysed to establish a statistical significance. In this study, regression analysis on experimental data collected from published research is carried a relationship between the different parameters affecting the shear strength of beams. The level of significance of the association between parameters influencing shear strength is also discussed.

On the coordinated use of a sleep mode in wireless sensor networks : ripple rendezvous
Creators: name: van Coppenhagen, Robert
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: It is widely accepted that low energy consumption is the most important requirement when designing components and systems for a wireless sensor network (WSN). The greatest energy consumer of each node within a WSN is the radio transceiver and as such, it is important that this component be used in an extremely energy e±cient manner. One method of reducing the amount of energy consumed by the radio transceiver is to turn it off and allow nodes to enter a sleep mode. The algorithms that directly control the radio transceiver are traditionally grouped into the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer of a communication protocol stack.

This thesis introduces the emerging field of wireless sensor networks and outlines the requirements of a MAC protocol for such a network. Current MAC protocols are reviewed in detail with a focus on how they utilize this energy saving sleep mode as well as performance problems that they suffer from. A proposed new method of coordinating the use of this sleep mode between nodes in the network is specifed and described. The proposed new protocol is analytically compared with existing protocols as well as with some fundamental performance limits. The thesis concludes with an analysis of the results as well as some recommendations for future work.

description: In response to vascular damage, P-selectin molecules are secreted onto the surface of cells that line our blood vessels. They then serve as mechanical anchors to capture leucocytes from the blood stream. Here, we track individual P-selectin molecules released at the surface of live endothelial cells following stimulated secretion. We find P-selectin initially shows fast, unrestricted diffusion but within a few minutes, movement becomes increasingly restricted and ~50% of the molecules become completely immobile; a process similar to a sol-gel transition. We find removal of the extracellular C-type lectin domain (ΔCTLD) and/or intracellular cytoplasmic tail domain (ΔCT) has additive effects on diffusive motion while disruption of the adapter complex, AP2, or removal of cell-surface heparan sulphate restores mobility of full-length P-selectin close to that of ΔCT and ΔCTLD respectively. We have found P-selectin spreads rapidly from sites of exocytosis and evenly decorates the cell surface, but then becomes less mobile and better-suited to its mechanical anchoring function.

description: This paper introduces the concept of intangible assets in sequential supply chains and the importance of their appropriability in the organizational decision of firms. We focus on the quality of intellectual property rights (IPR) institutions, which on top of the hold-up problem between a supplier and the final producer entails an additional risk of imitation as technology may leak to competing producers in the market. The level of IPR enforcement in the location of a supplier can therefore play a crucial role in determining the decision of a final good producer whether to outsource or integrate a particular stage of production. The analysis is performed with Antràs and Chor (2013) in the background, where the position of the input along the supply chain, i.e. its upstreamness, and the degree of sequential complementarity of stage-specific inputs influence the organizational strategy of firms through the incentive structure of supplier investments. Our findings show that introducing intangible assets in sequential supply chain may have the opposite effect of contractibility on outsourcing decision, where only tangible property rights are considered. We argue therefore that the risk of imitation is a relevant feature that needs to be accounted for in the incomplete contract literature. Our theoretical predictions are validated on Slovenian firm-level data.
