Investigation of localized muscle fatigue
Creators: name: Yadav, Vivek
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Muscle fatigue is a condition where the ability of the muscle to contract and produce force is reduced. Generally the result of prolonged, relatively strong muscle activity, localized muscle fatigue (LMF) occurs when a muscle or a group of muscles has reduced ability to contract and produce force despite neural stimulation. The causes of physical fatigue include poor workplace practices and lack of regular physical exercise. Signs of fatigue include reduced motivation, blurred vision, increased reflex time and poor concentration – all elements in fatigue-related accidents. Muscle fatigue is a leading cause of workplace and transport-related accidents, as well as work-related musculoskeletal disorders.
This thesis reports on an experimental study conducted to determine the effects of LMF on the physiological signals produced during voluntary isometric and cyclic muscle contraction. Surface electromyography (SEMG) was considered relevant for this research because it is the most practical and non-invasive technique for recording such physiological signals. Time and frequency domain responses were extracted from recorded signals and analysed.
 Statistical analysis on extracted data was carried out using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and non parametric (sign-test) analysis. Sign-test analysis shows a statistically significant change in root-mean-square (RMS) amplitude both before and after the onset of fatigue during cyclic contraction but no statistically significant change in median frequency (MDF). But for isometric contraction the results of sign-test show that there is a statistically significant change in both MDF and RMS before and after the onset of fatigue. Similarly, ANOVA results suggest that for isometric contraction there is a statistically significant change in both MDF and RMS before and after the onset of fatigue. In addition, there is a statistically significant change in RMS amplitude before and after the onset of fatigue during cyclic contraction but no statistically significant change in MDF.
The results clearly demonstrate that while SEMG analysis is appropriate for muscular fatigue detection, the use of MDF alone does not provide a reliable and valid measure for LMF detection in real world applications where most tasks require a combination of both isometric and cyclic contractions.

Effective retrieval to support learning
Creators: name: Harris, Michael
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: To use digital resources to support learning, we need to be able to retrieve them. This thesis introduces a new area of research within information retrieval, the retrieval of educational resources from the Web.

Successful retrieval of educational resources requires an understanding of how the resources being searched are managed, how searchers interact with those resources and the systems that manage them, and the needs of the people searching. As such, we began by investigating how resources are managed and reused in a higher education setting. This investigation involved running four focus groups with 23 participants, 26 interviews and a survey.

The second part of this work is motivated by one of our initial findings; when people look for educational resources, they prefer to search the World Wide Web using a public search engine. This finding suggests users searching for educational resources may be more satisfied with search engine results if only those resources likely to support learning are presented. To provide satisfactory result sets, resources that are unlikely to support learning should not be present. A filter to detect material that is likely to support learning would therefore be useful.

Information retrieval systems are often evaluated using the Cranfield method, which compares system performance with a ground truth provided by human judgments. We propose a method of evaluating systems that filter educational resources based on this method. By demonstrating that judges can agree on which resources are educational, we establish that a single human judge for each resource provides a sufficient ground truth.

Machine learning techniques are commonly used to classify resources. We investigate how machine learning can be used to classify resources retrieved from the Web as likely or unlikely to support learning. We found that reasonable classification performance can be achieved using text extracted from resources in conjunction with Naïve Bayes, AdaBoost, and Random Forest classifiers. We also found that attributes developed from the structural elements—hyperlinks and headings found in a resource—did not substantially improve classification to support learning. We found that reasonable classification performance can be achieved using text extracted from resources in conjunction with Naïve Bayes, AdaBoost, and Random Forest classifiers. We also found that attributes developed from the structural elements—hyperlinks and headings found in a resource—did not substantially improve classification over simply using the text.

Development of microstrip patch antenna strain sensors for wireless structural health monitoring
Creators: name: Daliri, Ali
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Current developments in the design and manufacturing of composite materials along with their superior mechanical characteristics have resulted in the extensive use of these materials in advanced structures for aerospace industry. In recent years, several different attempts have been made to develop Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) systems and, as a result, various SHM techniques have been introduced. Currently, however, none of these techniques are capable of monitoring the condition of complex operational aerospace structures.

The number of sensors and its wiring pose significant problems because of the increased signal processing demand and heightened system unreliability, respectively. Current available wireless sensors are not efficient enough to be used in SHM for aerospace structures primarily because of cost and battery power limitations. The aim in this research was to investigate the feasibility of using microstrip patch antennas as a new type of strain sensor and develop the required techniques for wireless strain measurement without these aforementioned problems.
Analytical, computational (finite element analysis) and experimental tests conducted in this research demonstrated that microstrip patch antennas can be used to reliably measure strain. As a result of investigating different microstrip patch antenna configurations in this study, novel antenna sensors were designed, simulated and tested. These antenna sensors (circular, slotted circular and meandered circular microstrip patch antennas) showed good sensitivity with strain with acceptable linearity between strain and the shift in its resonant frequency. In particular, the meandered circular microstrip patch antenna was shown to have localised and omni-directional strain measurement capabilities.

In this research, it was shown that by using carefully selected techniques, the resonant frequency of circular microstrip patch antennas can be detected and measured wirelessly. As a result, the feasibility of wireless strain measurement for different aerospace materials (aluminium, carbon fibre reinforced polymer and glass fibre reinforced polymer) was demonstrated. Several diagnostic-related parameters here were investigated and a pivotal parameter discovered was the distance between the sensor and the reader. This technology can be further developed to be used in SHM techniques for wireless measurement of strain and possibly wireless detection of damage in aerospace structures.
title: Entwurf modellprädiktiver Drehmomentregelungen für Synchron-Reluktanzmaschinen
Creators: name: Kisner, Viktor
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2022

description: In dieser Dissertation wird eine modellprädiktive Drehmomentregelung für Synchron-Reluktanzmaschinen entworfen, die einen effizienten und sicheren Betrieb bis an die Leistungsgrenze ermöglicht. Sie besteht im Wesentlichen aus einer Sollwertberechnung und einer modellprädiktiven Stromregelung. In der Sollwertberechnung wird das gewünschte Drehmoment in Soll-Ströme umgerechnet, die mithilfe der modellprädiktiven Stromregelung eingeregelt werden. Für den Entwurf wird ein mathematisches Modell des elektrischen Antriebs aufgestellt. Darin wird eine Synchron-Reluktanzmaschine abgebildet, die von einem Wechselrichter mit Gleichspannungszwischenkreis gespeist wird. Die Synchron-Reluktanzmaschine wird in ein elektrisches und ein mechanisches Teilsystem aufgeteilt und über Differentialgleichungen beschrieben. Die Differentialgleichungen des elektrischen Teilsystems werden um Störspannungen erweitert, um Parameter- und Modellunsicherheiten abbilden zu können. Der Wechselrichter wird mit der Raumzeigermodulation angesteuert, die mit einer Spannungsbeschränkung beschrieben wird. In der Sollwertberechnung werden die Soll-Ströme als Lösung eines zweistufigen Minimierungsproblems ermittelt. In der ersten Stufe wird die Menge der Soll-Ströme bestimmt, mit denen das Soll-Drehmoment bestmöglich im Sinne der quadratischen Abweichung erzeugt wird. Danach werden jene Soll-Ströme in der zweiten Stufe ausgewählt, die zu den kleinsten Kupferverlusten führen. In beiden Stufen werden die Spannungsbeschränkung des Wechselrichters und eine Strombeschränkung berücksichtigt. Des Weiteren wird die Möglichkeit gegeben, einen Störspannungsbetrag als Schätzwert für Parameter- und Modellunsicherheiten einzubeziehen. So werden die Soll-Ströme in Abhängigkeit des Soll-Drehmoments, der Drehzahl, eines zulässigen Strombetrags, der Zwischenkreisspannung und des Störspannungsbetrags berechnet. Die Stromregelung besteht aus einem modellprädiktiven Stromregler und einem Störgrößenbeobachter. Der Stromregler berechnet Spannungen, die mithilfe der Raumzeigermodulation am Wechselrichter umgesetzt werden. Er beruht auf demselben Modell, das auch für die Sollwertberechnung verwendet wird. Damit werden die Ströme in Abhängigkeit der zu berechnenden Spannungen prädiziert. Die Spannungen werden durch die Minimierung eines Gütemaßes bestimmt, das unter anderem die quadratische Abweichung der prädizierten Ströme von den Soll-Strömen bewertet. Dabei wird auch die Spannungsbeschränkung berücksichtigt. Zugleich kann eine Strompfadbeschränkung optional einbezogen werden, die eine Entkopplung der Ströme erzwingt. Der Störgrößenbeobachter quantifiziert Parameter- und Modellunsicherheiten über Störspannungen, sodass sie in der Sollwertberechnung und im Stromregler beachtet werden können. Die entworfene Drehmomentregelung wird experimentell und simulativ validiert. Obgleich der Entwurf für Synchron-Reluktanzmaschinen durchgeführt wird, kann er ohne zusätzlichen Aufwand auf permanentmagneterregte Synchronmaschinen übertragen werden.

description: A proposta deste artigo consiste em discutir o contexto e o sentido do termo “onanismo”, propagado com pontualidade em trabalhos científicos e periódicos da segunda metade do século XIX. A alocução do termo tinha o caráter de coibir a sexualidade de crianças e adolescentes por meio do discurso da enfermidade e da degeneração dos corpos. No compêndio, busca-se, de alguma forma, relacionar tais discursos médicos oitocentistas produzidos no Brasil com o dispositivo da sexualidade cunhado por Michel Foucault. O material utilizado para análise serão teses médicas da Faculdade de Medicina do Rio de Janeiro e da Bahia, bem como o periódico denominado 'A Mãe de Família”, em um recorte que compreenderá os anos de 1834 a 1897.

description: In unserer Gesellschaft sind Begriffe wie Geschlechterunterschiede und Geschlechterstereotype ein stark diskutiertes Theama. Die Massenmedien sind eine wichtiger Teil des Alltagslebens. Sie erfüllen für die Gesellschaft soziale, ökonomische sowie politische Funktionen. Ein Aspekt der sozialen Funktion ist die Integrations- und die Sozialisationsfunktion. Dabei geht es unter anderem um das Verstehen von Rollenbildern sowie Verhaltensweisen, die für die Anwendung sozialer Rollen wichtig sind. Aber wie genau werden solche Rollenbilder medial dargestellt? Die zentrale Frage der Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, ob die Massenmedien Rollenbilder beziehungsweise Geschlechterbilder von Frauen und Männern vermitteln. Um das herauszufinden wurde das Frauenmagazin „Wienerin“ sowie das Männermagazin „Wiener“ auf vermittelte Rollenbilder untersucht. Als Untersuchungsmethode diente die quantitative Inhaltsanalyse.

description: In der vorliegenden Bachelorarbeit wird auf die Selbstbestimmung von Menschen mit einer kognitiven Beeinträchtigung eingegangen, welche in einem stationären Wohnsetting leben. Es wird aufgezeigt, dass Selbstbestimmung bei jedem Menschen, egal ob mit oder ohne Beeinträchtigung, ein Grundbedürfnis darstellt und dass das soziale Umfeld einen wesentlichen Einfluss darauf hat, ob Selbstbestimmung verwirklicht werden kann. Es wird dargelegt, dass theoretisch betrachtet die gesetzlichen Grundlagen die Selbstbestimmung von Menschen mit kognitiver Beeinträchtigung nicht wesentlich tangieren und Schwierigkeiten eher in der praktischen Umsetzung durch Beistandspersonen liegen. Ausserdem wird das stationäre Wohnsetting vorgestellt und dessen Strukturen beleuchtet. Es wird aufgezeigt, inwieweit diese Strukturen die Selbstbestimmung von Menschen mit einer kognitiven Beeinträchtigung beeinflussen. Auch die Begleitarbeit im stationären Setting wird genauer betrachtet und es werden Faktoren benannt, die ebenfalls die Ausübung von Selbstbestimmung bei Menschen mit kognitiver Beeinträchtigung erschweren. Danach werden Lösungsansätze aus der Theorie vorgestellt, die zur Wahrung und Förderung der Ausübung von Selbstbestimmung bei Menschen mit kognitiver Beeinträchtigung dienen. Daraus resultieren konkrete Handlungsmöglichkeiten für Sozialarbeitende, sowie weiterführende Fragen zu diesem Thema.

description: This work frames the architectural practice of Antarctica; a young practice environment characterised by loose collaboration and participation in diverse design activities.

The architectural projects forming this research have surfaced three central propositions; about a mode of design practice, a type of architectural space, and an ethical position towards architecture. Each of these share the impulse to be immersed environmental influences affecting architecture.

This document reflects on these ideas through the lens of a series of themes: noise, junk, longevity, and participation. Each of these themes describes the environment and context in which architectural design takes place. Through these designs, the architectural model of the shed is examined; a form which is characterised by loose and robust space. Together these reflections form a position towards sustainability that is applicable to architecture. That position foregrounds participation in the breadth of the imperfect environment for building; accommodation of change in that environment, and an open robust design process. In doing this it seeks to contribute to debates which span between architectural composition and the social forces on architecture, re-engaging the two with each other.

The design projects, and the position elaborated through them, set out a territory for Antarctica’s ongoing design research and collaborative methods.
Vehicle engine cooling systems: assessment and improvement of wind-tunnel based evaluation methods
Creators: name: Ng, Eton
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: The high complexity of vehicle front-end design, arising from considerations of aerodynamics, safety and styling, causes the airflow velocity profile at the radiator face to be highly distorted, leading to potentially reduced airflow volume for heat dissipation. A flow visualisation study showed that the bumper bar significantly influenced the cooling airflow, leading to three-dimensional vortices in its wake and generating an area of relatively low velocity across at least one third of the radiator core.

Since repeatability and accuracy of on-road testing are prejudiced by weather conditions, wind-tunnel testing is often preferred to solve cooling airflow problems. However, there are constraints that limit the accuracy of reproducing on-road cooling performance from wind-tunnel simulations. These constraints included inability to simulate atmospheric conditions, limited tunnel test section sizes (blockage effects) and lack of ground effect simulations.

The work presented in this thesis involved use of on-road and wind-tunnel tests to investigate the effects of most common constraints present in wind tunnels on accuracy of the simulations of engine cooling performance and radiator airflow profiles. To aid this investigation, an experimental technique for quantifying radiator airflow velocity distribution and an analytical model for predicting the heat dissipation rate of a radiator were developed. A four-hole dynamic pressure probe (TFI Cobra probe) was also used to document flow fields in proximity to a section of radiator core in a wind tunnel in order to investigate the effect of airflow maldistribution on radiator heat-transfer performance. In order to cope with the inability to simulate ambient temperature, the technique of Specific Dissipation (SD) was used, which had previously been shown to overcome this problem.

description: Ziel der Untersuchung war es festzustellen, ob zwei unterschiedliche Förderansätze bei Kindern im letzten Vorschuljahr zu unterschiedlichen Entwicklungsfortschritten hinsichtlich verschiedener schulrelevanter Vorläuferfähigkeiten führen. Die Fähigkeiten der Kinder wurden im Herbst 2008 sowie im Frühjahr 2009 ermittelt. Die Stichprobe bestand aus 42 Kindern. 19 Kinder besuchten einen Kindergarten, 23 Kinder erhielten eine spezielle Förderung in einer 5+ Vorschulgruppe. Die Daten zur kognitiven Entwicklung wurden zu beiden Testzeitpunkten je nach Alter mit Teilen der Intelligenztestverfahren HAWIK-IV (Petermann & Petermann, 2007), HAWIVA-III (Ricken, Fritz, Schuck & Preuß, 2007) und WET (Kastner-Koller & Deimann, 2002) erhoben. Für die Ermittlung der Sprachentwicklung diente der SET-K 3-5 (Grimm, 2001), für die Erhebung der visumotorischen Kompetenzen wurden Teile des FEW-2 vorgegeben (Büttner, Dacheneder, Schneider & Weyer, 2008). Mit jedem Kind wurde außerdem ein Anamnesegespräch über Freundschaften, Rivalitäten, bevorzugte Aktivitäten und Interessen sowie über Ideen zum Schulalltag geführt. Beide Bildungseinrichtungen können dem Förderanspruch Genüge leisten und stehen nicht in direkter Konkurrenz zueinander. Die Eltern der Kinder scheinen intuitiv die für ihr Kind richtige Entscheidung getroffen zu haben, da sich die Kinder in der jeweiligen Umwelt gut entwickelten. Sind Kinder gut gefördert und begabt, was bei der Zielgruppe der 5+ angenommen wird, kann die Entscheidung für die eine oder andere Institution ohne Bedenken im Hinblick auf die Wünsche, Interessen und Bedürfnisse des Kindes getroffen werden, da beide Einrichtungen die Vorläuferfähigkeiten gut fördern.
description: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of two different kinds of preschool education on children's school readiness in connection with their intellectual abilities, language abilities and fine motor skills. The abilities were assessed at the beginning of the preschool education in fall 2008 and six months later, in spring 2009. The sample included 42 children from 67 to 74 month old, differentiated by the type of preschool education they were attending. 19 children went to a regular nursery school, 23 of them got a special treatment in a 5+ preschool class. Children's intellectual ability was determined using the Wechsler intelligence scale for children – IV, the Hannover Wechsler preschool and primary scale of intelligence – III and the Wiener Entwicklungstest. The language competence was assessed using the Sprachentwicklungstest für drei- bis fünfjährige Kinder and fine motor skills were determined using Frostigs Entwicklungstest der visuellen Wahrnehmung 2. The results indicate that the type of education – whether it is a nursery school or a special treatment in 5+ preschool classes – isn’t the most important factor. The parents probably already provided their children quality stimulation in the home environment that preschool activities did not surpass.

description: As a result of the growing population of the United States our urban planners and architects have begun to research ways in which we can provide more sustainable housing for a diverse group of people. New practices have emerged with the aim of creating stronger communities within the setting of a suburb. Cohousing and pocket communities are two of these urban design strategies. While they differ in some of their practices, they both follow a few specific beliefs: walkability, a sense of community and place, and a feeling of privacy. However, the practice of creating a sense of privacy, for the most part, is conducted strictly by creating mostly single family homes or duplexes. The Pocket City explores how urban growth can be changed to focus more on a human scale community. This community focused city works to create the missing density of our current urban growth patterns. With connectivity through public transportation options, it looks to see if a new car free urban design strategy can thrive within the sprawling context of the United States

Utilisation of the transmission links between network devices is a focus for energy conservation. Improving link utilisation and reducing energy use during idle periods are topics for current research. Reducing the energy required to operate network devices such as switches, routers and concentrators is a key goal in the quest to make the network more energy efficient. Power management mechanisms that control and manage traffic flows and link operating states can lead to energy efficient network device and link operations and thereby improve the overall energy efficiency of the worldwide digital network. The trade-off between power management and performance is an important aspect of this research and an investigation has been carried out to identify energy savings that have a minimal effect on performance. A focus on identifying Quality of Service requirements for traffic streams in a differentiated service environment provides an approach that has led to a traffic priority transmission process that conserves energy.
The power management mechanisms introduced in this thesis propose traffic management based on traffic class, the link states being managed based on buffer utilisation and links being put into low power modes. By utilizing link interfaces (intermediary buffers) to facilitate device component burst operation (including the device link processor, storage and other links component) it was found that performance was improved whilst reducing power utilization.
This thesis addresses energy consumption in Ethernet Access Networks, investigates and validates existing models and proposes a novel method to improve the energy efficient operation of Ethernet links that incorporates prioritized traffic management.
Supporting software evolution in agent systems

description: Software maintenance and evolution is arguably a lengthy and expensive phase in the life cycle of a software system. A critical issue at this phase is change propagation: given a set of primary changes that have been made to software, what additional secondary changes are needed to maintain consistency between software artefacts? Although many approaches have been proposed, automated change propagation is still a significant technical challenge in software maintenance and evolution.

Our objective is to provide tool support for assisting designers in propagating changes during the process of maintaining and evolving models. We propose a novel, agent-oriented, approach that works by repairing violations of desired consistency rules in a design model. Such consistency constraints are specified using the Object Constraint Language (OCL) and the Unified Modelling Language (UML) metamodel, which form the key inputs to our change propagation framework. The underlying change propagation mechanism of our framework is based on the well-known Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) agent architecture. Our approach represents change options for repairing inconsistencies using event-triggered plans, as is done in BDI agent platforms. This naturally reflects the cascading nature of change propagation, where each change (primary or secondary) can require further changes to be made. We also propose a new method for generating repair plans from OCL consistency constraints. Furthermore, a given inconsistency will typically have a number of repair plans that could be used to restore consistency, and we propose a mechanism for semi-automatically selecting between alternative repair plans. This mechanism, which is based on a notion of cost, takes into account cascades (where fixing the violation of a constraint breaks another constraint), and synergies between constraints (where fixing the violation of a constraint also fixes another violated constraint). Finally, we report on an evaluation of the approach, covering both effectiveness and efficiency.
Retrodigitalisierung von Pressedokumentationen am Beispiel des HWWA und der ZBW des Instituts für Weltwirtschaft

Subjects: subject: 020 Bibliotheks- und Informationswissenschaft

description: Im HWWA-Projekt zur Retrodigitalisierung der Pressedokumentationen von HWWA und Deutscher Zentralbibliothek für Wirtschaftswissenschaften werden sukzessive die seit Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts gesammelten Presseausschnitte digitalisiert. Die Internetpräsentation von historischen Presseausschnitten bedarf der historischen Kontextualisierung, da Veränderungen in der deutschen Innen- wie Außenpolitik sich auf die Archiv-Organisation, Zusammensetzung des gesammelten Materials und Rezeptionsmöglichkeit der ursprünglichen Nutzer auswirkten. Die Bibliotheken sollten daher die Aufgabe der Edition digitalisierter Quellen übernehmen. An den Workflow zur inhaltlichen Erschließung der Digitalisate und das Information Retrieval sind spezielle Anforderungen zu stellen, da der einzelne Presseausschnitt durch die Retrodigitalisierung aus dem ursprünglichen Sammlungszusammenhang gelöst wird. Die Rekonstruktionsmöglichkeit der doppelten diskursiven Rückbindung des Ausschnitts – einerseits an das Medium Pressemappe und andererseits an die ursprüngliche Publikationsform Zeitungs- bzw. Zeitschriftenausgabe – ist zu Forschungszwecken allerdings nötig.
The practice of m3architecture
Creators: name: Banney, Michael
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: m3architecture's research into practice, summarised by a series of posters, captures the territory between thinking and building.

The posters are m3architecture projects in their own right. They are conceived using the same themes, interests and techniques inherent in the production, and visible in the outcomes of the built work. The material offers a concurrent understanding of project by theme and theme by project.

The thesis includes a summary of built work, the search for an understanding of practice, and the search and the expression of the individual and collective practice of m3architecture.

description: Immer öfter werden kommunale Öffentliche Bibliotheken aus den herkömmlichen Amtsstrukturen herausgelöst. In vielen Fällen umfaßt diese Änderung der Betriebsform auch andere Einrichtungen des Kulturbereiches, mit denen die Bibliothek kooperierend unter ein gemeinsames Dach vereint wird. Es ist Aufgabe der an der Wahl der Betriebsform Beteiligten, die aus fachlicher Sicht zu setzenden Prioritäten in dem Kooperationsvorhaben herauszuarbeiten. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht die Eignung der in Frage kommenden Betriebsformen für den langfristigen Betrieb einer kooperativen Einrichtung im Hinblick auf diese fachlichen sowie die wesentlichen finanzwirksamen Kriterien.
EXPLORING AMBIENT TO DISRUPTIVE HEALTH NOTIFICATIONS VIA SHAPE-CHANGING INTERFACES

description: Ambient Information Systems have shown some success when used as a notification towards users’ health-related activities. But in the actual busy lives of users, ambient notifications might be forgotten or even missed altogether, nullifying the original notification. When do people accept escalated levels of disruption for health notifications? In parallel,how could varying levels of health notifications be portrayed in shape-changing interfaces? To investigate these questions, I took a Research through Design approach and created artifacts in the form of plant-mimicking Shape-Changing Interfaces (S-CIs), conducting interviews with ten participants who currently used a system to remind themselves to perform a health-related activity, to learn how they would react to the varying of motion types to achieve disruption. I report findings on scenarios where disrupting users for health-related activity purposes could be acceptable, how participants interpreted various aspects of the S-CIs and reasonings behind them, and how people envisioned using S-CIs within their physical environments. I also discuss avenues for future work in ambient-to-disruptive technology, and design suggestions for those working in health-related notification systems and shape-changing interfaces.
Improving the mechanical properties of aerospace carbon fibre-epoxy joints by z-pinning
Creators: name: Koh, Tze Min
Publisher: name: RMIT University

description: The use of carbon fibre/epoxy laminates and other types of composites in aircraft and helicopters has increased greatly over the past decade. These applications include structural bonded joints and stiffener-skin bonded panels such as ribs, spars and stringers. A long-standing problem with bonded composite structural joints is the low strength and toughness of their bond-line, which makes them susceptible to bond-line cracking under the application of normal (through-thickness) tensile, in-plane secondary bending or impact loads. One promising through-thickness reinforcement method is z-pinning. Z-pins are thin metallic or fibrous rods inserted through the bonded region of a composite joint, and they act as fine nails which hold the adherends together by bridging tractions after the bond-line has fractured.

The general aim of this PhD study is to investigate the structural properties and damage tolerance of z-pinned composite bonded joints. This PhD investigates two types of bonded carbon fibre/epoxy joints commonly used in aircraft (and other engineering) structural composites: T-shaped joints and single lap joints. Specifically, the PhD examines the influences of various parameters on the mechanical performance of bonded T-joints to optimise the z-pinning conditions. The parameters studied include the volume content, diameter and embedded length of the z-pins; the location of the z-pins in the joint; and the direction of the applied load. The PhD also investigates the mechanical performance of z-pinned lap joints, and in particular their creep and stress rupture properties as well as the creep toughening mechanisms.

This thesis presents an experimental investigation into the efficacy of z-pins to improve the structural properties of bonded T-joints under an applied tensile (pull-off) load. This study is the first comprehensive assessment of the effect of z-pin content on the strengthening and toughening of T-joints, and provides important analytical information and experimental data to optimise the z-pinning conditions for maximum structural performance. The study found that z-pinning significantly improves the mechanical performance of T-joints under different pull-off load angles, and when a pre-existing crack is present in the joint. Also, effects of z-pin reinforcement location and z-pin embedded length (i.e. joint thickness) were investigated experimentally and analytically. Lastly, this thesis presents a study into the creep properties, stress rupture and creep mechanisms of single lap joints reinforced with z-pins. The PhD thesis concludes with a summary of the major research findings, a discussion of future research directions into z-pinned composite joints, and the remaining challenges in the certification of z-pinned joints for use in primary aircraft structures.
