Technical report
This report presents algorithms that can be utilized in a GPS receiver to convert satellite-to-receiver pseudo-ranges to receiver position estimates. The report discusses a method that is used to determine instantaneous estimates of receiver position and then goes on to develop three Kalman filter based estimators, which use stationary receiver, low dynamics, and high dynamics models for the receiver motion, respectively.
Research report
Using a custom-written FORTRAN computer program, interfaced with an existing two-dimensional boundary element fracture analysis code, the present report provides an extensive set of Beta factor solutions covering a wide range of hole offsets and crack lengths. This work has also led to the derivation of an improved closed-form analytical two-dimensional Beta factor solution for the related case of symmetrical cracks emanating from a central hole in a finite-width strip.
Research report
This study considered the implications of adopting Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) within the military Land domain.
External publication
This paper extends the application of cognitive work analysis (CWA) beyond the fields of human factors and engineering by demonstrating its use for military doctrine and strategy development.
Technical report
This report supports Defence outcomes by providing an up to date anthropometric dataset that is representative of Australian Army personnel. This will allow assessments to be made of the performance of existing and new soldier systems in terms of fit, clearance, each, vision and posture.
General document
This report contains reviews of software tools, developed by allied countries, that support analysis of Army readiness and sustainability.
Technical report
This report presents a comprehensive work domain analysis—or structural description—of Australia’s Air Combat Capability, defined across multiple levels of abstraction and decomposition, and independent of specific platforms.
Technical report
This report examines the research conducted on 7050-T7451 and how corrosion pitting could influence the fatigue life of components in RAAF aircraft manufactured from this alloy. The report shows that corrosion pitting causes not only a reduction in time to failure at a certain stress but also up to a 50% reduction in the fatigue threshold.
Technical report
General guidelines for the interpretation of published data on probability of detection (POD) for nondestructive testing.
