A small scale drop tower arrangement was used to simulate the dynamics of a practice torpedo impacting a submarine’s pressure hull.

This review is conducted to as part of the evaluation of dc circuit breaker options for future submarines.

A novel analogue FM ship-to-shore communications system was used to demonstrate video and bidirectional audio transmission up to 3km.

This provides a means of predicting the response of a building to an explosive blast load where the building is composed of Australian standard size red bricks or bluestone blocks using the Vulnerability Assessment and Protection Options (VAPO) software..

This report describes a bi-axial approach that represents a significant advancement in vibration energy harvesting (VEH), specifically the approach increases the operational directionality from single-axis to 360 degrees in a plane.

Retrogression and Re-ageing (RRA) technology is a two stage heat treatment of 7075-T6 aluminium alloy used to improve corrosion resistance while retaining MIL-HDBK-5J structural properties. This report assesses the compliance of this industrial trial with the requirements of the compliance matrices in the Stage II Design Development Plan and, by extension, the Stage II Process Specification for RRA.

An investigation into the abnormal discolouration of oil in ADF helicopter tail rotor transmissions.

A Monte Carlo model will then be used to test if the low-kt ECS distribution can accurately predict the fatigue lives of the high-kt specimens. If successful, this will allow low-kt ECS distributions, which are easier to derive, to be used under high-kt conditions.

This report presents a hybrid method for simulating sequences of correlated Gamma random variables for modelling sea clutter, using a combination of linear and/or nonlinear transforms.

The F-111 Adhesive Bonded Repair Assessment Program (FABRAP) was created to generate statistically valid data regarding the efficacy of the tap-test as a non-destructive-inspection technique and the environmental durability of adhesive bonds. In FABRAP Phase I Testing, over 300 repairs were tap tested and 820 residual strength tests conducted using a pneumatic adhesion tensile testing instrument. This report details the FABRAP process and summarises the results from the Phase I testing.
