This report fully details the techniques involved in the modelling of a nonlinear and bi-axial vibration energy harvesting device.

A simulation trial was conducted to test the connectivity between the two heterogeneous software systems that were part of a cooperative Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Demonstration being undertaken by the Australian and Singaporean defence science agencies.

The Dynamic Aerospace Vehicle Exchange Markup Language (DAVE-ML) is a syntactical language for exchanging flight vehicle dynamic model data. This report documents a DAVE-ML consistent syntax for managing data as vectors and n-dimensional matrices, including syntax for computing vectors and matrices using equations, and examples of encoding data using the syntax.

This report details a comparison of a range of civil and military, United States and European regulations and structural certification standards for the fatigue substantiation of rotary wing aircraft structure.

This paper develops a low order engine model which is then used to investigate the performance benefits that can be obtained through proper tuning of the governor control parameters.

A two-dimensional weight function approach is used to determine stress intensity factors for cracks in either tensile or compressive stress fields, due to one of three mechanisms: remote tension overload, remote compression overload or hole cold expansion.

The purpose of this project was to enhance DSTO's capability in understanding and modelling the thermodynamic and performance characteristics of gas turbine engines. An engine performance modelling tool was developed and validated and different tools and techniques were evaluated. Infrared suppression related studies were also conducted

This report describes the development of a Thermal Wave Interferometry (TWI) system for the characterisation of film thickness. The capability addresses the need for a method to assess bondline uniformity for the compact multi-parameter load evaluation (CMPLE ) device, a low-cost surface-mounted sensor package with an in-flight strain measurement capability.

DSTO, in collaboration with DNPS, have undertaken a series of calm water resistance scaled model tests on the Armidale Class Patrol Boat, (ACPB) to deveop a database set for validation studies.

This report describes the application of two DSTO initiatives to improve the analysis of oil filter wear debris to be used as a valuable adjunct to existing condition monitoring techniques.
