The Australian Centre for robotics (CEFR) at the University of Sydney has established a major new center for mining automation. Rio Tinto, a global mining company has $ 21,000,000 committed funds for an initial period of five years for this new center. The objective of the Centre for Mining Automation to develop and implement the vision of full autonomy, remote-controlled mine.
Students studied ACFR thesis in the field of autonomous systems, including data fusion, perception, control, interest and learning systems, which is part of this exciting new initiative and is sponsored a scholarship full-time study from Rio Tinto.
There is no deadline for this opportunity. The contest is open all year and start the selected candidates are beginning the semester with one or two semesters provided.
Eligibility:
Applicants must have a mechanical first-class degree with a specialization in mechatronics, mining, electrical engineering, aerospace, mathematics, physics, computer science or a related discipline or extensive relevant professional experience.
Grants:
The scholarship is valued at $ 27,651 per year (excluding taxes). The scholarship will be supplemented by access to foreign travel grants and other donations.
The scholarships are for October 2011.
Project 1: Towards a quiet fan
The distinctive design Dyson Air Multiplier offers many advantages in the operation: the air flow it generates is free of the turmoil with conventional fans think it's effective, easy to clean and as quiet as other fans. The objective of this project is to go even further design and create the ultimate low noise fan during a stay in a confined space. The flow of cooling air is not moving blades is low enough and at a speed that is not the sound of this flow is important. This means that the objective of the project is new, quiet internal components. be elements of interest is the following: that the propeller noise sound that is amplified by interactions with the entry and exit of the geometry, product, and parts of the flow path to the steep curvature Local Divisions, wake up and can cause noise. In this project, we created simplified models for predicting the noise of its individual components (rotor blades, air jet, etc.) and their interaction and integration to develop these ideas to develop design rules for reduce the noise. The project aims at the lowest level of noise that can be made for a fan with air flow, speed and effectiveness and to identify concepts that can be developed to achieve.
Project 2: Aeroacoustics of cyclone
Hurricanes are complex three-dimensional flows, vortex around a central pillar of the fluid in line with the axis of rotation. The column consists of a solid body rotation, which does not exhibit instability at low flows. But when the flow increases, the heart deforms the vortex drifting spiral rotation, from the central axis. The instability leads to periodic motion in time, the tonal noise. It is believed that the frequency of vortex core processing has a relationship with the sound frequency observed.
The main objectives of the project are a model for the heart of the vortex precession to develop and explore ways to fight against noise, either by removing the unstable periodic flow, passive, active or using controlled conditions noise.
The challenge is to stabilize the stream or to reduce noise without loss of performance as the separation pressure or particles.
The solution could be a wide application range of vacuum cleaners in helicopters and recording Ranque-Hilsch tubes used for refrigeration.
