Dynamic Simulation of Gear and Bearing Interactions in Gearboxes for Improved Diagnostics and Prognostics of Faults.

该项目将开发的技术应成为高速变速箱诊断和预测技术的国际标准，并提高澳大利亚工业的性能。澳大利亚是自然资源的主要供应国，许多矿山位于偏远地区，它严重依赖机器状态监测技术，如项目中正在开发的技术，以最大限度地提高产量并将灾难性故障的可能性降至最低。这些技术还提高了安全性，例如悬挂在变速箱上的直升机，使其成为非常关键的部件。这将对直升机的民用和军用运营商都有相当大的好处，这两个运营商对澳大利亚都很重要。

The techniques to be developed in this project should become the international standard for diagnostic and prognostic techniques for high speed gearboxes, and improve the performance of Australian industry. Australia being a major supplier of natural resources, with many mines in remote locations, it is heavily dependent on machine condition monitoring techniques, such as those being developed in the project, to maximise output and minimise the likelihood of catastrophic failure. The techniques also give improved safety, for example of helicopters, which are suspended from the gearbox, making it a very critical component. This will be of considerable benefit to both civil and military operators of helicopters, both important to Australia.
