(AFFRIC) on the Geelong Campus at Waurn Deakin was the only university to receive the Ponds. AFFRIC is a collaboration between highest scores given to any Australian university CSIRO-Materials and VCAMM (Victorian Centre for both Materials Engineering (5-outstanding for Advanced Materials Manufacturing), funded performance well above world standard) and by the Commonwealth’s Education Investment Manufacturing Engineering (4-performance Fund. It includes the co-location of CSIRO above world standard). These scores confirm Belmont Fibres Research group in new lab the excellent and world-class standard of facilities in the Geelong Technology Precinct research conducted in ITRI and indicate our (GTP), a new Fibre Processing Facility and the leading position in these fields. establishment of the Australian Carbon Fibre ITRI’S reputation for quality research facilities Research Facility (ACFRF). and outputs has grown world-wide.

Roll Forming Roll forming is a fast growing group within the CMFI, led by Dr Matthias Weiss. Roll forming is a traditional incremental bending process that is commonly used to manufacture building products (such as gutters). Due to its incremental nature, roll forming is a process that is suited to materials that are strong but not necessarily ductile. The continuing light weighting trend towards lighter and stronger materials has shifted research focus from readily formable materials with low strength to the development of material types with extreme and tailored properties generally at the expense of

formability. ITRI ANNUAL 2011 REPORT The group has six PhD students, two research fellows and two academic staff. The group was successful in being awarded an ARC Linkage grant with industry partners Wuhan Iron and Steel (Group) Corporation (WISCO), data M Software GmbH, Australian Rollforming Manufacturers and BlueScope to investigate flexible roll forming. 22 23 Fibres Fibres Cent r e fo r Fibres Cent r e fo r

Takagi-Sugeno-Kang fuzzy logic systems (IT2 TSK FLSs). The key idea in his proposed method is to treat the left and right end points of the type-reduced set as the lower and upper bounds of a PI. This allows us to construct PIs without making any special assumption about the data distribution. A new training algorithm is being developed to satisfy conditions imposed by the associated confidence level on PIs. Proper adjustment of premise and consequent parameters of IT2 TSK FLSs will be performed through the minimization of a PI-based objective function, rather than traditional error-based cost functions. This new cost function covers both validity and informativeness aspects of PIs. A meta-heuristic method is also applied for minimisation of the non-linear non-differentiable cost function. Quantitative measures are applied ITRI ANNUAL 2011 REPORT for assessing the quality of PIs constructed using IT2 TSK FLSs. The demonstrated results for four benchmark case studies with homogenous and heterogeneous noise clearly show the proposed method is capable of generating high-quality PIs useful for decision-making. 40 41 Director B ioin f ormatics D I R E C Bioinformatics and Cent r e fo r TO R’ |
