Acoustic properties of grains in storage systems.

Updated: 8 months ago
Location: Mount Lawley, WESTERN AUSTRALIA
Deadline: ;

Project Outline:

This project will extend the results obtained under a previous research grant with the GRDC. It will attempt to characterise the acoustic absorption properties of different grains (or grain phantoms) inside a grain storage silo. Acoustic signature detection is one method of detecting, identifying and monitoring insects insde such structures. However, there is a need to identify whether the acoustic signature from the insect will actually pass through the grain system and be detected.
