%%%% Main document of the article %%%%%%%%

\aasection{INTRODUCTION}

Please use this template to prepare your manuscript. Whilst there is no page limit or word number limit for your paper, please ensure your paper is not excessively long. You can submit your paper directly to the editor (Nicole Kessissoglou) at: {n.kessissoglou@unsw.edu.au}. The review process can be greatly sped up if you are able to provide the names and email addresses of at least 4 suitable reviewers for your paper.


\aasection{SECTION HEADINGS}

Major section headings should be in capital letters and Times New Roman with bold font and 12 point size. 


\aasubsection{Subheadings}

Subheadings are also in Times New Roman bold font 12 point size. Only the first letter of the subheading should be capitalized.


\aasubsubsection{sub-subheadings}

Sub-subheadings are in Times New Roman bold italics font 12 point size. Only the first letter in the sub-subheading should be capitalized


\aasection{OTHER IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING YOUR MANUSCRIPT}

There are several other instructions that should be carefully followed:

\aasubsection{Number of pages}

There is no page limit for your paper. 

\aasubsection{Equations}

Equations should be fully justified on the page and numbered consecutively beginning with (1). Equations should be separated from the body text by a single line of spacing, before and after. It is preferred that you use Equation Editor or a similar program for your equations as well as for the symbols in the main text. In Eq.~(1) below, $p (\mathbf{R})$ is the far-field radiated acoustic pressure at a field point $\mathbf{R}$.
\begin{align}
& p(\mathbf{R} ) = - \int _{S} \left( p_s \frac{\partial g\left( \left| \mathbf{R} - \mathbf{R}_0 \right| \right)}{\partial \xi}  +  \rho _f \ddot{w} g \left( \left| \mathbf{R} - \mathbf{R}_0 \right| \right) \right) \, dS\left( \mathbf{R}_0 \right) \\
& g \left( \left| \mathbf{R} - \mathbf{R}_0 \right| \right) = \frac{-e^{jk_f \left| \mathbf{R} - \mathbf{R}_0 \right|}}{ 4 \pi \left| \mathbf{R} - \mathbf{R}_0 \right|}
\end{align}

\aasubsection{Tables}

Where possible, the text for tables should be in Times New Roman. Table captions should be written with 12 point Times New Roman font and positioned above the table. Single line captions should be centred and multiple line captions should be fully justified.
\begin{table}[h!]
\caption{Cylindrical hull parameters}
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
\hline
{Parameter} & {Value} \\
\hline
{diameter, $d$ (m)} & {6.5} \\
\hline
{thickness, $h$ (mm)} & {45} \\
\hline
{length, $L$ (m)} & {45} \\
\hline
{Young's modulus, $E$ (GPa)} & {200} \\
\hline
{density, $\rho$ (kg/m$^3$)} & {7800} \\
\hline
{Poisson's ratio, $\nu$} & {0.3} \\
\hline
%\caption{Table}
\end{tabular}
\end{center}\end{table}

\aasubsection{Units}

The use of SI units is required. Units should not be in italics.

\aasubsection{Figures}

All figures must be individually numbered and captioned. Illustrations must be sharp and clear, including any lettering on the figures. Whilst you may include the figures within your paper for the review process, please provide the figures as separate files in the following format (in order of preference): tiff, eps, pdf, jpg. It is helpful if you provide your figures in more than one format. For example, if you provide your figures in both eps and tiff format, the format that provides the best resolution during the typesetting process will be used.
Figures can be provided in colour.

\begin{figure}[h!]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[scale=0.95]{receptance.pdf}
\end{center}
\caption{Drive point receptance: cylindrical shell model (---) and 1-D rod model ($\cdots\cdots$)}
\end{figure}

\aasection{SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION}

Following the body of the paper, the last section is normally the {\bf CONCLUSIONS} or {\bf SUMMARY} and should be labelled as such.

\aasection{REFERENCES}

Examples of the proper format for references are given below. The title of the journal, book or conference proceedings should be in italics. The volume number of a journal paper (i.e., 25 in the first example below) should be in bold font. For citations in the text use square brackets and numbers: \cite{Ingard}, \cite{Leissa}, \cite{Ingard,Leissa}, \cite{Ingard,Leissa,Junger_Feit,Pan_Farag}. The numbering of references should be in ascending order.

%%% reference items. The following `setlength' command may have be 
%%% commented out.
