Design and Analysis of Picocells in Wireless Cellular Networks

Future wireless networks demands ubiquitous coverage and higher data rates at low infrastructure cost. The novel network deployment where macro base-stations overlaid with low power nodes referred as picocell is the most promising solution towards this goal. The proposed research project intends to evaluate the system-level performance of the picocell wireless network. To quantify the […]

Virtual testing platform for design and optimization of cantilever-typesensors

Using a multiphysics approach, the intern will construct a model for the topological optimization of two distinct classes of cantilever-type sensors: one often encountered in the general industrial application and the other one customized for the specific needs of a biosensor. Altair Hyperworks will be the main software tool to be used for this particular […]

Improving Powder Performance by Development and Optimization of Industrial Lubricants and Mixing Technology for Powder Metallurgy

Ideal flow, high-volume Powder Metallurgy (PM) manufacturing can achieve uniform, consistent filling of die cavities, leading to high productivity, low rejection rates, improved part integrity and consistent part dimensions. The type and amount of lubricant, size and shape of lubricant particles, mixing parameters and certain environmental conditions all significantly influence the flow characteristics and apparent […]

Computational and experimental characterization of mechanical performance of cross laminated timber (CLT)

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is an engineered wood panel typically consisting of multiple layers of glued timber stacked in a cross-ply layup. Timber shows a strong anisotropic mechanical behavior due to its microstructure. With a cross lamination, the CLT possesses superior dimensional stability, strength and rigidity, in comparison to traditional wood products. In Canada, CLT is […]

Improving Metallic Yield in a Steel Rolling Plant through Optimization

The objective of this project is to use optimization to improve metallic yield (the percentage of raw material that ends up as usable product) in an ArcelorMittal Steel Rolling Plant. The metallic yield of the rolling operations depends upon the length of billets from which the final product is manufactured. Ideally, a single customer order […]
