Analyzing and Reducing the Carbon Footprint in Concrete Block Manufacturing Processes

The proposed project for carbon footprint analysis of concrete block will benefit the community. Demand on concrete blocks is increasing dramatically and such massive production of these blocks contributes to an estimated 5% of Carbon emission of total carbon present in atmosphere. Thus, this analysis will help understanding and subsequently reducing carbon footprint of concrete […]

Calcul des performances d’un fuselage intégré hybride en régime transsonique

En 2015, la NASA, Boeing et Pratt & Whitney ont entrepris des études expérimentales et numériques pour calculer les performances d’un fuselage intégré hybride (HWB), désigné N2A-EXTE 0009H1, pour tous les régimes de vol, dont celles en transsonique. Le but de ces études était de vérifier un concept d’intégration moteur avec cette cellule d’avion non-conventionnelle. […]

Localisation optimale de produits à l’entrepôt de Thomas & Betts à Bromont

Le projet de recherche consiste à développer un outil d’aide à la décision qui permettra à Thomas & Betts d’optimiser l’emplacement des produits dans deux zones à taux de roulement élevé de son centre de distribution de Bromont. L’outil permettra de minimiser les temps de prélèvement des vagues sur une période donnée ou encore d’optimiser […]

Development of lead-free journal bearings

To operate, the surfaces inside an aircraft engine must withstand several conditions, such as temperature and pressure, which will cause the components to wear over time. To prevent wear and reduce maintenance costs, the manufacturer of such engines usually uses several different techniques to enhance the surface’s resistance. However, some of these techniques, such as […]

Holistic view of electric energy systems, including Social, Technical, Environment, Economics, and Policy considerations

This project focuses on creating interdisciplinary educational program within the energy field. The goal is to address the challenge of engineers struggling to collaborate effectively with colleagues from different backgrounds – both within and outside of engineering. By integrating energy principles with business, political, and environmental considerations, this project aims to equip future engineers with […]

Conception d’un logiciel pour un système de commande de portes palières (PDI)

Les portes palières sont des portes automatiques que l’on retrouve en bordure de voie au niveau des quais des stations de métro et qui séparent physiquement les quais et la voie de métro, dans le but d’empêcher toute intrusion non désirée. Le projet vise à développer un système autonome de communication trains/portes-palières, nommé PDI (Platform […]

Avion sans pilote dans l’atmosphère martienne

L’idée du projet est de concevoir à un niveau préliminaire un avion qui volerait dans l’atmosphère martien. La pression au « niveau de référence » de la planète – la surface fictive qui sert de niveau de la mer sur Mars sans mer – s’avère n’être que d’environ six millibars, soit six millièmes de la […]

Functional Cost Methodology for Automotive Lightweighting

To meet CAFE standards for fuel economy, many new projects are being undertaken. One such method being investigated to achieve these standards is vehicle lightweighting. Each lightweighting project has an associated cost and will have an impact on various functional groups of the vehicle. During this internship, the related functional benefits of lightweighting will be […]

Novel data augmentation with image mixing for machine learning-based classification of preclinical positron emission tomography images

We have developed a novel data augmentation procedure that can significantly enhance machine learning-based classification of different brain imaging scans. We will further expand this program to be used to create a novel animal model of brain diseases which will allow researchers to investigate earliest signs of diseases, the progression rates of which may vary […]
