Buried pipeline systems form a key part of effective and safe infrastructures for the transportation of natural resources such as natural gas and liquid. However, they may be constructed in areas prone to landslides where ground movement may exert excessive strains on the pipe sections causing rupture. This project develops and presents a methodology for […]

La soudure par friction-malaxage à double épaulement (FSW) est une technique solide en plein essor avec des avantages tels que l’absence de fusion du matériau et des propriétés mécaniques améliorées des joints. Cependant, la norme actuelle ne fournit pas de données sur les propriétés mécaniques du FSW, ce qui limite son utilisation. Un projet propose […]

Les fourgonnettes de livraison commerciales doivent éteindre et redémarrer leur moteur à combustion interne plusieurs fois par jour (plus de 100 fois). Ces démarrages fréquents sollicitent intensivement l’ensemble du circuit de puissance électrique 12 Vcc. En conséquence, l’accumulateur plomb-acide, l’alternateur ou le démarreur sont remplacés à chaque année de façon préventive afin d’éviter des pannes […]

Canada’s infrastructure is falling apart quickly, and we can’t replace it fast enough. In 2020, Ontario’s municipal infrastructure needed around $52 billion in repairs, according to a recent study by the Financial Accountability Officer of Ontario. If we keep postponing repairs, there’s a big risk of services getting disrupted and maintenance costs skyrocketing. The problem […]

Le projet proposé consiste à développer un système d’intelligence artificielle (IA) capable de transcrire et comprendre les commandes vocales utilisées dans l’annotation des compétitions sportives. L’objectif est de réduire la dépendance à l’égard des opérateurs humains pour la reconnaissance des séquences de jeu, en utilisant uniquement la reconnaissance audio.

Our research project aims to transform shrimp waste into valuable resources, chitin, and hydrochar, benefiting seafood companies by improving waste management and profitability. The problem we are tackling is the harmful disposal of shrimp waste by these companies, causing environmental damage, economic losses, and missed opportunities. Hydrothermal uses heat, pressure, and water to potentially separate […]

Zirconium alloys are widely used in nuclear reactors due to their low absorption cross section against thermal neutrons and good mechanical properties. Inside the core of reactors, the hot water coolant reacts with zirconium and releases hydrogen into the zirconium lattice. With time, hydrogen concentration increases leading to the formation of a brittle phase known […]

Le remblai en pâte cimenté (RPC) est le matériau le plus utilisé dans les mines souterraines pour combler les vides créés à la suite de l’extraction du minerai grâce à ses performances mécaniques bien établies. Afin d’assurer une stabilité des terrains lors de l’exploitation minière, il est nécessaire d’étudier les propriétés mécaniques de ce matériau […]

The research project aims to make pipelines in the Arctic safer and more cost-effective. It’s like finding the best way to protect a vital lifeline underwater from ice bumps. By studying how the ice, the seabed, and the pipeline interact, we’ll figure out the smartest way to bury the pipeline and the material to put […]

Individuals suffering from sleep-related breathing disorders, such as sleep apnea, exhibit moderate to excessive snoring which is often ignored or neglected. This neglect can increase the risk of more severe health problems such as stroke, hypertension, chronic heart failure, diabetes, and many others. Moreover, an Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) episode – characterized by periodic and […]

Clean Ocean Watch (COW) Platform is a solution designed to tackle the critical problem of oil spills in our oceans. Oil spills have destructive consequences for marine ecosystems, coastal communities, and economies worldwide. We are going to design a platform that utilizes the power of Sentinel-1 free-of-charge satellite data, which provides high-resolution radar imagery, allowing […]
