The new generation of complex composites structures that will be developed by Hutchinson and its partners will integrate several functions, as esthetic interior panel, acoustic, thermal and vibration isolation, in addition to mechanical and robustness contribution brought by the integrated structure. These new technologies will allow to reduce the amount of parts, and also to […]

Bombardier Aerospace intends to develop novel human-machine interfaces for their next generation business aircrafts sold to corporations or high-net worth individuals. Intensive research is expected to define, develop, integrate, and evaluate the performance of new interface concepts that will allow the passengers to most comfortably interact with the Cabin Management System (CMS), control their environment […]

With the increased demand for electric power and the need to reduce green house gas emission, newer power plants (fossil fuel or nuclear based) are being designed with elevated turbine inlet temperature to improve thermodynamic efficiencies and achieve other benefits. The much severe operating conditions (than that in the existing power plants) presents great challenges […]

This project focuses on the development of Electric Conductive Concrete (ECC) pavements which can efficiently reduce the cost of snow removal of Quebec. Recent research has proven that temperature regulated pavements can melt snow and ice. By taking advantage of all latest technology in conductive inclusions, the project aims will develop an optimized ECC mix […]

In this project, we will develop and evaluate an autonomous, unmanned aerial photogrammetry system for metric inspection of hard-to-reach vertical infrastructures, such as telecommunication towers and high-rise buildings. Metric inspection means identifying and measuring the facts that may have an impact on health conditions of assets, such as changes in tower alignment or deformations of […]

Le développement des systèmes intelligents dans les véhicules modernes est complexe et doit remplir autant les exigences des conducteurs que celles de la sécurité des véhicules. Les directions assistées des petits véhicules hors route n’y font pas exception surtout lorsqu’on considère que plusieurs de ces véhicules sont utilisés à des fins récréatives seulement. Le développement […]

Continuous fibre (CF) aerospace preforms exhibiting excellent mechanical performance possess low formability characteristics and are confined to simple shell-like geometries with minimal curvatures. On the other hand, short fibre preforms such as randomly oriented strands (ROS) offer high formability but exhibit low mechanical performance. The manufacturing of composites involves time and huge costs. The overall […]

Depuis les vingt dernières années, l’informatique et ses exigences de bas voltage ont bouleversé l’équilibre qui était établi et perturbé la loi qui régente la répartition des tâches parmi les métiers et la loi sur les maîtres électriciens qui accorde une juridiction exclusive à certaines entreprises. Par conséquent, nous sommes devant une situation problématique vis-à-vis […]

Pyrometallurgical processes have long been used for producing ferronickel alloy. Rotary kiln – Electric furnace (RKEF) is one of the most important technologies for producing ferronickel. The process involves partial reduction of the ore in the rotary kiln with the addition of fuels and reductants. During the process, some impurities present in the fuels and […]

By creating real-time and hardware porotypes, the proposed research provides opportunities for better investigation of these converters and for development of advanced and effective methods for their control. The three interns that will be trained during this research partnership will gain in-depth knowledge of modern power system equipment and knowledge of the latest developments in […]

L’objectif du projet de recherche qui sera réalisé à l’Université d’Aix-Marseille est de créer et valider un modèle numérique de la tête, du cou et du torse. Ce modèle permettra d’évaluer l’effet des colliers cervicaux préhospitaliers sur la mobilité et les contraintes mécaniques dans la moelle épinière suite à une blessure au cou. Les colliers […]

The emerging high dynamic range (HDR) displays provide a much larger range of luminances compared to conventional low dynamic range (LDR) displays, thereby improving the visual impression of the displayed images or videos. With the advent of HDR displays, a number of key questions have been raised regarding the design of modern HDR displays. Most […]
