Concerning global warming and depletion of fossil fuel reserves, the integration of distributed energy generators into grids is rapidly increasing in the last decades. However, the distributed generators degrade power quality and may damage loads when islanding occurs in a part of the grid. To overcome these issues, all distributed generators must be equipped with […]

Le but du projet est de développer une méthode de gestion thermique des batteries d’un robot à propulsion électrique pour l’inspection de stations électriques. Ce véhicule devrait diminuer l’intervention humaine dans les sites éloignés, en faisant de l’inspection contrôlée à distance. Un défi majeur de ce type de véhicule est la capacité de stocker de […]

Le projet de recherche proposé sera effectué en collaboration avec Hydro-Québec et a pour objectif une meilleure compréhension des mécanismes à l’origine de l’instabilité des parois rocheuses par une analyse de quelques cas répertoriés dans le cadre du projet hydroélectrique de La Romaine. La méthodologie proposée comporte trois volets : i) Des analyses numériques par […]

The material properties of thermoplastic polymer composite parts manufactured by the fused filament fabrication additive manufacturing process are highly dependent on the thermal history. A good understanding of the heat transfer in fused filament fabrication is crucial for an accurate stress prediction and subsequently for repetitive, high-quality printing. A numerical simulation to model the thermal […]

Le but de ce projet consiste à automatiser les mesures acoustiques dans un bâtiment à l’aide d’un robot mobile qui se déplace de manière autonome à semi-autonome d’une position de mesures à l’autre et déclenche de lui-même ces mesures à l’aide d’un sonomètre relié à un microphone. Le projet de recherche consiste à développer la […]

Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) simulations allow researchers to model complex devices and systems based on integrated micro/nano structures. The electrodynamic behaviour predicted by FDTD simulations match very well with the real physical systems, which significantly accelerates the development of novel devices. However, there are limitations in existing FDTD techniques to model metal nanoparticles on […]

Climate change is one of the greatest threats to human health in the 21st century, with approximately one in four worldwide, attributable to environmental factors (1). Ironically, healthcare itself is responsible for 5% of annual global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, equivalent to airplane travel (2). Within healthcare, kidney care services have substantial environmental impacts compared […]

This project examines to the innovative use of Augmented Reality (AR) technologies that have yet to be fully integrated in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. The research focuses on the capacity of AR to bridge the gap between design and construction. The role of the student is to conduct an initial literature review […]

Ce projet vise à développer une méthode d’estimation du temps de production de pièces similaires par apprentissage automatique. Cette méthode fournira une estimation de chaque champ du temps de production d’une pièce d’avion en ayant comme données d’entrée l’historique de fabrication de pièces similaires. L’estimation du temps de production permettra de raccourcir le délai tant […]

As a full-service, data-driven solutions provider for aviation, SKYTRAC Systems is developing new 2-MCU satellite communications (SATCOM) terminal, SDL-350, which will be capable of achieving globally available broadband transfer rates of 352 kbps both to and from the aircraft. One critical challenge facing the R&D engineers of SDL-350 is the thermal management, because the power […]

The project involves the investigation and optimization of carbon electrodes to achieve efficient perovskite photovoltaic devices for indoor and outdoor applications based on a method that can be used for industrial production. The intern will first study the optimization of carbon electrodes for solar cells, which will involve materials and device engineering. Then, the intern […]

In shipbuilding industry, selecting an appropriate grade of steel and the associated characterization techniques, tailored well for low temperature application, have always been a challenge. This subject can be even more critical when we are talking about the materials selection and the characterization techniques for polar class icebreakers. Therefore, Chantier Davie Canada Inc. (CDCI) in […]
