La fabrication additive par soudage ultrasons combine la soudure par ultrasons de métaux et l’usinage de ces derniers à l’intérieur du même appareil. Cette méthode de mise en oeuvre est principalement présente dans les domaines de l’aéronautique, de l’aérospatiale, de l’automobile et de l’électronique. Il s’agit d’un type de soudure dit « à froid » […]

Recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) are land based fish farms that recycle the water from the fish tanks using multiple water treatment processes. Fish produce large amounts of carbon dioxide, through respiration, that needs to be removed during the water treatment process since high levels of carbon dioxide are hazardous to fish. Currently the most common […]

Rapid growth of renewable energy generation and DC loads as electric vehicles and consumer electronics results in the proliferation of DC microgrids. DC microgrids are small electrical grids where energy sources and loads are connected to a main energy distribution power line using power converters. A particular example of the use of DC microgrids can […]

Afin d’améliorer son impact environnemental, nos partenaires souhaite remplacer une partie de ces produits d’origines pétrolières par un matériel innovant issus du produit de la recherche de l’UQTR. Ce produit, la bio-huile pyrolytique, est obtenue par pyrolyse de résidus forestiers de la forêt de La tuque. C’est-à-dire par combustion en absence d’oxygène. Le produit formé […]

This project seeks to understand how a next-generation nuclear reactor, a molten salt reactor, behaves under various conditions. Particular attention is paid to aspects of the reactor’s performance that could have an impact on its safe operation. This research focuses on how the various properties of the reactor evolve in time after a change to […]

I-joists are composite timber beams mainly used in roof and flooring systems. They consist of oriented strand board (OSB) webs and timber flanges. For post-construction purposes, these beams are often drilled in the web or notched through the flange in order to pass the electrical/mechanical facilities through the openings. This can result in a significantly […]

The use of garbage trucks with “robot arms” for municipal waste collection is becoming more and more common in Ontario and across North America. However, these “robots” have very little capability. In our collaboration with Waterloo Controls, we are working to automate the process of garbage collection. Rather than requiring the operator to acquire the […]
