In most flows around a structure or object, the flow behind the object is characterized by a region of unsteady reverse flow. This unsteady fluid motion in the object wake induces a force upon the object or structure, which can cause flexible structures to vibrate. An ongoing engineering challenge is to understand how the wake […]

Groupe ABS fait aujourd’hui appelle à de nombreux sous-traitants dans le cadre de leurs forages pour connaitre la nature des sols sur les chantiers. La procédure suivie sur chantier pour la collecte des données de foration se repose principalement sur une fiche papier, et les résultats sont transmis ensuite par le biais de la plateforme […]

District energy systems are specialized and sophisticated energy solutions that require detailed design and analysis. Integration with utility infrastructure strengthens the resiliency and reliability of the energy services as it enables cities to achieve their energy savings targets and greenhouse gas emission targets. This research will investigate and model the use of distributed energy resources […]

The growing demand for mobility worldwide and the mass use of internal combustion engine drive systems poses major challenges for today’s society. Currently, the CO2 content in the atmosphere is continually increasing and concentrations of pollutants in many areas exceed the maximum permissible limits in many urban centers. Additionally, these engine emissions contribute significantly to […]

The objective of this project is to develop a hardware in-the-loop sailboat model software that can represent the sailboat’s performance during its mission. At its core, the controller will be programmed on an embedded processor, and will communicate with all of the sailboat’s sub-systems that can be modelled in software. First, to represent the sensor […]

Ocean plastics are a growing problem that affects our oceans health and livelihood. A large portion of this ocean plastic is abandoned, lost or discarded fishing gear (ALDFG). The project aims to develop new ways to recycle this source of ocean waste and determine product applications for the recycled waste. By evaluating different types of […]

Unlike in lossless compression, the decoder in a lossy compression system has flexibility in how to reconstruct the source. Conventionally, some measure of distortion such as mean squared error is used as a quality measure. Accordingly, lossy compression algorithms are analyzed through rate-distortion theory, wherein the objective is to minimize the amount of distortion for […]

Le projet de stage consiste en la conception et la validation d’un outil pour la génération de coussins thérapeutiques destinés aux personnes en fauteuil roulant. Cet outil s’inspirera d’un modèle géométrique personnalisable représentant le fessier d’une personne en position assise. Il sera adapté pour prendre en compte les besoins cliniques relatives à la morphologie des […]

The proposed research will involve studying the carbon footprint (i.e. the carbon emissions) involved in the preparation of magnesium oxychloride (MOC) cement materials. MOC cement has been proposed as a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditionally used Portland cement (PC), however many discrepancies arise as there is no work directly comparing their carbon footprints. In […]

Avec la mondialisation des marchés, la rareté de la main-d’oeuvre et l’expansion du réseau de vente des entreprises, certains phénomènes économiques, sociaux et environnementaux en place dans des pays contraignent les entreprises à revoir leurs modèles d’affaires et leurs plans de croissance. Afin d’augmenter la compétitivité, d’accroître l’agilité et la réactivité d’une entreprise face à […]

Le procédé de réhabilitation des chaussées de type retraitement en place avec stabilisation est fort intéressante puisqu’elle permet le réemploi complet des matériaux de chaussée en place, ce qui engendre une économie des ressources naturelles et d’énergie, de même qu’une réduction de la production de déchets CRD. Ce procédé existe depuis longtemps, mais son potentiel […]
