In this project, the effects of storage time on the heating value of wood pellets are investigated. During relatively long-term storage and transportation, pellets may lose part of its heating value, which could translate to financial losses. However, for a limited and shorter storage time, studies have shown that pellets could have a slight gain […]

This Ph.D. study will focus on simulating and validating soil flow behavior models using numerical terramechanics for three distinct applications of soil flow behaviors from operations of construction equipment: hauling loose material (wheel loader), excavation of soil (backhoe loader/excavator) and pushing large quantities of soil (bulldozer). Numerical terramechanics models will be compared with DEM models […]

La planification intégrée de la maintenance et de la production revêt une importance cruciale en industrie. Dans le cas des centrales hydro-électriques, il est très important d’optimiser conjointement les ventes et la pérennité du parc de production. Or, en raison de la pression constante pour faire plus de profits de vente, il arrive souvent que […]

Sea stacks are natural pillars of rock that are usually found on shorelines. They are fascinating formations that are popular destinations for geotourism, including at the Hopewell Rocks Provincial Park, New Brunswick and Flowerpot Island in Fathom Five Marine Park, Ontario. As they experience continuous wave and tidal erosion, sea stacks eventually collapse. Given their […]

Wound dressings are indispensable in medical operation as they protect the wound from contamination by foreign matter, absorb wound exudate and control the humidity of the wound to promote healing. Mitigating technology can be integrated in modern wound dressings to expedite the healing process and reduce scarring. In this proposal, we will develop an innovative […]

The research project consists of the intern finalizing the transfer of data between components of the WiDR Inc wide dynamic range sensor. After this communication path is completed, the intern will design an external interface to showcase the sensors capabilities, this will help with developing the chip, without a driving computer. The intern will also […]

Actuellement les prothèses d’épaules dites inversées sont préconisées dans le cas de coiffe des rotateurs endommagée. Ces prothèses assurent la stabilité de l’articulation mais limitent la mobilité articulaire, notamment en élévation du bras. Pour pallier cette déficience, Statera Medical propose un design de prothèse innovant avec un degré de liberté additionnel. En collaboration avec le […]

Global warming is one of the largest environmental issues these days and the increasing greenhouse gases(GHGs) emission such as CO2, CH4 and N2O is the leading reason for global warming. The main sources of CH4 emission are rice cultivating systems and cattle rearing, meanwhile, N2O mainly come from the application of fertilizers. Many factors in […]

Thales est une entreprise où les personnes les plus brillantes du monde entier se regroupent pour mettre en commun leurs idées et ainsi s’inspirer mutuellement. Dans tous les secteurs où œuvre Thales, notamment l’aérospatiale, le transport, la défense, la […]

Rammed earth materials can bring many advantages regarding its low energy consuming and environment impacts and high thermal mass. To overcome the time consuming and labor-intensive process of construction, self-consolidating earth concrete (SCEC) can be an innovative solution to facilitate placement, consolidation, and achieve good performance. The Phase 1 will identify the optimum volume of […]

Les indices de durabilité représentant les 3 modes de transport de l’eau et des agents agressifs dans le béton (perméabilité, absorption et diffusion) et permettant une évaluation de la durabilité du matériau ont été historiquement mesurés sur des bétons sains. Néanmoins, ces mesures ne reflétaient pas la réalité de structures fissurées et soumises à des […]

The project consists in fabricating transparent electrodes using a method that can be used for industrial production. They are a key component to make semi-transparent perovskite solar cells, which can be an energy-producing alternative to windows and building facades. The intern will do preliminary studies on the electrodes by depositing them using a well-documented, lab-scale […]
