The fashion industry has recently shifted toward better environmental practices but focus has been on apparel because shoes are complex products. ARSHAE, located in Montréal, proposes an end-to-end solution that accounts for the entire life cycle of shoes by building a closed loop system that enables zero waste. ARSHAE focuses on using ecological materials in […]

Because of the usefulness of non-destructive testing in the assessment of different types of materials, they have attracted widespread interest in the last years. Non-destructive testing (NDT) is a descriptive term used for the examination of materials and components in such a way that allows materials to be examined without changing or destroying their function. […]

Les cartographies et modèles urbains en 3D sont des représentations indispensables afin de visualiser et d’augmenter l’environnement dans les applications exploitées par des utilisateurs mobiles, qu’ils soient des professionnels (ex. ingénieurs civils, …) ou des citoyens. Les dernières années ont vu un développement remarquable des systèmes de télémétrie mobile (i.e. LiDAR), installés sur des véhicules […]

Spinal fixation, the process by which a broken spine is mended, or a deformed spine corrected, can involve the placement of tens of pedicle screws during lengthy surgical operations. With an ageing population the overall demand for these procedures is increasing. Surgeon fatigue is an issue in these procedures and has demonstrated decreased performance. Our […]

Anaerobic Digesters are used in farm-based, municipal and industrial settings to convert wastes (manure and crop residues) as well as other feedstock material (fat, grease, oil and food wastes) to biogas. Produced digestate is rich in nutrients such as phosphate, nitrogen, (and other minor nutrients) and is mixed with water that makes the transportation costly […]

Electrical heating of oil sands allows for production in situ in a mode similar to conventional liquid oil production. This avoids disturbing and redistributing the overburden and production sands. A further advantage of electrical heating is that the power consumption can be matched to the availability of sources such as wind power.

Ocean industries and researchers need the on-site oceanographic and environmental data, but collecting that data is costly, challenging, and time-consuming. Unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) offer a promising solution for marine data collection. Equipped with oceanographic sensors, cameras and communication devices, the USV Data Xplorer developed by Open Ocean Robotics can voyage for extended periods thanks […]

L’objectif principal est de mettre à disposition de notre partenaire industriel Bodyform3D des outils informatisés innovants afin d’améliorer et d’enrichir leurs technologies (plateforme d’acquisition et de modélisation 3D) pour répondre à des besoins dans le domaine médical avec une application pour le traitement en urgence des grands brûlés ou pour la mensuration de sujets pour […]

Realistic driving experience in motion simulators is a key element for the impressiveness of the VR based simulators. In the driving simulator the free motion of the vehicle is mapped to a motion platform with limited workspace by filtering out the motion and scaling it down with a motion cueing algorithm. These algorithms should be […]

Ce projet permettra à Pi-Sol Technologies, notre partenaire industriel, de développer des encres actives innovantes et performantes à faibles coûts pour des applications diverses incluant les énergies renouvelables. Les produits développés seront très compétitifs dans un marché nouveau et ouvert dont la valeur atteindra, dès 2020, des milliards de dollars. Le projet regroupe des partenaires […]

This research proposed a method to conduct optimal CLT building design, which has minimum CLT usage and minimum operating energy consumption. This is a multidisciplinary research pushing the boundary of current definition of optimal design for each disciplinary to another level. With the developing of Building information modeling and automized simulation-optimization technology, the design of […]

Currently, the design method of haul road pavements cannot address the rolling resistance under the effects of stabilizers in pavement design. To address this, the overall objective of this research is to develop a new design approach using finite element modeling for mine haul road pavements with stabilized layers. In particular, the prediction of rolling […]
