Data centers are being deployed worldwide. They provide the fundamental computing and communication resources for both business customers and regular consumers. Different from traditional data centers, today’s data centers must have the capability to provide services to millions of users on a dynamic basis. New data centers are designed to deploy large number of commodity […]

Le but de ce projet de recherche est de poursuivre Ie developpement d’un code de mesures de deformations par correlation d’images. II s’agit d’une technique permettant d’evaluer les deformations subies par une piece sollicitee mecaniquement a partir d’images prises a di fferents instants. Le principe consiste a com parer chaque image deformee a une image […]

Main aim of this project is to develop a prediction model for cancer projection, with detailed information regarding incidence, mortality and other measures of cancer burden for the most common types of cancer, presented by age, sex, time and geographic locations. These data can help stimulatenew research as well as assist decision-making and priority-setting at […]

Explosive eruptions on the sun’s surface eject charged particles that may travel the earth path. They cause disturbances in earth’s magnetic field and as a result, a low frequency current is induced in electrical power system transmission lines. The induced current increases operating temperature of power transformers. This overheating reduces lifetime of the transformer and […]

There is a growing demand when it comes to the repairing of the coke drum since most of the current in-use coke drums has been in service for decades. This study will develop a new methodology to assess the microstructure evolution and thermal mechanical properties of service-exposed coke drums. The focus of experiments of this […]

Le but du projet est d’accompagner l’entreprise CCM Hockey dans sa transformation vers l’adoption de pratiques environnementales plus vertes, en lien avec les principes du développement durable (DD) et de l’économie circulaire (ÉC). Le projet est divisé en trois étapes. Premièrement, une étude d’étalonnage (« benchmarking ») des meilleurs pratiques de circularité en milieu manufacturier […]

The conventional utility pole design methodologies used a decade or so ago produced poles that would be considered “safe” but in most cases they were not cost-effective solutions. This is because the resulting poles were usually over-designed, mainly due to several simplifying assumptions and incorporation of various rules-of-thumbs in the design procedures. Such design practices […]

Water quench of steels consists to cool heated steel by sudden immersion in water. During the quench of large steel components, the part experiences a fast drop in temperature at the surface while the center is still hot. This huge difference in temperature within the part triggers material heterogeneities that induces shape change or even […]

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a debilitating musculoskeletal disease affecting approximately 1/3 of Canadians over the age of 25. Knee braces are often prescribed for OA patients to restore joint function and reduce pain in an attempt to avoid or delay knee replacement surgery. Most braces are designed to offload one side of the knee, however, more […]

geographical area in real time using synchrophasor technology enables the design of power system controllers against system wide disturbances which could lead to catastrophic failures. Currently, the synchrophasor technology is primarily used for monitoring applications and its potential for using in protection and stability control is not fully utilized. Therefore, this research is proposed with […]

MMS (Mobile Mapping System) contains three principal components: positioning sensors, measurement sensors and mobile vehicle. This kind of system records geospatial data and provide GIS applications like: supervising of highway state, monitoring of electricity poles, collecting data of public services (telecommunications lines, electricity transmission lines, traffic signpost and pedestrian areas). In this context, our solution […]

De nouvelles applications de surfaces interactives sont en plein essor telles que les écrans tactiles surdimensionnés et complètement transparents, des éléments d’habitacles interactifs dans les véhicules autonomes ou encore du mobilier interactif. Pour de telles applications, les technologies tactiles actuelles (capacitive, résistive, infrarouge) ne s’appliquent pas ou deviennent trop coûteuses. Une nouvelle technologie tactile par […]
