High-strength aluminum alloys (AA) are extensively used for landing gears given their low density compared to steel. All AA parts undergo special processes after machining such as shot peening and anodizing. Because the impact of the special processes on the fatigue properties of the material is not very well known, conservative security factors are used […]

This research aims to provide an affordable, clean energy alternative to meet the world’s cooling demands. As global warming, urbanization, and society’s dependency on digital storage increases, the world’s cooling demands continue to rapidly grow with predictions showing that they will outweigh heating demands by 2060. The majority of these demands are currently being met […]

Polytechnique Montréal va développer un simulateur numérique pour recréer la réalité actuelle des stations de pompage en série dont le fonctionnement est basé sur des niveaux, ajouter un contrôle virtuel basé sur le débit et opérer les stations à distance en faisant un diagnostic en temps réel, dans le but d’effectuer une économie d’électricité du […]

Reliable high speed wireless data transmission is the primary goal of future cellular systems. A key impediment towards that goal is interference on receivers from transmitters in adjacent cells. Coordinating transmissions between clusters of transmitters is one way of solving this problem. This coordination is more difficult when the types of transmitters and cell sizes […]

A novel approach is taken to reduce vibration through the design of a passive smart device with the use of magnetic actuators. In the proposed device, magnets are arranged in a particular alignment, so as to attenuate the resulting vibrations from the explosion at the moment of firing. The device has shown to be effective […]

Stope backfilling with mining wastes has witnessed an increasing trend in the mining industry. Prior to filling underground stopes, barricades must be constructed at the base near the entrance of the stopes to retain backfill slurry. Over the past years, a number of barricade failures have been reported. The consequences associated with a barricade failure […]

COVID-19 has significantly impacted the world. Nucleic acid, CT, and fever tests are standard tests, but they suffer from various limitations. For instance, CT requires large & expensive equipment. The nucleic acid test is not portable and takes at least two days. As sensor technologies get more advanced, a portable, low-cost and fast diagnosis COVID-19 […]

Ce projet a pour but d’étudier les caractéristiques d’une petite entreprise en matière de communication et de partage des connaissances. Plus spécifiquement, ce projet prend pour sujet d’étude une fromagerie montréalaise afin de comprendre les avantages et les inconvénients d’être une PME face aux défis du transfert des connaissances. L’étude se composera d’une revue de […]

Online social networks model and operate primarily on explicit relationships between people. However, many high-value social activities are not mediated by relationships of this kind. Instead, people who may not know each other nonetheless co-ordinate their activities because they attend to similar cues in their cultural environment. This research work aims at exploring ways to […]

This project intends to develop a new platform for lasers operating in the mid-infrared, an invisible portion of the optical spectrum where molecules have unique signatures that allow identifying what is present in which quantity in a gas sample or in a chemical sample. These lasers can be used in tele detection for instance to […]

With the advancement of methods based on artificial-intelligence, computer vision and deep learning, activities concerning progress monitoring, safety management, and quality control can be automated that leads to saving in time and cost. With the collaboration with partner industry, computer-vision approaches are going to be employed in order to find an improved method that utilizes […]

Les simulateurs de vols sont devenus des instruments indispensables pour former les pilotes et membres d’équipages. Le leader mondial dans la conception de ces simulateurs est CAE, une entreprise Canadienne comptant plus de 10 000 salariées. Cependant, afin de garder une longueur d’avance sur ses concurrents, il est nécessaire de constamment ajouter de nouvelles fonctionnalités […]
