In order to reduce the structural weight and operating cost of the aircraft, hybrid structures composed of composite skins and metallic sub-structures are commonly used as components of the wing and fuselage. The skin temperature change of the aircraft during takeoff and landing causes different amounts of deformation in composite and metallic materials due to […]

Hemodialysis (HD) Units are the ambulatory care clinic for patients with the chronic kidney disease. There are 136 beds/chairs for over 400 patients per day at 3 HD facilities in Winnipeg. Inefficient workflows were identified from the previous study. This research will search solutions using methods of the system modeling and simulation to identify areas […]

The global acceleration of the information technology creates pressing needs for cost-effective broadband, high-density, and high-speed data interconnections for high-performance, energy-efficient signal processing and computing. This increasing demand will push the limits of the electrical interconnects by forcing the transmission distance to shrink, which limits architectures and exacerbates heat dissipation challenges as a result of […]

Plusieurs sociétés de transport collectif par bus disposent maintenant de système de positionnement des véhicules en temps réel, ce qui permet d’améliorer le suivi de l’opération et de présenter des horaires en temps réel aux voyageurs. Cependant, il demeure difficile de bien prévoir les heures d’arrivées des bus aux arrêts, notamment en mode dégradé, en […]

Exonetik est une jeune entreprise en pleine croissance qui développe une nouvelle technologie d’actionneurs mécanique à l’aide d’un fluide magnétorhéologique permettant d’imiter les mouvements de l’être humain. L’objectif général du projet de recherche est d’étudier le potentiel technologique de ces actionneurs pour l’application d’un mini manche haptique. Le projet a pour objectif spécifique de réaliser […]

Ce projet a pour but développer un outil pour améliorer nos capacités à prédire la nature et les amplitudes des sollicitations mécaniques sur une roue de turbine hydraulique type Francis pour les régimes stationnaire et transitoire. Plus spécifiquement, le projet a pour objectif le développement et la validation d’un modèle de calibration et d’interpolation spatiale […]

Le projet a pour but d’analyser le comportement d’un fluide diphasique, mélange de bauxite et d’eau, dans un classificateur à fond plat soumis à l’effet de plusieurs paramètres. Une étude expérimentale utilisant un classificateur à échelle réduite permet d’effectuer les mesures de fraction solide (pourcentage de solide dans l’échantillon) aux sorties du classificateur, des vitesses […]

This project will investigate the applicability and merits of battery chemistries for use in a utility substation, where longevity, reliability, and security are prime considerations. The project aims to characterize the process of battery aging when batteries are used under representative utility substation loading profiles in order to determine how fast the batteries will age […]

Several thousand new pumpjacks are installed in Alberta oil fields each year. Hence, for obvious reasons, developing efficient Pump-jack technology is important to the oil and gas community. The project investigates the process and control systems with particular applications in dynamic modeling of oil and gas well pump-jacks which is also known as the sucker-rod […]

The certification of aircraft seats is a very costly process, and such the design of these seats is a detailed and time-consuming task. All new aircraft seat designs must go through rigorous physical testing to be certified as airworthy as per the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs). Because of this, many seats are overdesigned to avoid […]

The key objective of this research is to test the Refuse-Derived Fuel supplied by ICC and investigate parameters Involved In making durable pellets from these residues. This will include conducting a series of pelletization tests with different mixture recipe, pre-conditioning of material as well as adding binders. The produced pellets will then be tested for […]

With the rise in fuel prices, operators are constantly pushing aircraft manufacturers to find new ways to reduce their aircraft’s operating costs. One of the objectives of this project is to create a Bombardier toolkit for the C Series. This will allow the operators to input parameters such as the miss-rigging present on their control […]
