This project develops a new project management method for software development targeting next-generation network providing unprecedented quality of cellular service to Canadians and small and medium businesses, stimulating innovations and improving the quality of life of our people. Relying on the ENCQOR infrastructure, which is the first 5G network in Canada supported by three governments […]

The aero-engine design process is highly iterative, multidisciplinary and complex in nature. The success of an engine depends on a carefully balanced design that best exploits the interactions between numerous traditional engineering disciplines such as aerodynamics and structures as well as lifecycle analysis of cost, manufacturability, serviceability and supportability. Pratt & Whitney Canada (P&WC) is […]

This project applies wide-bandgap (WBG) transistors to voltage level multiplier module (VLMM) topology in motor inverter applications. It is expected that this approach can yield the benefits of WBG motor inverters (high motor efficiency, fast control response, lower motor torque ripple, close to ideal sinusoidal motor current waveform, smaller filter size, lower cost filter, etc.) […]

Selon Skate canada, près de 180 000 Canadiens pratiquent le patinage artistique de façon structurée, dont 10% représentent l’élite. La réception de sauts en patinage artistique implique de grandes forces d’impact, représentant environ 3 à 9 fois le poids corporel de l’athlète. La répétition de cette mise en charge excessive au niveau articulaire mène éventuellement […]

L’objectif principal du projet de recherche est de développer une nouvelle technique économique de fabrication de pièces en matériaux composites à haute performance, pour le domaine aeronautique et operationnel chez Marquez. L’integration des nouvelles techniques vise I’amelioration de la robustesse du procede, en minimisant les temps de cycle, les pieces rejets et en limitant la […]

Structural health monitoring (SHM) is a major area of interest for the aerospace community, especially considering aging aircraft where the growing maintenance costs, estimated to $10,4 billion worldwide annually, can reduce their economic life. The long-term goal of the industry is to deploy SHM systems which will 1) meet the in-service inspection requirements with sensors […]

Ce projet s’inscrivant dans le domaine de l‘ingénierie de visualisation 3D a pour principale objectif de permettre la manipulation de différents types de formats de CAD (Computer Aided Design). Actuellement, les manipulations de formats tel que les nuages de points ou les éléments maillés se font de manière séparée, empêchant le plein potentiel d’un modèle […]

STAGIAIRE1 (PhD1, ISR) Génération et propagation des requis de conception vers le sous-système électronique embarqué. Les objectifs spécifiques du projet de l’étudiant PhD1 (tâches 1.1 et 1.2 du projet global) sont : 1) l’élaboration, la mise en oeuvre et la validation d’une stratégie permettant de déterminer la robustesse inhérente des autres éléments du système global, […]

Printable electronics is a new advanced manufacturing technology, which allows a low-cost and simple fabrication of optical devices. The production consists of three main steps: choosing the materials, printing, and sintering. At first, a metallic ink and a substrate must be chosen. The second step is a printing which could be realized even with a […]

Definition et positionnement de modeles generiques de structures renales dans une volume d’images CT a I’aide du plus petit nombre possible de poignees predefinies sur Ie modele surfacique et auto amelioration des modeles generiques par deformations hierarchiques successives de fa

Digital avionics systems of today are designed for the most part with embedded computers. These computers run safety-critical real-time applications such as flight management systems (FMS) and flight control systems (FCS). Even if avionics use conservative technologies, economic concerns are constantly pushing for changes. Space, weight, power and cooling (SWaP-C) considerations are gaining importance in […]

Robotic arms are used extensively in machining applications due to a large working envelope and easy access to restricted areas. However, low stiffness of the robot arm caused by joint flexibility introduces additional degrees-of-freedom and vibration modes, which leads to the deterioration of positioning performance. To attenuate these induced motion tracking errors and vibrations, this […]
