Le stage décrit une méthode novatrice d’amélioration de la radiothérapie à modulation d’intensité utilisée pour le traitement du cancer. L’équipe du stagiaire mettra en œuvre une approche basée sur des algorithmes d’apprentissage en vue de concevoir le nombre et la valeur des orientations du support mobile qui optimiseront l’administration de la dose de rayons au […]

Le projet concernait le développement de modèles mathématiques et d’algorithmes en vue d’optimiser la configuration du réseau de la chaîne logistique de Dainty Foods, une société de traitement, d’emballage et d’entreposage d’aliments. Celle-ci désire optimiser son réseau de la chaîne logistique en se concentrant sur la gestion de l’espace interne de ses entrepôts et en […]

Le principal facteur déterminant l’importance de la population de poisson accessible à la pêche est le taux de survie entre les stades d’œuf et de larve. Par conséquent, pour estimer le nombre de poissons que l’on sera autorisé à pêcher, les modéliseurs doivent être en mesure de prévoir avec exactitude le pourcentage de poissons qui […]

The project will determine sliding wear behaviour of lightweight Al and Mg alloys for the continuously variable transmission (CVT) bore application and other engine applications. High temperature lubricated wear tests that simulate the actual operating conditions of CVT bore will be carried out. In addition, tests will be conducted at room temperature and under the […]

Rain water penetration can cause severe damage to building materials and facilitates the growth of mould, endangering the health of the occupants of the building. This Mitacs project will determine the water penetration resistance of various clay brick veneers used in various buildings. This research will also provide very important test data that may allow […]

Additive Manufacturing (AM), or 3D printing, has captured the public’s imagination, but it is not a ‘done in one’ process for metallic components, although this is the perception. It is a relatively new manufacturing process which is increasing its presence in the manufacturing domain. Advanced design and manufacturing software solutions need to be developed to […]

Sustainable public transfer systems are getting a lot of attention, and many organizations are transforming their fleets into systems that rely on alternative fuels; the Electric Vehicle (EV) being most popular. The environmental, geopolitical and financial advantages of EV vehicles are well studied; however, security of these systems is not given full attention. The most […]

Softab Technologies is a fast-growing company in Windsor, Ontario that is developing new formulations and methods to provide nutraceuticals: vitamins, natural extracts, and minerals in a revolutionary new form of chewable and dissolvable gel. They are working with a research team in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Windsor to refine […]

E-commerce has become one major marketing channel for many firms in Canada and world-wide and has increased dramatically in recent years. As firms migrate from traditional physical retail channels to combined physical and virtual channels, the shift brings new significant challenges to supply chain and logistics management. Blockchain is able to maintain authoritative records in […]

From 2014-2018, Krown Corporation, a pioneer in corrosion treatment, partnered with University of Windsor Faculty of Engineering researchers to conduct a comprehensive assessment on how to measure and assess the degree of corrosion on a vehicle, so that it may be communicated to the vehicle owner. This preliminary research demonstrated that a corrosion metric, and […]

New opportunities lead to new challenges. The additive Manufacturing (AM), or 3D printing process has created new opportunities as it has reduced advanced process planning times. However, this is not true for new multi-degree of freedom machines being introduced to fabricate complex metallic components. Research to facilitate AM CAD/CAM needs to be performed, and this […]

In industry, inspection of manufacturing floors is handled by humans. The drawback of using humans for this repetitive task is that collected data can be highly prone to bias due to small sample size and industrial engineers can miss relevant details during the cycle time analysis. Calculations often misinterpret the real factory situation. This research […]
