La fabrication additive par soudage ultrasons combine la soudure par ultrasons de métaux et l’usinage de ces derniers à l’intérieur du même appareil. Cette méthode de mise en oeuvre est principalement présente dans les domaines de l’aéronautique, de l’aérospatiale, de l’automobile et de l’électronique. Il s’agit d’un type de soudure dit « à froid » […]

Veneer drying has traditionally been done using a qualitative approach. Although it is effective in assessing how any modification in parameters impacts veneer quality, it often yields a significant loss in quality due to delays involved in reaching the kiln’s steady state following parameter modification. However, kilns are now being equipped with various sensors that […]

Pratt & Whitney Canada (P&WC) is interested to further investigate the use of novel Polymer Matrix Composites (PMC’s) technologies, in order to improve their products by reducing weight and increasing performances of their engines. Current applications of PMC’s in P&WC’s engine are mostly limited to cold section parts (< 100°C), nonstructural external components, and nacelle […]

This project is intended to develop the technology to form high performance plastics reinforced with carbon fibre (polymer composites) in order to produce lighter parts to replace conventional metallic parts. As the parts may be exposed to fire during use, a comparison between different material systems under fire exposure is also required to have a […]

Continuous fibre (CF) aerospace preforms exhibiting excellent mechanical performance possess low formability characteristics and are confined to simple shell-like geometries with minimal curvatures. On the other hand, short fibre preforms such as randomly oriented strands (ROS) offer high formability but exhibit low mechanical performance. The manufacturing of composites involves time and huge costs. The overall […]

Les mesures géophysiques dans les galeries souterraines et en forage permettent d’accroître la profondeur d’investigation en tirant profit des connaissances géologiques et géophysiques de surface. Il y a plusieurs limitations qui ont freiné l’application des techniques géophysiques en forage ; notamment les forages subhorizontaux rendent l’avancement de sonde difficile. L’objectif de notre étude est à […]

The aim of this project will be to evaluate the performance of a custom ultrasonic linear array transducer in an industrial setting. The partner organization, Finkl-Steel Sorel, is a manufacturer of high quality steel forging andhas a desire to improve the inspection tools they are currently using. However, due to the size of the steel […]

Le projet de recherche proposé pour ce doctorat porte principalement sur l’industrie 4.0. Étant une toute nouvelle tendance industrielle, développée en Allemagne depuis moins de 5 ans, les entreprises et les académiques s’y attardent de plus en plus. L’industrie 4.0 représente la 4ème révolution industrielle. Elle représente la connectivité entre toutes les parties d’un système, […]

Powder metallurgy uses metal powders to produce parts of varying complexity. The processes can generally be divided in two big steps. The first is to form the powder into the required shape. This is generally done by pressing or molding the powder. The second step is to consolidate the powder into a solid piece of […]

The main objective of this project is using deep learning algorithm to enhance the current state of the art tooth wear monitoring system used in mining shovels. Unlike the current approach, the proposed deep learning method operates by building a model from input images in order to make data-driven predictions. We use deep learning approach […]

The goal of this proposal is to make the most advantage of the recently developed technique of Frequency domain Optical Parametric Amplification (FOPA) by pushing this technology to unprecedented levels. The IP has been protected by the group of prof. François Légaré from INRS_EMT. The main inventor, Bruno Schmidt, has founded few-cycle Inc. to commercialize […]
