Head-mounted displays (HMDs) allow a convenient delivery of visualized data to the user. HMDs in the form of glasses and goggles (otherwise known as smart glasses and goggles), such as Vuzix Blade and Epson Moverio [1-3], have been introduced but the public acceptance of these devices have been rather lackluster. Part of the sluggish acceptance […]

Tout au long de l’histoire de l’humanité le progrès scientifique et technique a été un moteur de notre évolution comme espèce. Ce progrès pousse l’humain constamment à reconsidérer ses propres limites tant du point de vue physique que cognitif. Bien que les conséquences des actions erronées des humains soient connues depuis l’antiquité, industrie 4.0 mène […]

Le but de cette étude est de réaliser une presse à vis pour compacter une suspension de chaulage. L’étude sera divisée en plusieurs étapes : la caractérisation de la boue, la simulation de la presse à vis, l’assemblage de la vis, le paramétrage de la vis et son opération. La phase de simulation permettra le […]

This research will focus on glass materiality and its use in architecture. By attending Glasstec, fhe international trade fair for glass production, processing and products, I will be able to elaborate a technology survey of available products in the market, production processes as well as experiments and prototypes showcased by the companies Research and Development […]

Nickel based alloys manufactured via powder metallurgy (PM) are the next generation of materials that offer great service performance and increased efficiency of gas turbine engines. This class of material is characterized by their poor machinability. Additionally, limited information is known about the integrity of machined surfaces; thus limiting its acceptance by the industry. This […]

The scope of this research is to develop new equations for the load distributions beneath timber mats from a crawler crane, for various types of soil, by using numerical software. This would enable industrials to accurately estimate the behavior of stresses in soils, in order to reduce the costs of ground preparation for cranes by […]

Understanding the 3D world around us is a key goal in computer science. If we are endowed with 3D understanding, we can solve problems in several areas in computer science such as robotics, fast 3D modelling and physical reasoning. However, it is not clear how 3D objects can be represented because of the high dimensionality […]

The proposed project is to field test a full scale novel lightweight sandwich panel which consists of steel plate at the front, concrete panel at the back and number of helical springs in the middle. This newly proposed sandwich panel will be subjected to repetitive different ranges of blast load to ensure its blast resistant […]

Driven by heightened environmental awareness, the construction industry increasingly strives to utilize materials such as timber with a low-carbon footprint in their life cycle. High-strength mass-timber products, innovative ductile connections, and fast computer-numerically-controlled pre-fabrication, combined with changing legislation create better opportunities to also build tall timber structures. However, low ductility and limited tensile strength of […]

Machine learning (ML) applications have shown remarkable performance in vanous intelligent tasks but high computational intensity and large memory requirements have hindered its widespread ubhzation in embedded and Internet of things devices due to resource constraints. Many optimization techniques have been proposed previously for domain specific architectures. These optimizations will affect an embedded device differently. […]

Metal additive manufacturing (MAM) is newly developed manufacturing technology that is faster and more cost-effective compared to traditional methods. Although there are various types for AM, the product quality improvement in plasma transfer arc (PTA) and wire-feed AM processes will be the subject of this project. To achieve this goal, the intern will determine the […]

The proposed study expands on my ongoing research into the intersection of heritage conservation and the generation of architectural waste. Specifically, it understands the relationship between building demolition and heritage conservation to be both technically and conceptually linked. With this, the study addresses the “crisis of accumulation” both of heritage sites (Harrison, 2013) and growing […]
