Multiscale modeling of hydrogen storage in nanomaterials

Fuel cells operated vehicles are most attractive alternative to current gasoline base vehicles to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect the environment. Fuel cells used Hydrogen as fuel and therefore it is need to be stored on-board. Due to light weight of hydrogen special storage mechanism is necessary to store the adequate quantity. All available […]

Détection et classification automatique des défauts de surface de pièce aéronautique

Le processus de détection et classification des défauts de surface consistent à analyser l’état de surface d’une pièce métallique. Y-a-t-il des défauts visuels dont on devrait se soucier? De quel type est-il? Il est possible, en utilisant certaines techniques mathématiques, de permettre à l’ordinateur d’analyser une image et de prendre ce type de décision. Naturellement, […]

Freeze-drying of antibiotic vials: monitoring and optimizing process trajectories on an industrial scale

There has been an increased use of freeze-drying in the pharmaceutical industry over the past few decades. This step converts a liquid product into a solid one without compromising its integrity, thus prolonging its shelf life. The monitoring and optimization of this process is commonly done by trial-and-error, leading to product quality control issues. Therefore, […]

Fast predictive design of preforms, patterns, darts and ply book for non-structural aerospace composites

The project deals with the production of non-structural composite interior coverings for aircraft and other vehicles. Producing such interior coverings in Canada requires very good mastery of manufacturing processes in order to contain costs. Target times for preform preparation are of the order of minutes and manufacturing processes remain largely manual. Competition from emerging countries […]
