Finite element modelling (FEM) can be used enhance the understanding of physical testing results and will be applied to two distinct structural problems. The first problem will involve combined loading of concrete masonry walls, and the second problem will involve the performance of adhered stone veneer under wind loading. Combined compressive and out of plane […]

Le développement de méthodes durables de stockage de l’énergie est un élément essentiel de l’arsenal technologique que l’on se doit de mettre en place afin de lutter contre les changements climatiques et développer des sources d’énergie durables. Pour cela, les batteries, et plus particulièrement les batteries au lithium, sont des technologies incontournables. Néanmoins, les technologies […]

Manufacturing system reliability is significant in modern industry that requires high speed and low cost in production. The proposed work is aiming to establish a systematic and applicable approach for machine condition monitoring and condition based maintenance with the help of large amount of data from the industrial internet of things. Deep learning, as an […]

In this project, carbon-based nano-materials were used not only to capture CO2, but also function as a nano-carrier platform to uptake the drugs and genes for cancer therapeutic applications. In other words, the main objective of this project is to tackle two major issues in our society: greenhouse gas emission and cancer.

L’objectif principal est de mettre à disposition de nos partenaires industriels des outils informatisés innovants afin d’améliorer et d’enrichir leurs technologies (plateforme d’imagerie d’EOS Imaging, orthèse du genou de Médicus, outils pour la planification chirurgicale de Spinologics) pour aider une population, de plus en plus vieillissante, à demeurer autonome, mobile et active.

Within a hydrogen fuel cell, the cathode catalyst layer (CCL) is generally considered a limiting component in overall performance due to sluggish oxygen reduction reaction kinetics. The proposed internship is comprised of two projects, each characterizing the materials used in the CCL. The first project will investigate the permeability of oxygen, nitrogen, and helium gases […]

Balch Exploration Consulting Inc. (BECI) develops low cost geophysical survey solutions to the natural resources sector. They are investing in the development of a rotary-wing unmanned aircraft system (UAS) with a new high-precision fluxgate magnetometer. The general objective of this internship is to develop a rotary-wing UAS for aeromagnetic surveying. Specific objectives are to: assemble […]

Morphodynamic models are increasingly used in watershed management to predict the evolution of river channels and to test management scenarios prior to their implementation. The impact of plants in riparian zones is particularly critical to better document, but the current models rarely integrate this component. This project will use a bank erosion module and a […]

Rooftop solar modules installations are growing in popularity as the benefits of implementing these features on previously unoccupied roof space are being realized. A major concern with these installations is the contribution to the roof load due to the interaction between high wind speeds and the angled modules. Similarly, there are concerns with uplift on […]

Over the past 15 years, People for Education has conducted a survey of Ontario’s publicly funded schools. From this large-scale survey, People for Education produces research reports on public education in Ontario that are widely disseminated to the public and have been instrumental to informing educational policy in the province. The core objectives of this […]

L’Institut du véhicule innovant (IVI) situé à Saint-Jérôme a récemment mis sur pied le programme Arion qui vise à créer un système de navigation pour véhicule autonome hors route adaptable à plusieurs contextes et environnements. L’IVI veut transférer toute la technologie développée dans le développement de ce système à diverses PME partenaires désirant créer des […]

One of the primary goals in tall building codes and standards is to protect life safety of inhabitants during earthquakes. Several methodologies have been proposed to achieve a proper performance of buildings. In this proposal, a recent method is applied using a series of nonlinear dynamic analyses under an appropriate suite of ground motion records. […]
