Valorisation de la fibre de lin et de chanvre canadiens pour une nouvelle bio-économie : application au secteur des matériaux bio-composites – Duplicated

Ce projet Mitacs Élévation porte sur le développement des matériaux composites à fibres naturelles (CFN) avec résine bio-sourcée. Notre partenaire, le Centre de Recherche Industriel du Québec (CRIQ), désire développer de nouveaux axes de recherche sur les nouveaux matériaux et/ou procédés. Ils ont déjà un axe orienté sur les matériaux architecturés issus de la fabrication additive. Ils désirent maintenant développer l’axe très prometteur des nouveaux matériaux composites avec fibres naturelles et résines bio-sourcées. L’expertise acquise au Laboratoire de Mécanique et Éco-Matériaux (LMEM) de l’UQTR sur la fabrication de tous nouveaux renforts à fibre naturelle sera donc jumelée à celle du CRIQ en matière de résines bio-sourcées. L’intérêt de ce projet réside d’une part dans le remplacement des fibres synthétiques de verre énergivores, non recyclables et non bio-dégradables, par des fibres naturelles; et d’autre part par le remplacement des résines d’origine pétrolifères par des résines plus respectueuses de l’environnement.

Stratégie analytique pour la résolution de problématiques reliées à la présence de fondant dans une solution préparée par fusion

La dissolution des échantillons géologiques, par exemple un minerai de nickel, représente un défi en soit. Certaines options sont possibles dont la mise en solution par fusion. Cette technique consiste à faire fondre un fondant à haute température et dissoudre le minerai de nickel dans cette matière fondue. C’est le même principe de dissolution du sucre dans votre café. La matière fondue homogène est versée et dissoute dans une solution acide. Une fois cette solution obtenue, il est possible de connaître son contenu en nickel par des techniques analytiques élémentaires. La présence du fondant dans la solution finale peut apporter son lot de difficultés à l’analyse. Ce projet de recherche aura comme objectif de régler cette problématique.

Analyse de la perception et de la gestion des risques dans l’industrie maricole québécoise

Le projet de recherche portera sur la gestion des risques dans l’industrie maricole québécoise. Les mariculteurs du Québec seront interrogés afin d’identifier et de classer les risques présents dans leur industrie. Des stratégies de gestion des risques et, si possible, des mesures d’atténuation seront par la suite proposées, en se basant notamment sur les stratégies déjà mises en place par les mariculteurs ainsi que sur les résultats des entretiens. Une enquête semblable sera menée auprès de mariculteurs de l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard afin de contraster les observations faites sur la situation québécoise et trouver d’autres pistes de solutions qui pourront être utiles autant pour l’industrie québécoise que celle de l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard. En ayant une bonne connaissance des risques reliés à l’industrie maricole, Merinov pourra mieux cibler ses interventions auprès de celle-ci et bâtir des projets qui répondent directement aux besoins et aux priorités de l’industrie.

Outils pour l’aide à la recherche d’information et de veille au CRIQ

Le Centre de recherche industrielle du Québec (CRIQ) offre des services de recherche d’information et de veille en impartition. Actuellement plusieurs outils de recherches sont utilisés pour accomplir ces mandats de recherche d’informations, mais la formulation des requêtes, la sélection des documents pertinents et l’extraction des informations utiles sont effectuées manuellement. Le stage proposé dans cette demande a pour but d’évaluer l’apport de techniques du traitement automatique de la langue naturelle (TALN) pour accomplir certaines étapes du processus de recherche d’information. Le mandat vise à exploiter des outils existants pour aider les agents du CRIQ à accomplir leur mandat de recherche et de veille. Ces travaux visent, à terme, à réduire le coût et le temps des mandats de recherche d’information tout en améliorant la qualité des informations qui sont recueillies.

Accident de la route au travail : qu’en est-il des travailleurs piétons?

Les travailleurs qui ne sont pas dans un véhicule mais directement sur la chaussée constituent un sous-groupe plus à risque lorsqu’il est question d’accident routier au travail (ART). Nous proposons d’étudier les relations entre les environnements de travail (dans la rue), le risque d’accident routier et les niveaux de stress que les travailleurs piétons expérimentent au quotidien à partir de méthodes de collecte (observations, senseurs et vidéos) développées par nos partenaires.

Feasibility Assessment of the Development of a Cost Effective Type-Specific Small Aircraft Simulator

This project aims to produce a proof-of-concept of a Diamond DA20 aircraft simulator to determine the feasibility of producing the simulator at a low cost while meeting Transport Canada requirements for a minimum of Level 5 Flight Training Device certification. Reducing cost without sacrificing fidelity of the flight simulator comes with many technical challenges which will require the collaboration of the Carleton University research team, OAS Flight Centre principals and staff, and the B-Con Engineering team. This project will provide OAS Flight Centre with a viable option for increasing its simulator capacity and student throughput. For B-Con, this project will provide a platform to demonstrate its technology for the projection of images onto non-flat surfaces as is applicable to the simulator industry. The feasibility assessment will be followed by the simulator manufacturing and eventual addition of motion cueing.

Building Information Modeling Enabled Dependency Risk Analysis for Resilient Building Design and Operation

The performance we require from our buildings is ever increasing. Heightened security needs, the push for increasingly efficient use of resources, improved comfort, flexibility of facility space, and changing threats from climate change or other environmental factors are some of the challenges facing designers and operators. There are a complex array of interrelated components that are necessary to confront these challenges. Integrating these systems effectively is essential to meeting the challenges facing designers while providing value to the client.
This project integrates building information models (BIM) with RiskLogik’s proprietary risk and resilience solutions to progress the design of complex buildings. This is accomplished by supporting the improved design of the interrelationships between building systems, such as mechanical, electrical, communications, and security systems and the operations that reside within the buildings. As a result, performance is improved by ensuring a resilient network of interconnections that reduces system conflicts and cascade effects.

A Healthy Workplace for a Healthy Workforce: Identifying Predictors of Health Impacting Workplace Productivity in the Mining Industry of Saskatchewan

The mining sector plays a huge role in the Saskatchewan economy, in addition to being the largest private sector employer of Aboriginal peoples in the province. It is important economically and socially for the mining workforce to be healthy and productive. Yet we know little about the impacts of physical and mental health on productivity, absenteeism, presenteeism and disability within the
industry. Effective health promotion is particularly important given the predominant demographics of the mining workforce: men, and in particular rural, Aboriginal and blue collar men, are far less likely
to have regular physical exams, seek health care, or proactively address mental health issues of excessive stress or depression.
This project will identify existing predictors of health and health behaviours that are impacting the productivity of the mining workforce. The goal is to determine ways to maximize health promotion
and worker wellness within a mine environment as a way to increase productivity by linking healthy workplace environments with healthy employees.

Multiphysics Simulation of Optoelectronic Devices, Circuits and Systems

Traditionally, the microchips that power our communications technology use electrical signals to compute, transfer, and store information. Silicon photonics (SiP) is an emerging field, where structures fabricated on those same microchips replace electrical signals with optical ones, enabling exciting new applications such as optical and wireless communications, bio/environment-sensing, and computing. These new optical microchips are known as photonic integrated circuits (PICs).
Design of modern PIC components and systems relies on a multi-scale and multi-physics approach to modeling and simulation that accurately and efficiently predicts performance. This project aims to extend the simulation

Assessment and Development of Swaged Mechanical Splicing Systems

An efficient utilization of reinforced concrete structures is highly dependent on the detailing of the reinforcing bars and their interaction with the surrounding concrete. Construction industry is gradually shifting toward incorporating the relatively new mechanical splicing technology to enhance structural integrity, accelerate workflow, minimize material waste and reduce project cost. The proposed research aims at conducting both experimental and numerical investigations to capture the actual behavior of a proposed mechanical splicing devices and to assess their structural performance when used in real structural members under various loading conditions. These couplers will provide solutions to existing construction issues related to surface bond characteristics and reinforcement vertical misalignment. The knowledge obtained from this study will provide Incon company with comprehensive information to improve their technologies and to enhance the quality of their products. The research outcomes will also be a valuable source for developing the relevant Canadian building codes and standards.

Calibration of a Novel Orifice Plate Flow-meter

Accurate measurements of mass flow rate in a pipe is crucial to virtually every industrial process where a fluid is moved from place to place. The velocity measured in a pipe is often determined by measuring the pressure drop over an orifice plate. Once this orifice plate is properly calibrated, the velocity and in turn, the mass flow through the pipe can be calculated. A downside of the orifice plates is that the plates need to be calibrated. Proper calibration of the orifice plate is essential so that that mass flow rate can be accurately predicted using the pressure drop measurements. KO designs has a developed a novel orifice plate flow meter in which the orifice area can be precisely varied. This means that the flow meter can operate over a much wider range of flow velocities and should be the flow meter of choice for applications which have large changes in flow rate. The intern will design and build a facility suitable for calibrating these flow meters and then perform the calibrations.

Developing a novel solar cell incorporating graphene and collaborative technologies

The rapid depletion of fossil fuels (such as Coal, Natural gas, Oil etc.) and the escalation in environmental pollution have prompted increased investigations in the field of alternative energy sources. In this context, solar cells are being studied to satisfy the increasing power needs of today’s society as photovoltaic power uses pollution-free energy source, solar energy. Silicon solar cells are still very expensive due to both the using of expensive materials and the employing costly processing steps. Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are a very promising type of solar cell because of their low cost, simple and inexpensive processes and straightforward scalability. Leveraging the architecture of DSSCs while using materials developed at multiple Canadian universities, this project aims to develop a solar cell for the consumer and commercial markets that is affordable and robust.
