Approche empirique à la calibration d’un modèle d’élément finis d’une mine en roche dure sous l’effet d’un comportement viscoplastique

L’exploitation d’une mine souterraine est sujette à d’importantes contraintes: l’espace de travail réduit, la distance parfois très élevé au minerai et le besoin de renforcer ou de supporter le massif rocheux. C’est sur ce dernier point que porte la présente recherche. Le choix d’un support de terrain approprié repose avant tout sur la bonne compréhension des contraintes (forces) naturel agissant sur notre excavation et les propriétés de résistance de la roche. Les contraintes naturelles ont deux origines : force tectonique dont l’origine provient du mouvement des plaques tectonique et le poids des terres qui augmente avec la profondeur car chaque élément doit supporter tous les précédents. Un massif rocheux est avant tout un amoncellement d’unités rocheuses qui même si parfois, elle semble similaire visuellement, ne sont pas identique doivent donc tester en laboratoire. Dans le présent projet avec IAMGOLD, le partenaire industriel, le stagiaire devra élaborer un modèle numérique du comportement des excavations souterraines à leur projet minier Westwood. La particularité de ce projet est qu’il devra être en mesure de reproduire un comportement viscoplastique, c’est-à-dire, une déformation dans le temps de l’ouverture.

La codirection tripartite : modèle évolutif dans un environnement complexe

En 2023, afin de faire face à un conflit interne, Paroles d’excluEs, un organisme à but non lucratif dont la mission est de « susciter la parole et la mobilisation citoyennes pour développer l’action collective des personnes en situation d’exclusion […] », a opté pour un nouveau mode de gestion : la codirection tripartite. Celle-ci se caractérise par un partage des responsabilités du poste de direction générale entre trois personnes codirectrices. Dans le but de mettre en oeuvre les meilleures pratiques, Parole d’excluEs souhaite se baser sur la recherche scientifique. Toutefois, très peu de chercheur.ses se sont penchées sur la codirection en trio dans le milieu communautaire. Cette étude de cas vise donc à accompagner l’organisation afin de mieux comprendre ses
conditions de mise en place, ses pratiques et son fonctionnement, d’identifier ses conditions de succès et de développer des outils permettant sa pérennisation et sa réplication.

Pricing Prediction from Images of Clothing Items

The general objective of this project is to develop and implement an innovative AI-powered solution that enables resellers and small-medium-sized eCommerce businesses to generate pricing predictions of items from product images enabling them to save time and maintain consistency across pricing. The solution aims to reduce the time-consuming and expensive process of manually predicting prices of one-of-a-kind resale items, ultimately removing pricing bias and saving time on each eCommerce listing. Additionally, the project seeks to promote sustainable consumption by extending the lifecycle of goods through responsible reselling.

Data creation for items at the source will save brands and resellers precious time and maintain the accuracy of traceable data across different business models – resale, recycle of fashion items. Pricing prediction for items from images will aid in creation of product data.

Program Evaluation & Consitutent Profiles in Tennis

In recent years, the sporting experiences offered by Canada’s amateur sport organization have been brought into question. Numerous scandals have been uncovered across a variety of sports that have displayed significant shortcomings in managerial conduct, safety assurances, inclusivity, and equity. As a result, Canada’s national sport organizations have been called to address the widespread shortcomings in sporting experiences to ensure that all participants can better access the benefits of sport.

Currently, Tennis Canada’s mission is “to lead the growth, development and promotion of tennis in Canada,” while valuing innovation and excellence. Further, Tennis Canada strives “to champion positive tennis experiences”. Given that data analytics can help identify patterns with respect to what has happened (descriptive analytics), explain why something has happened (diagnostic analytics), identify what may happen in the future (predictive analytics), and/or identify what should happen next (prescriptive analytics) it can prove critical for organizations.

The purpose of this project is to leverage Tennis Canada’s data analytics strategy to inform a national participation strategy. In recent years, Tennis Canada has experienced unprecedented success delivered by its high-performance athletes (i.e., 2024 Billie Jean King Cup), to sustain success at the highest levels of tennis competition it is essential that grassroot programs are performing optimally. Capturing this data will allow Tennis Canada to better direct resources to make operational and programming enhancements while also positioning the organization as a leader in effectively engaging participants and delivering positive sporting experiences.

Critères clés de la transformation numérique en PME manufacturières

Le projet de recherche vise à améliorer le taux de réussite des transformations numériques dans les PME canadiennes, en mettant l’accent sur les entreprises du Québec.
Le besoin d’adopter l’industrie 4.0 pour améliorer l’efficacité et la compétitivité des PME a conduit à un engouement croissant pour cette approche. Malgré les outils disponibles, le taux de réussite des projets numériques reste faible. Deux réactions communes des PME face à la transformation numérique incluent l’attente avant de s’engager et la sur-personnalisation de leur transition, entraînant des investissements considérables.
Le projet se concentre à guider les PME dans leur préparation à la transformation numérique. Il propose une approche semi-personnalisée en identifiant des profils d’entreprises similaires et en déterminant les combinaisons de facteurs favorisant le succès de chaque profil. Le projet vise à combler les lacunes dans les outils d’accompagnement pour les transformations numériques, encourageant ainsi le développement de l’Industrie 4.0 dans les PME.
