Évaluation du niveau de développement des maquettes numériques du BIM pour les sous-traitants de la construction au Québec

Le passage au numérique de l’industrie de la construction marque une transformation radicale des méthodes de travail et processus associés à la technologie. Afin de tirer les meilleurs avantages de ce changement technologique, et plus particulièrement de l’utilisation du BIM (Building Information Modeling), de nombreuses recherches ont étés menées en partenariat avec les concepteurs et gestionnaires de projets, cependant très peu sont menées au niveau de l’implémentation du BIM chez les entrepreneurs spécialisés alors que ce sont ces derniers qui réalisent la construction.
Le lien entre le niveau de développement (LOD) des maquettes 3D et les bénéficies pour les entrepreneurs spécialisés reste à définir. De plus, les informations et niveau de détails requis des maquettes numériques ne sont pas toujours fournis par les concepteurs. TO BE CONT’D

Numerical Simulation of Two Phase Gas-Liquid flow in hydrocarbon liquid transportation pipelines

Current Computational Pipeline Modeling based leak detection systems can not accurately predict the leaks in the pipeline when crude oil goes though phase change (column separation) along the 100s of kms long pipeline (due to hills and valleys). The objective of this project is to gain fundamental insight into the two phase gas-liquid flow physics in hydrocarbon liquid transportation pipelines that transport crude oil with various physical properties of crude and with various elevations. The data obtained from the numerical simulation studies performed during the project, will be analyzed for the onset of the phase change, accurate prediction of each phase for various aspect ratios of pipeline and pipeline sizes, and elevations. The Post doc hired for this project will benefit from expanding the knowledge gained at the university and apply it to the real industry related problem. TO BE CONT’D

Extension of Capabilities for the Measurement Radio Propagation Parameters in Cluttered 5G Coverage Scenarios

Work conducted during this project will involve the extension and further development of existing methods for detailed measurement and subsequent modelling of radiowave propagation characteristics in indoor environments at extremely high frequencies. Results will enable the determination of the powers, time delays, and angles of arrival of waves incident upon a receive antenna over direct, reflected, and diffracted paths between a transmit antenna and a receive antenna. Results from mathematical and statistical modelling based on the knowledge of wave parameters from the analysis of measurements can be used for improved efficiency and accuracy in the design of 5 G Wireless systems for greater information carrying capacity and more reliability. Research will also be conducted on the design of surfaces that can be deployed to enhance the reflection of waves around objects and through interfaces to achieve lower transmission loss, and therefore better-quality communication channels.

Implementation of a Machine Vision-based System for the Recognition of Indian Coins

Counting coins, with speed and accuracy, has been a challenging issue for banks and stores. People used to count coins manually before the arrival of coin counting machines. The process of counting coins manually is a very time consuming and tedious job. Moreover, mistakes are likely to occur due to various reasons such as fatigue, eye tiredness and too many coins of nearly same shape and size cause confusion in sorting and counting. Coin sorters are common in North America and can be found in most commercial banks and even some grocery stores. By contrast, they are not available in India, where the number and similarity of the coins make for a very challenging problem. The objective of this project is to determine whether advanced machine vision techniques are able to sort coins from India with acceptable speed and accuracy. TO BE CONT’D

Mobility and Protection of Goaltender Upper Body Personal Protective Equipment

Upper body injuries make up 32% of the injuries that ice hockey goaltenders have in a season. These values may be subject to change, as the National Hockey League is investigating rule changes that will decrease the size of the goaltender’s chest and arm equipment. The primary objective of this research is to investigate the mobility and safety of a chest and arm protector that meets the new NHL requirements by comparing goaltender shoulder/elbow mobility and protection against a CCM and a leading competitor’s chest and arm protector. It is expected that the new chest and arm will improve goaltender mobility; however, it will have larger peak contact forces compared to the current chest and arm models. This research is highly relevant to CCM as it will ensure that the equipment adjustments that CCM make, provide adequate goaltender protection and mobility.

Investigating the feasibility of a sensor-based hip protector for automatically detecting falls and characterizing activities of daily living in frail older adults

Over 350,000 Canadians live in long-term care facilities where the rate of falls is up to 3 times higher than among individuals living in the community. Wearable sensor technology holds great promise to accurately monitor an individual’s fall risk based on the activity profile and to detect dangerous fall events. With the understanding that hip protectors are commonly used in this population the objective of this project is to investigate the feasibility of a sensor-based hip protector to accurately detect falls and monitor daily activities. The partner organization is involved in the development of a discrete hip protector and will benefit as their device will be further developed, refined and evaluated in the target population.

Study the bond strength of adhered manufactured stone veneer units and setting bed mortar at different temperatures and different cycles of freeze-thaw

The bond between adhered manufactured stone masonry veneer units and the setting bed mortar will be studied. It will involve testing shear, and tensile bond on small samples. Samples will consist of 2 types of adhered manufactured stones; two types of setting bed mortar (Type S, and modified dry-set cement mortar); and two types of substrates (simulated scratch coat and metal lath, and exterior grade cement board). Samples will be tested at 3 different temperatures (-20, 0 and 20°C), and 2 different numbers of freeze-thaw cycles. Three samples will be cast and tested for each combination. Reliability analysis will be conducted on the results to suggest which combination works best at different temperatures or with respect to the number of cycles of freeze-thaw. In addition, some factors that modify the bond strength equations will be investigated to determine if their inclusion better predict the bond strengths.

Exploring Differences and Similarities in the Geography Curriculum

The main objective of my research project is to compare the Canadian Geography curriculum with the Geography curriculum in China within grades 7 and 8. Over the course of 3 months I will be able to analyze the major topics covered by the Chinese geography teachers, explore the resources available to students and analyze how those resources are used to teach grades 7 and 8. This research project will be carried out through observations of classrooms in China. Note taking and journal writing will be the main method of gathering data. The observation of a geography classroom in China would be beneficial for me as a geography teacher since it will broaden my pedagogical horizons, acquire different teaching methods and extend my cultural knowledge. It will also help me develop an understanding of the Chinese culture, teaching psychology and philosophies that are held within the classrooms. Overall, my research will greatly assist in the development of becoming a better teacher within in Canada’s multicultural society.
