Image processing-based techniques for process parameter characterization in Plasma Transferred Arc Additive Manufacturing (PTA-AM) process
DownloadSpring 2022
The plasma transferred arc additive manufacturing (PTA-AM) process is a recently established additive manufacturing (AM) technique for manufacturing large parts for the resource industries. In the PTA-AM process, the build quality of the 3D part is governed by various processing parameters,...

Spring 2024
In this thesis, an advanced stress-state- and strain-rate-dependent model, Generalized Incremental Stress State dependent damage MOdel (GISSMO), is implemented to predict the ballistic responses of Armox 500T steel under high-velocity impact in finite element solver LS-DYNA/Explicit. The GISSMO...

Fall 2019
This work focuses on the implementation and validation of the implicit Total Variation Diminishing (TVD) schemes for modelling of two-dimensional multiphase flow. The TVD schemes are designed to mitigate the numerical diffusion at the interface where discontinuities of fluid properties exist...

Spring 2014
The main goal of this research was to investigate the application of the ISO 14001 standard in Canadian organizations. Seventeen research questions were defined and addressed using a survey of 32 organizations registered to the standard. Descriptive, explorative factor, reliability and cluster...

Spring 2013
An alternative method of manipulating fragile MEMS devices during fabrication has been developed. A specialized manual or robotic end effector utilizing a gecko inspired adhesive can replace the slow and costly manual tweezers used by the MEMS foundry Micralyne Inc. Improving the adhesive...

Improving 3D Printability and Functional Performance of Polyethylene across Visible and IR Spectrums through IR Transparent Pigmentation and Polyolefin Additives
DownloadFall 2023
Polyolefin thermoplastics form a significant fraction of the world scale production of plastics and are of high interest due to their toughness, low cost, good chemical resistance and excellent IR properties. Two grades of PE: Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) and High-Density Polyethylene...

Improving Measurements of the Mixing State and Mass Concentration of Particulate Emissions from Aircraft Engines
DownloadSpring 2016
This research is focused towards improving techniques used to measure particulate emissions from aircraft engines, on two fronts: first, to characterize and quantify the mixing state of particulate emissions; and second, to calibrate black carbon mass instruments with a traceable mass...

Improving Portable Oxygen Concentrator Performance through the development of a New Nasal Interface
DownloadFall 2021
Long term oxygen therapy (LTOT) is used to improve survival for patients with respiratory diseases who experience chronic respiratory failure. During LTOT, supplemental oxygen is supplied to patients from an oxygen source via cannula supply tubing. Portable oxygen concentrators (POCs) are a...
