Traffic Noise Measurement on Conventional Asphalt and Rubber Asphalt Concrete
A research project for establishing a novel methodology for systematically assessing and understanding the traffic noise of the Asphalt Rubber (AR) roads in comparison to the conventional Asphalt roads, such that the traffic noise of the AR pavement can be reduced effectively with least cost. This project is collaborated with Community of Tomorrow, Saskatchewan Highway and Transportation and Saskatchewan Scrap Tire Corporation. Two different noise measurement methods have been used in this project:
Enhanced OIl Recovery (EOR) with Seismic Wave and Vibration Stimulations
Motion and mobilizatin of multiphase liquid in porous media subjected to the excitation of vibration and seismic waves. This project iw collaborated with Petroleum Technology Research Centre (PTRC) and supported by NSERC.
Multiphase liquid mobilization in capillary with and without ecternal excitations
Cutter and Workpiece Responses in Machining
An investigation on the torsional vibration of a workpiece subjected to nonlinear cutting forces. The aim of the investigation is to optimize the operation parameters in machining, to develop a mathematical model for assessing the effect of the cutting forces on the motions of the workpiece, and to determine the stability of the torsional vibration under the nonlinear cutting forces. This research project is NSERC supported.
Fatigue Strength Assessment in Design of Welded Highway Truck Chassis
A research project for assessing the fatigue strength of a welded steel chassis of a highway truck is currently under progress. This project is NSERC CRD and industry supported.
Motion Simulation and Strength Analysis of the Wolverine Amphibious ATV structures subjected to nonlinear dynamic loadings
A research project for establishing the relationship between the fatigue strength of the Wolverine Amphibious ATV structures (steel frame and aluminum body) and operation maneuver with nonlinear dynamic loadings exerted on frame/body over severe terrain. This is industry supported project.
Dynamic Response of Skate Blade in Speed Skating
A research project investigating the response of skate blades to the dynamical loading acting on them during skating. This project is collaborated with Olympic Oval, University of Calgary and Maple Skate.
Conceptual framework design for the development of an Enterprise Resource Planning System
A research project for developing a Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) by identifying the strategic and operational requirements of SMEs in the Southeast Asia region based on the existing quantitative and qualitative research. This project is collaborated with Watergroup Company and the Department of Industrial Development of Thailand.
Project Delivery System Selection under Uncertainty: A Multi-Criteria Multi-Level Decision Aid Model
In this project, a decision aid model using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) coupled with rough approximation concepts is developed to assist project owners. In the proposed model, an optimization procedure is performed via the upper and the lower linear programming models to determine the interval priorities for alternative project delivery systems.This project is NSERC CRD and industry supported.
