Performance of Marine Kinetic Turbine in the Wake
(2013)
Unlike the uniform and low turbulence conditions of flow in water tunnels and towing tanks, flow in rivers, channels and oceans is highly turbulent and non-uniform due to the eddies with size that exceeds the diameter of ...
Shaft Manufacturing Process Improvement
(2019-12-04)
Team 16 has designed a dedicated manufacturing cell to produce the three types of reel drive shafts used in MacDon’s combine headers. The new cell features a CNC lathe capable of machining discs and shafts, as well as a ...
Evaluating Disability Management in the Manitoban Construction Industry for Injured Workers Returning to the Workplace with a Disability
(NRC Research Press, 2016)
The poor safety record of the construction industry raises concerns about the extent to which it is able to integrate workers disabled as a result of a workplace injury back to the workplace. A review of the literature ...
Experimental power and thrust coefficients of a shrouded horizontal axis hydrokinetic turbine
(2014-03-31)
Dataset includes power and thrust coefficients of a 19.8 cm diameter horizontal axis hydrokinetic model turbine measured experimentally in a water tunnel. Tests are done at 0.7, 0.9, and 1.1 m/s water speeds for three ...
Experimental power and thrust coefficients of a shrouded horizontal axis hydrokinetic turbine in yaw operation
(2014-11-28)
Dataset includes power and thrust coefficients of a 19.8 cm diameter horizontal axis hydrokinetic model turbine in yaw operation. Tests were done at 0.7, 0.9, and 1.1 m/s water speeds for three turbine configurations: the ...
Collagen morphology and texture analysis: from statistics to classification
(Nature, 2013-07-12)
In this study we present an image analysis methodology capable of quantifying morphological changes in tissue collagen fibril organization caused by pathological conditions. Texture analysis based on first-order statistics ...
Statistical Development of a Duty Cycle for Plug-in Vehicles in a North American Urban Setting Using Fleet Information
(2010)
Development of a daily duty cycle based on real world driving behavior and parking times is a critical requirement in the optimal design of power-train components of a plug-in vehicle. Standard driving cycles cannot ...
Ladder Design
(2017-12-06)
The design of an adjustable fire truck access ladder which has a minimized profile when stowed and can be quickly adapted for a range of custom fire truck sizes is required by the client, Fort Garry Fire Trucks. The ladder ...
Electrical Generation on Combine Headers for MacDon Industries
(2017-12-06)
The project described in this report was completed for MacDon Industries, with the objective of designing a system to generate electrical energy from the rotational energy of a combine header adapter and harness the energy ...
Reel Lock Mechanism
(2018-12-05)
MacDon Industries Ltd. tasked the team with a project to improve their design for the reel locking mechanism used on their flex draper combine headers. The current design suffers from inconsistent manufacturing, difficulties ...
