Reference number : GC-2017-Q4-00949, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Kövecses, Jozsef (McGill University)|Kövecses, Jozsef (Université McGill), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : Quebec|Québec, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Collaborative Research and Development Grants - Project, program name french : Subventions de recherche et développement coopérative - projet, program purpose english : This proposal is a continuation of the previous successful collaboration with CMLabs Simulations. It builds on the results achieved in the previous projects of this collaboration. We will continue and expand the work to investigate some of the important, challenging problems in dynamics modelling and simulation of large-scale mechanical systems such as construction machinery, cranes and port equipment, robotic workcells and operations. In our work we will specifically focus on the further development and implementation of a general formulation of mechanical system models. In this framework the system elements can be connected to each other through bilateral and unilateral interactions that are representable by constraints or constitutive relations. We will develop and implement mathematical models, techniques, and algorithms that are made possible by this formulation. We will also investigate the feasibility and performance of numerical solution algorithms as_x000D_
they pertain to the different model forms. In the project we plan to train a group of 16 HQP trainees. The proposed work will be structured into three groups of activities that have several interconnection points.\ We expect that the results of the work will produce important research findings that will strongly contribute to the Canadian economy. The simulations and virtual environments industry has strong roots in Quebec. The expected results will further strengthen this industrial sector, and will generate the basis for new business opportunities and contribute to the creation of new jobs. This will be of significant benefit to our partner, CMLabs Simulations Inc., and the Canadian society at large., program purpose french : This proposal is a continuation of the previous successful collaboration with CMLabs Simulations.
