Microstructural and mechanical insight into atherosclerotic plaques: an ex vivo DTI study to better assess plaque vulnerability
(2023)Non-invasive microstructural characterisation has the potential to determine the stability, or lack thereof, of atherosclerotic plaques and ultimately aid in better assessing plaques’ risk to rupture. If linked with ... -
Two- and three-dimensional in vitro nucleus pulposus cultures: An in silico analysis of local nutrient microenvironments
(2022)Background It is well established that the unique biochemical microenvironment of the intervertebral disc plays a predominant role in cell viability and biosynthesis. However, unless the effect of microenvironmental ... -
Rat tail models for the assessment of injectable nucleus pulposus regeneration strategies
(2022)Back pain is a global epidemiological and socioeconomic problem often associated with intervertebral disc degeneration; a condition believed to initiate in the nucleus pulposus (NP). There is considerable interest in ... -
Multi-chamber micro-perforated panel absorbers optimised for high amplitude broadband absorption using a two-point impedance method
(2023)An optimised, multi-chamber, micro-perforated panel absorber (MC-MPPA) with micro-perforated adjoining panels is presented in this paper. An MPPA is a clean and efficient noise absorber with a simple structure making it ... -
Hydrostatic pressure promotes chondrogenic differentiation and microvesicle release from human embryonic and bone marrow stem cells
(2022)Mechanical stimulation plays in an important role in regulating stem cell differentiation and their release of extracellular vesicles (EVs). In this study, effects of low magnitude hydrostatic pressure (HP) on the chondrogenic ... -
How to design, develop and build a fully-integrated melt electrowriting 3D printer
(2022)Melt electrowriting (MEW) is a high resolution material extrusion based additive manufacturing process with the unique capability to produce micron to sub-micron diameter fibres and control their deposition in three ... -
Surface Free Energy Dominates the Biological Interactions of Postprocessed Additively Manufactured Ti-6Al-4V
(2022)Additive manufacturing (AM) has emerged as a disruptive technique within healthcare because of its ability to provide personalized devices; however, printed metal parts still present surface and microstructural defects, ... -
Investigation of the effect of low-temperature annealing and impact angle on the erosion performance of nickel-tungsten carbide cold spray coating using design of experiments
(2022)This study investigates the solid particle erosion performance of cold sprayed tungsten carbide-nickel coatings using alumina particles as erodent material. After the coatings fabrication, specimens were annealed in an ... -
Systematic research on the formation of heterogenous microstructure in FeCoNiCrMn high entropy cold spray
(2022)High entropy alloys, as a novel alloy system, demonstrated excellent mechanical performance. However, despite its excellent mechanical performance, the strength-ductility trade-off effect still limit its performance. In ... -
Interparticle bonding and interfacial nanocrystallization mechanisms in cold sprayed metallic glass
(2022)In this work, amorphous Zr-based bulk metallic glass deposit was manufactured by cold spray. The bonding mechanism of metallic glass particles was systematically investigated through studying the deformation behavior of ... -
Effect of the axial gap on the energy consumption of a single-blade wastewater pump
(2021)The effect of the axial gap on the energy consumption of a single-blade wastewater pump (Sulzer XFP PE-2 150E CB1.1) is assessed using URANS simulations with ANSYS Fluent. The numerical model was compared to experimental data ... -
Numerical analysis of acoustic noise from an electronic cooling fan at flow disturbed by an external obstacle
(internoise2022.org, 2022-08-24)Axial cooling fans are widely used in data center dense Hard Disk Drive (HDD) storage systems. However, these fans emit high noise levels and degrade HDD performance at certain frequencies. Flow at the fan's inlet can ... -
Fan Noise Reduction using Acoustic Metamaterials towards Efficient Data Centers
(2022)Unwanted sound from cooling fans has been a significant obstacle that limits the performance of data center Hard Disk Drive (HDD) storage systems. Acoustic metamaterials (AM) can be a solution to this problem. AM’s can ... -

Flexible solar and thermal energy conversion devices: Organic photovoltaics (OPVs), organic thermoelectric generators (OTEGs) and hybrid PV-TEG systems
(2022)Solar and thermal energy conversion are two major renewable energy technologies highly sought after in the past two decades by academia, industry, and policymakers. Besides the traditionally large-size solar and thermal ... -
Experimental Investigation of Heat Transfer Enhancement by Pulsating Flow in a Minichannel
(2021)The increasing power density requirements of next generation high performance electronic devices has resulted in ever-increasing heat flux densities which necessitates the evolution of new liquid-based heat exchange ... -
Performance evaluation of thermoelectric generators under cyclic heating
(2021)The effect of thermal cycling on thermoelectric generator (TEG) performance is investigated for six nominally identical samples subjected to the same heating cycle profile. All TEGs experienced performance degradation, ... -
A computational conjugate heat transfer study of a rectangular minichannel undergoing sinusoidal flow pulsations
(2022)The development of current and next generation high performance electronic devices has led to smaller components in more densely packed spaces. The increasing power levels have resulted in ever-increasing heat flux densities ... -
An experimental evaluation of thermoelectric generator performance under cyclic heating regimes
(2022)Thermal cycling is known to adversely affect the performance and lifespan of thermoelectric generators (TEGs) yet has received limited attention to date. The current study experimentally investigates the effect of thermal ...
