On the suitability of the Generalised Pareto to model extreme waves
(2018)Dealing with extreme events implies working with events that have low probability of occurrence. To characterize these, the peak-over-threshold method alongside the generalized Pareto distribution is commonly applied. ... -
On the use of indentation technique to assess fracture properties of ceramics at the microscale
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2011)Classic methods to determine fracture properties of ceramics (like Single-Edge Notched Beam or Compact Tension) are accurate at the macroscale but inappropriate to estimate local fracture properties which are decisive at ... -
On the Value of Information forecasting with multi-information systems
(2023)The deterioration of structural components together with the climate and mobility increasing demands undermine civil structuresメ safety and functionality performance. Planning of maintenance activities is necessary, along ... -
On-line monitoring of ambient hydrocarbon concentrations
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2001)The result of a comprehensive set of hydrocarbon measurements undertaken at an urban roadside, rural and industrial site in Ireland are presented. Very little reported data on ambient hydrocarbon measurements were ... -
On-site energy generation for a decarbonized Irish manufacturing industry
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2020)The objective of the thesis is to explore whether it is technically, economically and en-vironmentally feasible for an Irish manufacturing facility to become an energy prosumer, byproducing energy on-site, and decrease the ... -
On-site energy generation in the manufacturing industry: effects on the variability of the net electricity demand
(2020)Local distribution system operators (DSOs) are currently dealing with the unpredictability and high variability of energy production coming from an increasing number of distributed variable renewable energy (VRE) systems. ... -
On-site renewable electricity production and self consumption for manufacturing industry in Ireland: Sensitivity to techno-economic conditions
(2019)The technical and economic feasibility of on-site renewable energy production from solar and wind for a specific manufacturing plant in Ireland is assessed. The energy load of the plant during a typical year is identified ... -
Online Aleatory Uncertainty Quantification for Probabilistic Time Series Models
(2023)Engineering problems rely on probabilistic models for decision making tasks. One such approach are the state-space models used for time series forecasting which involve unknown parameters for not only modelling physical ... -
Online Parsing of Sports Coaching Video Through Intrinsic Motion Analysis
(2007)Automatic record and review of actions in sports training sessions is of great benefit to both coach and athlete. Many coaching sessions involve repetition of particular actions to hone technique, such as a swing from ... -
Open Design and the Reprap Project
(2010)This paper details the investigation of an emerging trend within technology development: `open design?. Improvements in communications and computing technology have made collaboration over geographically vast distances ... -
Optical characteristics of ordinary and tunable 1D Si photonic crystals in the mid-infrared range
(2005)Reflection spectra and photonic band gaps (PBGs) for periodic structures consisting of grooved Si infiltrated with nematic liquid crystals (LCs) E7 have been obtained experimentally and by simulation. Periodically grooved ... -
Optical confirmation of biaxial nematic (Nb) phase in a bent-core mesogen
(2009)A bent-core mesogen with different end groups has been studied for different surface conditions in both planar and homeotropic cells using techniques for measuring biaxiality and optical switching. Biaxial nematic phase ... -
Optical properties of diamond films grown by MPCVD method with alternating nanodiamond injection
(Society of Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE), 2005)Transparent polycrystalline diamond films with grain size ranging from a few tens to hundreds of nanometres were prepared on fused silica substrate by Microwave Chemical Plasma Vapour Deposition method (MPCVD). The ... -
Optical properties of grooved silicon structures: theory and experiment
(2011)The reflection spectra of grooved silicon structures consisting of alternating silicon walls and grooves (air channels) with a period of a = 4?6 ?m are studied experimentally and theoretically in the mid-IR spectral range ... -
Optical rotatory power of different phases of an antiferroelectric liquid crystal and implications for models of structure
(American Physical Society, 2001)The investigation of the antiferroelectic liquid crystal (AFLC) was presented. The crystal was found to possess different helical smectic phases identified through a texture under cross-polarizers with a homeotropic alignment ... -
Optical rotatory power, biaxiality and the models of the chiral tilted smectic phases
(2003)Among the chiral tilted smectics, the stable existence has been confirmed in numerous investigations of SmCA*, ~antiferroelectric smectic-CA) SmCF11* (SmCg*), SmCF12* ~antiferroelectric, AF! and SmC* phases. The structures ...
