Theory of liquid and plastic limits for fine soils, methods of determination and outlook
(2024)Albert Atterberg introduced various consistency limits (state transitions) for fine-grained soil in the 1910s. Of these, the liquid limit (LL) and plastic limit (PL) are ubiquitous in geotechnical engineering practice, ... -
Impact of Nitrogen Dioxide on Health with Particular Emphasis on Vulnerable Groups
(Environmental Protection Agency, 2023)Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is a highly reactive gas and is primarily produced by the burning of fuel. It forms from emissions from cars, trucks and buses and power plants. Exposure to NO2 has been associated with adverse ... -
Assessment and mitigation of human's exposure to microplastics (MPs) from biodegradable plastics
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2024)Plastic waste and pollution have become a global environmental challenge due to their detrimental impacts on the environment, ecosystems, and human health. Since 1950s, plastic waste, particularly single-use plastics, has ... -
Concrete façade panels with enhanced thermal energy storage capacity
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Disc of Civil Structural & Environmental Eng, 2024)The escalating global climate change crises is motivating governments to seek solutions for reducing non-renewable energy consumption.

Investigating the Suitability of Multi-Scroll Volutes for Improving Spanwise Incidence of Mixed Flow Turbine Rotors With Varying Blade Cone Angles in Automotive Turbocharging Applications
(2024)Targets to reduce fuel consumption and reduce CO2 emissions have been met using engine downsizing and turbocharging. In automotive applications, it is important that the turbo charger responds well to transient events and ... -
Laboratory hydraulic tensile strength correlation with strength-based brittleness indices for carbonate reservoirs
(2024)Hydraulic fracturing (HF) is the primary choice for stimulating petroleum reservoirs. Rock tensile strength and brittleness are crucial parameters required for screening candidate reservoirs and in designing successful HF ... -
Impact of Sources of Damping On the Fragility Estimates of Wind Turbine Towers
(2024)Fragility estimates in wind turbine towers have been investigated but the the effect of damping on fragility has not been studied. While damping can often be small, it can come from different sources for a wind turbine. ... -
Wide Range Performance Measurement and Low-Fidelity Modelling of Turbocharger Turbines for Optimising Powertrain Efficiency
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2024)Turbochargers have been widely used for many years and have made remarkable contributions in reducing the vehicle emissions by reducing the engine size while maintaining the same power output. They are also needed in designs ... -
Physics-Informed Neural Network surrogate model for bypassing Blade Element Momentum theory in wind turbine aerodynamic load estimation
(2024)This paper proposes the use of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), specifically Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs), for dynamic surrogate modelling of wind turbines. PINNs offer the flexibility to model complex ... -
