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, ... -
PERFORMANCE OF A CLOSED CYCLE POWER TAKE OFF FOR MUTRIKU BREAKWATER
(2022)An oscillating water column (OWC) type wave energy converter was installed in Mutriku breakwater (Basque Country, Spain). The wave power is transferred to an air flow that turns a turbine. The facility currently uses ... -
Performance of a Closed Cycle Power Takeoff for a Shore-Based Wave Energy Device
(2023)A promising class of devices for ocean wave energy conversion is called the oscillating water column in which the wave power is transferred to an airflow that rotates a turbine. A closed cycle power takeoff (CCPTO), in ... -
The pericellular environment regulates cytoskeletal development and the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells and determines their response to hydrostatic pressure.
(2013)The objective of this study was to examine the interplay between matrix stiffness and hydrostatic pressure (HP) in regulating chondrogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and to further elucidate the mechanotransductive ... -

Physically short crack propagation in metals during high cycle fatigue
(Elsevier, 2009)In metals, during high cycle fatigue on plain specimens, almost the entire fatigue life is spent as short crack initiation and propagation. The fatigue short crack life can be schematically divided into two subsequent ... -
Plate-type Acoustic Valve Resonator for, Low-frequency Sound Absorption
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2024)Plate-type acoustic metamaterials with deep-subwavelength thickness have generated considerable enthusiasm for addressing low-frequency noise. These metamaterials can be tailored to obtain high absorption efficiency by ... -
Plume Characterisation of a Single Source Electrospray for Micro Electronic Cooling
(2014)Development and optimization of two phase electrospray cooling is an undeveloped topic, in part due to unavailable knowledge of how the various electrical, geometrical, thermal and hydraulic parameters influence both ... -
Pneumatic artificial muscles for human-friendly mobile service robots
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2019)Developing robotic systems which can operate in complex, human centred environments is a major challenge, but one which holds the promise of dramatically improving human living standards in several areas including ... -
Polymer / clay nanocomposites
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2012)Polymer/clay nanocomposites are a new class of materials with unique properties that are not shared by the pristine polymers or the conventional composites. These materials may present enhanced mechanical, themial, barrier ... -
Pore-forming bioinks to enable spatio-temporally defined gene delivery in bioprinted tissues
(2019)The regeneration of complex tissues and organs remains a major clinical challenge. With a view towards bioprinting such tissues, we developed a new class of pore-forming bioink to spatially and temporally control the ... -
Porous decellularized tissue engineered hypertrophic cartilage as a scaffold for large bone defect healing
(2015)Clinical translation of tissue engineered therapeutics is hampered by the significant logistical and regulatory challenges associated with such products, prompting increased interest in the use of decellularized extracellular ... -
Porous poly(vinyl alcohol)/sepiolite bone scaffolds: preparation, structure and mechanical properties
(Elsevier, 2012)Porous poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/sepiolite nanocomposite scaffolds containing 0-10 wt.% sepiolite were prepared by freeze-drying and thermally crosslinked with poly(arylic acid). The microstructure of the obtained scaffolds ... -
Post-menopausal osteoporosis and the effect of remodelling on bone material
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2007)This work concerns the relationship between bone and its environment and how changes in this environment affect its mechanical behaviour. More particularly, it concerns how the alteration of this environment following ... -
Postnatal changes to the mechanical properties of articular cartilage are driven by the evolution of its collagen network
(2015)While it is well established that the composition and organisation of articular cartilage dramatically change during skeletal maturation, relatively little is known about how this impacts the mechanical properties of the ... -
Potential for combined delivery of riboflavin and all-trans retinoic acid, from silk fibroin for corneal bioengineering.
(2019)Millions of people worldwide suffer from vision impairing conditions resulting from corneal injury or disease. Silk fibroin (SF) is an emerging biopolymer that has been used for several applications including the fabrication ... -
Powder stream characteristics in cold spray nozzles
(2011)The exponential increase of industrial demand in the past two decades has led scientists to the development of alternative technologies for the fast manufacturing of engineering components, aside from ... -
Power and position-oriented process monitoring of freeform abrasive machining
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2013)Abrasive machining is used for the generation of freeform femoral implant surfaces in the biomedical industry. The abrasive machining operation is typified by high speed material removal in multiple axes, difficult-to-machine ...
