Cartilage extraceullular matrix-derived scaffolds for joint regeneration
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2016)The goal of this thesis was to address key limitations associated with autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) for articular cartilage regeneration, specifically the need for two hospital stays, cell culture and high ... -
Case study of the Home Energy Saving Scheme : a multidisciplinary approach
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2014)The EU has set itself the objective of achieving 20% primary energy savings by 2020. Because of the relatively recent move towards sustainability, there is a limited understanding of how effective related policies and ... -
Cell-matrix interactions regulate mesenchymal stem cell response to hydrostatic pressure
(2012)Both hydrostatic pressure (HP) and cell-matrix interactions have independently been shown to regulate the chondrogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis ... -
CFD modelling of the cross-flow through normal triangular tube arrays with one tube undergoing forced vibrations or fluidelastic instability
(2016)A CFD methodology involving structure motion and dynamic re-meshing has been optimized and applied to simulate the unsteady flow through normal triangular cylinder arrays with one single tube undergoing either forced ... -
Characterisation and modelling of electro-pneumatic production systems
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2011)Compressed air is a widely employed energy source in modern manufacturing, accounting for a large percentage of plant electrical energy usage. However, the energy efficiency of such systems can be particularly low. Accurate ... -
Characterisation and Reduction of Aircraft Landing Gear Noise
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2017)Aircraft noise has become an important concern in aviation design as it has a negative impact on the health of people living in the vicinity of airports. The total noise of an aircraft is generated by the engines and by ... -
Characterisation of an integrated telemetric temperature sensor for CFRP milling applications
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2013)The concept of a sensor designed to measure the behaviour of a machining process is a fundamental part of process monitoring and control. The perception of such a sensor is often underestimated when novel applications are ... -
Characterisation of the performance of single point diamond dressers in abrasive processes
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2014)This thesis presents in-depth investigation and analysis of the dressing of conventional grinding wheels. Grinding is used in the manufacturing industry to achieve a high surface finish which is an important constituent ... -
Characteristics of cyclist collisions in Ireland: Analysis of a self-reported survey
(2021)As both a utility mode of transport and recreational activity, cycling has well-known health, environmental, and economic benefits. For these reasons it has been encouraged in many countries, including the Republic of ... -
Characterization of a single 90-degrees 'UREAD' energy channel
(2006)Most engineering products are designed to either deliver or withstand a specific maximum force or level of energy. It is important however that the design of a struct ure or a machine incorporates an external or ... -
Characterization of extracellular matrix modified poly(¿-caprolactone) electrospun scaffolds with differing fiber orientations for corneal stroma regeneration
(2020)Alternatives to donor cornea transplantation based on tissue engineering are desirable to overcome the current severe donor tissue shortage. Many natural polymers have good biological properties but poor mechanical properties ... -
Characterization of Low Noise Technologies Applied to a Full Scale Fuselage Mounted Nose Landing Gear
(The Institute of Noise Control Engineering of the USA, Inc., 2015) -
Characterization of the aircraft bay/landing gear coupling noise at low subsonic speeds and its suppression using leading-edge chevron spoiler
(Sage Publications, 2019)When the aircraft opens the bay door to let the landing gear either drop or retract, the incoming flow will result in a significant amount of coupling noise from the bay and the landing gear. Here, an experimental study ... -
Characterization of the Erosion of Soft Tissue by Surgical Mesh In Vitro
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2021)Surgical mesh implants have been extensively used in hernia treatment and pelvic organ procedures, such as organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence. Since the onset of the use of such implants, major complications ...
