Objective and Quantitative acoustic-analysis of musicians dystonia
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2020)Musician s Dystonia (MD) is the most common movement disorder affecting musicians. Being a specific phenotype of Dystonia, MD is a focal, task-specific and painless disorder that affects motor control during musical ... -
Observations of Surface Acoustic Wave Strain and Resistive Strain Measurements on Broaching Tools for Process Monitoring
(2014)The monitoring of high end material removal processes continues to develop to greater levels of technical sophistication which in turn enable greater levels of insight into the process phenomena occurring at the tool-chip ... -
On effect of primed cellular microcapsules and pH neutralizing biomaterials to augment regeneration of the intervertebral disc
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2020)One of the most common topics of research worldwide for medical health care is low back pain (LBP). It is widely accepted that LBP is associated with degeneration of the intervertebral disc (IVD), the shock absorbent soft ... -
On the acoustics of installed subsonic jets
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2009)The reduction of community exposure to aircraft noise is an important consideration in the design of future aircraft. A review is currently under way of novel aircraft configurations, which may exploit the fuselage, wings ... -
On the assessment of a VOF based compressive interface capturing scheme for the analysis of bubble impact on and bounce from a flat horizontal surface
(2014)The process of free rise, collision on and bounce from a solid horizontal surface for a single isolated bubble is investigated by numerical simulations based on the Volume of Fluid method (VOF). The volume fraction ... -
On the development of scaffolds for bone tissue engineering
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2007)Many of the current tissue-engineering scaffold-based strategies have suffered from limited cell depth viability when cultured in vitro, with viable cells existing within the outer 250-500 μm from the fluid-scaffold ... -
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-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 ... -
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 ... -
Optimisation and 3D Printing of Paediatric Stents
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2023)Aortic coarctation is a congenital heart defect that occurs 3 per 10,000 live births with a life expectancy of 35 years if left untreated. Stenting is a common treatment method, but devices are not specifically designed ... -
Optimisation of process parameters and tooling during friction stir welding of AA2024-T3
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2011)Friction stir welding (FSW) was invented and experimentally proven at The Welding Institute (TWI) in 1991. The process involves the joining of two metal pieces without melting by joining their molecules together. The tool ... -
