Part 1: scaffolds and surfaces.
(Elsevier, 2008)Every day thousands of clinical procedures are performed to replace or repair tissues in the human body that have been damaged through disease or trauma. Current therapies are focused on the replacement of the damaged ... -
Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) of Cold Spray of particles in supersonic nozzles
(Trinity Centre for Bioengineering, 2015) -
Particle sizing and flow measurements in an atomising mist jet nozzle: a Shadowgraphy approach
(2010)Particle sizing and velocity measurements are undertaken in an atomizing water mist jet impinging onto a heated copper plate. This study forms part of an investigation into the heat transfer and flow field obtained from ... -
Particle speed analysis in CoBlast
(2015)The deposition of well-adhered thin type of coatings is of great importance in manufacturing and is used in numerous applications. Of particular interest in the biomedical sector is the deposition of hydroxyapatite onto ... -
Passive mechanical properties of skeletal muscle in compression
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2007)The compressive properties of skeletal muscle are of prime interest in applications where muscle tissue is submitted to compressive loads; e.g., to improve the design of protective equipment for vehicular occupants, to ... -
Pedestrian Risk from Cars and Sport Utility Vehicles - A Comparative Analytical Study
(2006)Analysis of real-world crash data from the USA shows that 11.5 per cent of pedestrians struck by large sport utility vehicles (SUVs) are killed, compared with 4.5 per cent of pedestrians struck by passenger cars. The ... -
Pedestrian whole body ground contact mechanisms and head injury assessment following vehicle impact
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2020)According to the WHO, there are an estimated 1.35 million road-traffic related deaths each year, with pedestrians constituting approximately 22% of this figure, which justifies the necessity of research into vehicle-pedestrian ... -
PEDOT:PSS interfaces stabilised using a PEGylated crosslinker yield improved conductivity and biocompatibility.
(2019)The rapidly expanding fields of bioelectronics, and biological interfaces with electronic sensors and stimulators, are placing an increasing demand on candidate materials to serve as robust surfaces that are both biocompatible, ... -
Performance analysis of a prototype small scale electricity-producing biomass cooking stove
(2015)An electrical generator has been integrated with a locally produced, biomass-fed clay cooking stove in rural Malawi. The generator produces small amounts of electricity based on the thermoelectric effect. Five demonstrator ... -
Performance characterization of Ni60-WC coating on steel processed with supersonic laser deposition
(2015)Ni60-WC particles are used to improve the wear resistance of hard-facing steel due to their high hardness. An emerging technology that combines laser with cold spraying to deposit the hard-facing coatings is known as ... -
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 ...
