  • Aspects of the fatigue behaviour of acrylic bone cement 

    Murphy, Bruce Philip (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2002)
    Polymethylmethacrylate bone cement is used to fixate many orthopaedic implants. However, it is a brittle material, prone to damage accumulation leading to cement cracking and prosthesis loosening. The damage accumulation ...
  • BIOFABRICATION STRATEGIES TO GUIDE THE SELF-ORGANISATION OF BIOMIMETIC CARTILAGE AND OSTEOCHONDRAL TISSUES 

    Burdis, Ross (Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2021)
    The modest clinical impact of musculoskeletal tissue engineering (TE) can be attributed, at least in part, to a failure to recapitulate the structure, composition and functional properties of the target tissue. This has ...
  • A biomechanical analysis of cyclist collisions in Ireland 

    Gildea, Kevin (Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2023)
    As both a 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 Ireland. ...
  • A Biomechanical Assessment of Direct and Inertial Head Loading in Rugby Union 

    TIERNEY, GREGORY JOHN (Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2018)
    Rugby union is a territorial, dynamic and high-impact collision sport. Unfortunately, due to its physical and high impact nature, the incidence of concussion is high. There is mounting evidence that repeatedly sustaining ...
  • Biomechanical origins of osteoporosis 

    McNamara, Laoise Maria (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2004)
    The contention of this thesis is that a pathological change in bone tissue material properties during osteoporosis ahers the mechanical stimuli to bone remodelling cells and drives them to adapt the trabecular architecture ...
  • Biomechanics of Repair in Invertebrates 

    O'NEILL, MAEVE (Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2019)
    Repair is a ubiquitous process in nature, and it is one of the many features of biological materials that humans are constantly attempting to recreate. Though the process of repair has been studied in mammals, very little ...
  • Biophysical Regulation of Stem Cell Osteogenic Lineage Commitment: A Role for the Cytoskeleton 

    STAVENSCHI, ELENA (Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2019)
    Osteoporosis is a debilitating disease characterised by weakened bone architecture due to increased resorption activity of osteoclasts and diminished bone deposition by mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) derived osteoblasts. ...
  • Boundary element methods for the prediction of aircraft noise shielding in flight 

    Clancy, Cathal (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2011)
    Aircraft noise emissions may be significantly reduced by positioning the aeroengines above the wings or fuselage so as to utilize the shielding effect of the airframe. Computational tools are likely to play a key role in ...
  • Bubble growth dynamics in nucleate pool boiling with liquid subcooling effects 

    Mat Nawi, Muhad Rozi (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2014)
    Heat transfer in nucleate pool boiling has been characterized by very high dissipated heat fluxes whilst requiring low driving temperature differences. The rate of bubble growth and the subsequent bubble motion has a ...
  • Bubble growth dynamics including gravitational and electric field effects 

    Di Bari, Sergio (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2011)
    In the present work the hydrodynamics of adiabatic gas bubble growth from a submerged orifice is investigated with the view of elucidating the interdependence of the bubble shape and the pressure field during growth and ...
  • Bubble impingement and the mechanisms of heat transfer enhancement 

    Donoghue, David B (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2014)
    Fluid agitation and mixing ensuing from two phase flow has an important role to play within two phase flow heat exchangers, which are at the forefront of energy conversion. Within these environments, vapour bubbles may ...
  • Bubble-induced Marangoni convection 

    O'Shaughnessy, Seamus (Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2011)
    Thermal Marangoni convection about a 1mm radius air bubble situated under a heated wall of constant temperature immersed in a silicone oil layer (Pr = 220) of constant depth 5mm was experimentally investigated using a flow ...
  • Cartilage extraceullular matrix-derived scaffolds for joint regeneration
