Altering the architecture of tissue engineered hypertrophic cartilaginous grafts facilitates vascularisation and accelerates mineralisation.
(2014)Cartilaginous tissues engineered using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be leveraged to generate bone in vivo by executing an endochondral program, leading to increased interest in the use of such hypertrophic grafts ... -
Analysis of a Wide Range of Commercial Exterior Wood Coatings
(MDPI AG, 2020)This study was focused on measuring the properties of twenty-three commercially available coatings formulated for exterior wood applications. The coatings were characterized by measuring their surface tension, solid content, ... -
Analysis of tool cavity stresses in channel angular extrusion
(2006)The Channel Angular Extrusion (CAE) technique is a process, in which a deformable solid material is led to yielding through the intersection of inclined c hannels. Compared to classic plastic deformation, ... -
Analytical heat conduction model of annular composite fins
(2018)A two-dimensional analytical heat conduction model of an annular composite fin has been carried out.The composite fins composed of a porous polyethylene core, a square aluminum insert,and metallic zinc coating layers, ... -
An anisotropic inelastic constitutive model to describe stress softening and permanent deformation in arterial tissue
(2012)Inelastic phenomena such as softening and unrecoverable inelastic strains induced by loading have been observed experimentally in soft tissues such as arteries. These phenomena need to be accounted for in constitutive ... -
The anisotropic mechanical behaviour of passive skeletal muscle tissue subjected to large tensile strain
(2013)The passive mechanical properties of muscle tissue are important for many biomechanics applications. However, significant gaps remain in our understanding of the three-dimensional tensile response of passive skeletal ... -
Anomaly detection in drilling using neural networks
(1999)With increasing competitive pressures, manuf acturing systems in the automotive industry are being driven more and more aggressively. The pressures imposed on the processes and lack of system 'slack' have led to ... -
Apparent behaviour of charged and neutral materials with ellipsoidal fibre distributions and cross-validation of finite element implementations
(2012)Continuous fibre distribution models can be applied to a variety of biological tissues with both charged and neutral extracellular matrices. In particular, ellipsoidal models have been used to describe the complex material ... -
Applications of the Theory of Critical Distances in Failure Analysis
(Elsevier, 2010)The Theory of Critical Distances (TCD) is the name which I use to describe a group of methods employed for the prediction of failure in cases where stress concentrations are present and where the failure mode involves ... -
An Argument for the Use of Multiple Segment Stents in Curved Arteries
(2011)Stenting of curved arteries is generally perceived to be more challenging than straight vessels. Conceptually implanting multiple shorter stents rather than a single longer stent into such a curved artery represents a ... -
Assessment of the parametric roll behaviour of a point absorber wave energy conversion device in irregular waves.
(2017)The response of the Wavebob wave energy conversion device has investigated numerically in long crested irregular waves generated using the JONSWAP wave spectrum. Only long crested waves are considered as the roll mode ... -
Battery Charging Considerations in Small Scale Electricity Generation from a Thermoelectric Module
(2014)This project involves the development of a prototype electrical gen erator for delivering and storing small amounts of electricity. Power is generated using the thermoelectric effect. A single ...
