Local Heat Transfer to an Evaporating Sessile Droplet in an Electric Field
(2016)Local heat transfer of an evaporating sessile droplet under a static electric field is an underdeveloped topic. In this research an 80 μl water droplet is placed in the centre of a 25 μm thick stainless steel substrate. A ... -
Local heat transfer to an evaporating superhydrophobic droplet
(2018)The heat flux distribution beneath a superhydrophobic evaporating droplet has been explored. High speed, high resolution infrared thermography was employed to measure the heat transfer characteristics of the evaporating ... -
Loss of trabeculae by mechano-biological means may explain rapid bone loss in osteoporosis.
(2008)Osteoporosis is characterized by rapid and irreversible loss of trabecular bone tissue leading to increased bone fragility. In this study, we hypothesize two causes for rapid loss of bone trabeculae; firstly, the perforation ... -
Low oxygen tension is a more potent promoter of chondrogenic
(2010)During fracture healing and microfracture treatment of cartilage defects mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) infiltrate the wound site, proliferate extensively and differentiate along a cartilaginous or an osteogenic lineage ... -
Macroscale modelling of Bridgman furnace solidification for the prediction of texture evolution and columnar to equiaxed transition
(Institute of Physics, 2016)Bridgman furnaces are commonly used in solidification research owing to their convenience when setting the desired solidification parameters, specifically, the nominal temperature gradient and nominal growth rate. The work ... -
Manufacture of Reflective Aluminium Surfaces Using Cold Spray
(ASM International, 2018)This research demonstrates the use of cold spray (CS) as an additive manufacturing process to manufacture reflective aluminium coatings. Nitrogen was used as a carrier gas at various gas heating temperatures. Following ... -
Measurement of grinding temperatures using a foil/workpiece thermocouple
(Elsevier, 2012)The high temperature generated in abrasive processes is the main factor responsible for thermal damage to a ground surface. It can be predicted through the thermal balance of the heat fluxes in the process. Such predictions ... -
Measuring and Modeling Oxygen Transport and Consumption in 3D Hydrogels Containing Chondrocytes and Stem Cells of Different Tissue Origins.
(2021)Understanding how the local cellular environment influences cell metabolism, phenotype and matrix synthesis is crucial to engineering functional tissue grafts of a clinically relevant scale. The objective of this study was ... -
Mechanical and fatigue properties of diamond-reinforced Cu and Al metal matrix composites prepared by cold spray
(2021)Diamond-reinforced composites prepared by cold spray are emerging materials simultaneously featuring outstanding thermal conductivity and wear resistance. Their mechanical and fatigue properties relevant ... -
Mechanical behaviour of transparent nano fibrillar cellulose-chitosan nano composite films in dry and wet conditions
(2014)Transparent, biocompatible and biodegradable chitosan (CS) nanocomposite films rein- forced with nanofibrillar cellulose (NFC) were prepared by solution casting. The effects of NFC content on the mechanical properties in ... -
Mechanical Influences on Morphogenesis of the Knee Joint Revealed through Morphological, Molecular and Computational Analysis of Immobilised Embryos.
(University of Edinburgh (datashare), 2011)Very little is known about the regulation of morphogenesis in synovial joints. Mechanical forces generated from muscle contractions are required for normal development of several aspects of normal skeletogenesis. Here we ... -
Mechanically induced structural changes during dynamic compression of engineered cartilaginous constructs can potentially explain increases in bulk mechanical properties.
(2012)Several studies on chondrocyte seeded hydrogels in bioreactor culture report increased mechanical properties of mechanically loaded constructs compared to unloaded free swelling controls despite no significant differences ...
