  Fluid inerter for optimal vibration control of floating offshore wind turbine towers 

  Fitzgerald, Breiffni (2022)

  This paper proposes the use of a tuned mass damper fluid-inerter (TMDFI) for vibration control of spar-type floating offshore wind turbine towers. The use of an inerter in parallel with the spring and damper of a tuned ...

  Use of fall-cone flow index for soil classification: a new plasticity chart 

  O'Kelly, Brendan (2022)

  Use of the Casagrande-style plasticity chart to classify fine-grained soils using Atterberg's liquid and plastic limits is ubiquitous in geotechnical engineering. This classification is dependent on the thread-rolling and ...

  Stabilization of a highly expansive soil using waste-tire-derived aggregates and lime treatment 

  O'Kelly, Brendan (2022)

  This study investigates the combined efficacy of waste-tire-derived aggregate (TDA) materials and hydrated lime on the compactability, compressive strength and swelling potential of a highly expansive soil from South ...
