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 ... -
Manipulation of decellularized porcine scaffolds for tissue engineering vascular grafts
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2014)The prevalence of vascular disease continues to increase worldwide, the treatment for which relies heavily on diseased vessel replacement. Tissue engineering vascular grafts potentially offers a new solution for addressing ... -
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 ... -
Measuring physical function in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: Novel solutions to an old problem
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2023)Sensitive, objective outcome measures are essential for tracking clinical severity in neurodegenerative conditions such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or Parkinson’s Disease. The current ‘gold standard’ multi-item rating ... -
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 Assessment of the Risk of Atherosclerotic Plaque Rupture in Carotid Arteries with a Focus on Damage Accumulation
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2019)Carotid atherosclerotic plaque rupture is one of the leading causes of death. Growth and development of atherosclerotic plaque alters the geometry and mechanical environment of the healthy arterial tissue. Supra-physiological ... -
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.
(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 ... -
Mechanical properties of diamond impregnated cobalt metal matrix
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2011)Diamond Impregnated Metal Matrix (DIMM) composite materials are a class of materials used in cutting and drilling of stone and construction materials. This thesis examined the effects of diamond size and diamond concentration ... -
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 ... -
Mechanically stimulated osteocytes promote the proliferation and migration of breast cancer cells via a potential CXCL1/2 mechanism
(2021)Bone represents the most common site for breast cancer metastasis. Bone is a highly dynamic organ that is constantly adapting to its biophysical environment, orchestrated largely by the resident osteocyte network. Osteocytes ... -
Mechanics applied to skeletal ontogeny and phylogeny
(Springer, 2002)The musculo-skeletal system serves the mechanical function of creating motion and transmitting loads. It is made up mainly of four components: bone, cartilage, muscle and fibrous connective tissue. These have evolved over ... -
Mechanics of the linea alba and suture-based wound closure
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2016)Over the past thirty years, there has been a dramatic change in the methodology of abdominal surgery. The introduction of digitalisation, miniaturisation, improved optics, novel imaging techniques and computerised information ...
