Quantification of Subsurface Damage in a Brittle Insulating Ceramic by Three-Dimensional Focused Ion Beam Tomography
(2011)In this study, we present a fully automated method to investigate and reconstruct the three-dimensional crack structure beneath an indent in a highly insulating material. This work concentrates on issues arising from a ... -
Quantitative accoustic analysis of inhaler sounds for the objective assessment of inhaler adherence in patients with chronic respiratory diseases
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2016)Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are two of the most prevalent chronic respiratory disorders. Over 800 million people suffer from these diseases and over four million people die annually. Although ... -
RANKL and OPG activity is regulated by injury size in networks of osteocyte-like cells
(2011)Bone remodelling is an intricate process encompassing numerous paracrine and autocrine biochemical pathways and mechanical mechanisms. It is responsible for maintaining bone homeostasis, structural integrity and function. ... -
Rat tail models for the assessment of injectable nucleus pulposus regeneration strategies
(2022)Back pain is a global epidemiological and socioeconomic problem often associated with intervertebral disc degeneration; a condition believed to initiate in the nucleus pulposus (NP). There is considerable interest in ... -
The rationale and emergence of electroconductive biomaterial scaffolds in cardiac tissue engineering.
(2019)The human heart possesses minimal regenerative potential, which can often lead to chronic heart failure following myocardial infarction. Despite the successes of assistive support devices and pharmacological therapies, ... -
Rear impact inflicted temporomandibular joint injuries
(Taylor and Francis, 2000)Indirect injuries to the jaw can lead to a range of painful symptoms with serious consequences. These injuries are confirmed by clinical evidence but the injury mechanism is not understood. This work is an investigation ... -
Recapitulating Aspects of the Oxygen and Substrate Environment of the Damaged Joint Milieu for Stem Cell-Based Cartilage Tissue Engineering.
(2013)Human infrapatellar fat pad contains a source of mesenchymal stem cells (FPSCs) that potentially offer a novel population for the treatment of damaged or diseased articular cartilage. Existing cartilage repair strategies ... -
Recapitulating bone development through engineered mesenchymal condensations and mechanical cues for tissue regeneration
(2019)Large bone defects cannot form a callus and exhibit high complication rates even with the best treatment strategies available. Tissue engineering approaches often use scaffolds designed to match the properties of mature ... -
Reconfigurable manufacturing process monitoring systems
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2016)Performance measurement is indispensable to manufacturing, due to the fact that if the efficiency of an activity cannot be measured it could not be effectively controlled. Recent trends in process monitoring systems point ... -
Reconfigurable test execution systems machine and process development
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2018)Reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMS) are a key enabling technology to meet new challenges in a global market. These emerging products and markets are defined as having short development cycles, being highly customisable ... -
Recovery factor and conjugate heat transfer for micro jet impingement
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2010)Impinging jets are renowned for achieving high rates of heat transfer over extended periods of time. The bulk of the research to date in this area has focused on relatively large diameter jets. However, the current study ... -
Reduced-order aeroacoustic modeling of electronics cooling fans
(Society of Acoustics, Singapore, 2022)As the trend of compact packaging and high-density thermal management continues, the acoustic noise emission from electronics cooling fans is becoming a critical concern. High-fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) ... -
Reducing Uncertainty in PHM by Accounting for Human Factors â " A Case Study in the Biopharmaceutical Industry
(2015)he ultimate goal of prognostics within Through-life Engineering Services (TES) is to accurately predict the remaining useful life (RUL) of components. Prognostic frameworks inherently presume that there is predictability ... -
Reinforcing interpenetrating network hydrogels with 3D printed polymer networks to engineer cartilage mimetic composites
(2020)Engineering constructs that mimic the complex structure, composition and biomechanics of the articular cartilage represents a promising route to joint regeneration. Such tissue engineering strategies require the development ...
