Factors influencing e-cargo bike mode choice for small businesses
(2023)As a viable alternative to traditional and electric cars and vans, e-cargo bikes have the potential to improve the sustainability of urban logistics operations, particularly for last-mile deliveries. In this study, e-cargo ... -
Factors influencing preferences for real-time public transport information
(Association for European Transport, 2007)This paper presents the results of a study undertaken in Dublin, to ascertain preferences for real-time public transport information. This study examines the need for public transport information across three stages of ... -
Fallacy of wide undrained strength range at the Casagrande liquid limit
(2019)The liquid limit (LL), as originally proposed by Atterberg, is notionally the water content below which fine-grained soil ceases to flow as a liquid. In many countries, the Casagrande-cup approach is the standard procedure ... -
Fatigue reliability using a multiple surface approach
(2019)Reliability analysis for offshore wind turbine structural fatigue is an effort demanding task. The new trends in the design of these systems, such as, the usage of alternative computational fluid dynamics or finite element ... -
FEM non-linear modelling of cob using ANSYS
(Scientech, 2018) -
A field investigation into the mechanisms of pile ageing in sand
(2021)The design of axially loaded piles has been an area of focus for the offshore industry in recent years. A number of studies report substantial increases in the shaft capacity of piles driven in sand, known as pile ageing. ... -
Field measurements of horizontal stress on an instrumented pile in sand
(ASCE: Reston, VA, USA, 2006) -
A finite-strain hyperviscoplastic model and undrained triaxial tests of peat
(2017)This paper presents a finite-strain hyperviscoplastic constitutive model within a thermodynamically consistent framework for peat which was categorised as a material with both rate-dependent and thermodynamic equilibrium ... -
Fish Friendly Micro-Hydropower: Centrifugal Screw Pump-as-Turbines
(2023)Significant attention has been placed on the development of pump-as-turbines (PATs) for low-cost production of hydropower in the micro and pico scales. Research has focused on the modelling and prediction of the performance ... -
Fitness of a high-calcium slag for the production of alkali activated materials.
(ISBN: 978-989-54499-1-0, 2021)Alkali-activated (AA) materials are considered a more sustainable alternative to some traditional materials. This paper studies the feasibility of producing building materials by activating an Irish ground granulated blast ... -
Flexural bond strength of natural hydraulic lime mortar and clay brick.
(2010)This paper measures the bond strength of natural hydraulic-lime (NHL) mortars, to further characterise their properties and enhance their use in building. An additional objective is to correlate bond strength with mortar ... -
Flow in a large wind field with multiple actuators in the presence of constant vorticity
(2022)Study of wind farms is an area of active research. Researchers have proposed simplified wind farm models which define the wake structure in a wind farm and how they affect the performance of the wind turbines. Interestingly ... -
Fluid inerter for optimal vibration control of floating offshore wind turbine towers
(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 ... -
Foundation damping for offshore wind turbines on monopile supports: a review
(2021)Today, an important challenge for offshore wind energy is to design efficient and reliable offshore wind turbines (OWTs). The overall damping of OWTs plays an important role in the design process as it limits the amplitude ...
