Engineering Innate Immunology in a Humanised, Functional, In Vitro Model of Healthy Myocardium
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2024)Cardiovascular disease stands as the leading cause of death globally, claiming approximately 19.05 million lives in 2020. On the contrary, the development of cardiovascular drugs is experiencing a decline, largely due to ... -
Computer approaches to total hip replacement evaluation just prior to operation
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 1999)The surgical operation of total hip replacement (THR) is, after 30 years, regarded as a successful medical procedure. The average life of an artificial hip has, however, remained at about 15 years for more than a decade, ... -
Wide Range Performance Measurement and Low-Fidelity Modelling of Turbocharger Turbines for Optimising Powertrain Efficiency
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2024)Turbochargers have been widely used for many years and have made remarkable contributions in reducing the vehicle emissions by reducing the engine size while maintaining the same power output. They are also needed in designs ... -
Application of the Theory of Critical Distances to As-Built Selective Laser Melted Ti-6Al-4V
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2024)Metal additive manufacturing (AM) techniques such as selective laser melting (SLM) have become an increasingly present feature of new and novel manufacturing methods in recent years.
