Ultrasonic impact grinding machine tool and process development
(University of Dublin, Trinity College, 2013)Ultrasonic Impact Grinding (UIG) is a mechanical material removal process used to erode holes and cavities in hard and brittle materials such as glass, ceramics, silicon carbide, quartz and ... -
Unravelling the role of mechanical cues on the chondrogenic differentiation of stem cells
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2019)The inability of adult articular cartilage to regenerate has motivated the development of tissue engineering strategies to repair cartilage defects before they progress to osteoarthritis. Common cell based strategies ... -
Validation of numerical methods in cold spray by direct nozzle-internal measurements of non-dilute particle motion
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2018)This work presents the research conducted during the development of a new optical particle velocity measurement in the field of Cold Spray. Cold Spray is a process for surface coating formation and additive manufacturing, ... -
Vertical Upflow Convective Boiling: Flow Regimes, Heat Transfer and EHD Augmentation
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2018)This work focuses on vertical upflow convective boiling in a tubular heat exchanger. The work is experimental and utilizes a novel transparent sapphire test section coated with a transparent film of ITO. This allows ... -
Vortex shedding lock-in of a 2-D wind turbine blade section at high angles of attack
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2015)The vortex shedding behaviour of a 2-D wind turbine blade section at high angles of attack (a = [35° —>145°]) has been investigated using unsteady RANS with the transition SST turbulence model. The Reynolds number is Re = ...
