A 12 month prospective cohort study of injury in international rowers.
(2010)Objective: In this study, the injury incidence and association with type and volume of training in international rowers were described. Design: A prospective cohort design was used over a 12- month period. Patients: ... -
3-dimensional solder paste inspection using Structured Light techniques
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2002)Re-modelling of three-dimensional solder paste constructed from optical profilometry has gathered ever-increasing attention in different inspection and process control sectors of the electronics Printed Circuit Board ... -
3D Bioprinting of Developmentally Inspired Templates for Bone and Joint Regeneration
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2018)There is an urgent need to develop alternatives to synthetic joint prosthesis to promote the regeneration of diseased osteoarthritic joints. Cell based therapies have shown promise for repairing cartilage and bone; however, ... -
A biomechanical analysis of the trunk and spine during paediatric cerebral palsy gait
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2017)Movement pathologies in the lower limbs of children with cerebral palsy are well established in the literature. However, movement pathologies of the upper body, in particular the trunk, are less well defined. Mechanical ... -
A Bridgman Furnace Front Tracking Model
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2015)The Bridgman furnace is widely used in industry and research, mainly because it provides a means to directionally solidify materials in a controlled manner, so that the resulting microstructure, and hence material properties, ... -
A forward advancing wave expansion method for numerical solution of large-scale sound propagation problems
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2007)The study of atmospheric somid propagation has become an important subject since noise polhition problems emerged as a highly relevant matter in several areas such as sociology, economics, regulations and standards. Modelling ... -
A framework for the Efficiency Evaluation of Ireland's Electricity Power System using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA)
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2013)The complex modem Electricity Power System (EPS) is the most significant pervasive infrastructure underpinning the social, technological, and economic development of modem economies The context in which modern EPSs operate ... -
A methodology for assessing the load capacity of cantilevered stone stairs
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2012)Cantilevered stone stairs were widely constructed from the 17th to the 20th century. Thousands of these stairs were built in Ireland and across Europe during this period and they have proven to be very robust. However, the ... -
A new technique for vortex methods in computational fluid dynamics
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2002)The random vortex method is a Lagrangian technique which involves solving the stream function-vorticity formulation of the Navier-Stokes equations. Discrete vortex particles, which are created at the surface to satisfy ... -
A practical framework for strategic noise mapping
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2008)Environmental noise is a major form of pollution and it is estimated that at least one quarter of the population of the EU suffer a reduced quality of life due to exposure to noise. To address the problem the European Union ... -
A quasi three dimensional numerical model for terrain propagation
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering, 2002)Numerical modeling techniques provide a powerful tool for the optimization of modern land mobile radio communications systems. Mathematically, propagation over terrain constitutes a three-dimensional vector field problem ... -
A socio-technical evaluation of the effectiveness of social housing energy efficient upgrading in Ireland
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2015)This dissertation evaluates the results from a multi-level multidisciplinary study on the effect of energy efficient upgrading on social housing. The National Energy Efficiency Action Plan aims to deliver a 20% national ... -
A stated preference analysis of real time public transport information
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, 2008)This thesis reports the outcomes of a study conducted to ascertain the benefits derived from the use of real-time public transport information. The study focuses upon three areas of individuals preferences in relation to ... -
A stochastic model of damage accumulation in acrylic bone cement : application to failure modelling of cemented hip replacement
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2003)Acrylic bone cement, used to fixate several forms of orthopaedic joint replacement prosthesis, has a variable fatigue resistance arising mainly from porosity. It is argued that deterministic modelling assumptions of ... -
A study of heat transfer in forced convective drying with the application of laser-induced fluorescence thermometry
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2016)Industrial drying is a highly energy-intensive process accounting for up to 25% of energy consumption in some developed countries. While there is a wide range of literature on the topic of drying, the majority of studies ... -
A study of the heat transfer processes and related flows of a synthetic jet impinging perpendicular to a heated surface
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2011)To maintain the development of modern technology and its thermally intensive processes, versatile methods of enhancing localised heat transfer are continually required. This need has resulted in an on-going drive to achieve ...
