Finite element simulation of a metal forming process & die design
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2000)Thread Rolling (also known as roll threading) is a cold forming process for producing threads or other helical or annular forms on a fastener. This is achieved by rolling the surface profile of hardened steel dies onto the ... -
Flexible solar and thermal energy conversion devices: Organic photovoltaics (OPVs), organic thermoelectric generators (OTEGs) and hybrid PV-TEG systems
(2022)Solar and thermal energy conversion are two major renewable energy technologies highly sought after in the past two decades by academia, industry, and policymakers. Besides the traditionally large-size solar and thermal ... -
Flow regime characterisation of an impinging axisymmetric synthetic jet
(2013)Impinging synthetic jets have excellent potential for energy-efficient local cooling in confined geometries. For a given geometry, synthetic jet flows are mainly characterised by the Reynolds number and the ratio of stroke ... -
Flow structures and heat transfer enhancement in the wakes of sliding bubbles
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2016)The motion of a bubble through a fluid has attracted considerable scientific attention for many years due to the complex, interesting fluid dynamics in their wakes, coupled to a rich and varied interface motion. Additionally, ... -
Fluctuating fluid flow and heat transfer of an obliquely impinging air jet
(2008)Heat transfer to an obliquely impinging air jet is investigated experimentally. Distributions of the mean and the fluctuating component of the surface heat transfer are reported for a jet Reynolds number of 10,000, nozzle ... -
Forced convection in the wakes of sliding bubbles
(2016)Both vapour and gas bubbles are known to significantly increase heat transfer rates between a heated surface and the surrounding fluid, even with no phase change. However, the complex wake structures means that the surface ... -
Foreword: Special Section on Data Center Cooling
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2017)Data centers account for a significant and growing fraction of the worldwide electricity demand, rising by an average of 11% per year from 2000 to a consumption of 27.1 GW in 2010, representing 1.3% of the total worldwide ... -
FPGA based solver for internet eigenvectors
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2010)Calculating an Internet Eigenvector for Internet ranking is a massive computational problem dominated by Sparse Matrix by Vector Multiplication (SMVM) where the matrix is very sparse, unsymmetrical and unstructured. The ... -
Fracture and fatigue in High Impact Polystyrene : the influence of secondary phase morphology (Rubber Particle Size and Effective Rubber Phase Volume) on fracture and fatigue behaviour in HIPS
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2004)The subject of the following thesis is the influence of the secondary phase morphology on fracture and fatigue behaviour in High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS). The motivation of the work was the premature failure of parts ... -

The fracture toughness of soft tissues
(2012)Fracture toughness is important for any material, but to date there have been few investigations of this mechanical property in soft mammalian tissues. This paper presents new data on porcine muscle tissue and a detailed ... -
From "Bench to Bedside": In-Silico Modelling to Inform the Assessment of Intervertebral Disc Cell-Based Therapies
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2023)Lower back pain is a major global socio-economic concern, with the primary cause believed to be degeneration of the intervertebral disc (IVD). While the spine field is filled with a growing body of basic research and many ... -
A Front Tracking Model for Transient Solidification of Al-7wt%Si in a Bridgman Furnace
(2012)The Bridgman furnace is widely used in industry and research. This paper outlines a working onedimensional model for tracking the columnar solidification front in a Bridgman furnace where the pulling velocity, and hence ... -
Functional Properties of Cartilaginous Tissues Engineered From Infrapatellar Fat Pad Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells.
(2010)Articular cartilage has a poor intrinsic capacity for self-repair. The advent of autologous chondrocyte implantation has provided a feasible method to treat cartilage defects. However, the associated drawbacks with the ... -
Fundamental Insights into Arterial Remodelling; Strain-Mediated Degradation of Arterial Collagen
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2019)Maladaptive remodelling of structurally significant collagen fibres in the arterial wall is believed to play a critical role in the development and progression of degenerative arterial disease. A greater understanding of ... -
Fundamental insights into the biomechanics of atherosclerotic plaque tissue: Determining possible new diagnostic measures of plaque vulnerability
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2022)Carotid atherosclerotic plaque rupture is known to be a major contributor to ischaemic stroke cases. The development of atherosclerotic plaques within the vessel wall alters both the geometry and mechanical environment of ...
