Towards 3D bioprinting of anatomically accurate, mechanically reinforced cartilage templates for biological joint resurfacing
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2018)Osteoarthritis (OA) is a pervasive disease worldwide which affects the articular cartilage and the underlying bone in synovial joints such as the knee. Currently, the only treatment for a severely degenerated knee joint ... -
Towards engineering whole bones through endochondral ossification
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2014)A number of clinical situations exist where bone regeneration is required in large quantities, such as for the treatment of critical size bone defects and for the replacement of whole bones lost due to trauma or disease. ... -
Towards Integration of Two-Dimensional Hexagonal Boron Nitride (2D h-BN) in Energy Conversion and Storage Devices
(2022)The prominence of two-dimensional hexagonal boron nitride (2D h-BN) nanomaterials in the energy industry has recently grown rapidly due to their broad applications in newly developed energy systems. This was necessitated ... -
Towards Quieter Air-Cooling Systems: Rotor Self-Noise Prediction for Axial Cooling Fans
(2022)Aeroacoustic noise is seen as a major threat to the survival of air cooling for electronics systems. The application of numerical noise prediction methods is highly constrained by computational costs. A reduced-order model ... -
Towards the development of a novel electro-pneumatic hybrid robot morphology
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2015)Existing robot morphologies have typically failed to demonstrate the full range of terrain adaptability, physical practicality and behavioural diversity needed for general-purpose use, as the most suitable morphologies for ... -
Towards the development of a robotic dexterity assessment framework
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Discipline of Mechanical & Manuf. Eng, 2017)The importance of flexible manufacturing processes and small-scale assembly is growing due to the increased pace of globalisation and greater consumer demands for product customisation. To address this trend, there has ... -
TRPV4-mediates oscillatory fluid shear mechanotransduction in mesenchymal stem cells in part via the primary cilium
(2018)Skeletal homeostasis requires the continued replenishment of the bone forming osteoblast from a mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) population, a process that has been shown to be mechanically regulated. However, the mechanisms ... -
Two- and three-dimensional in vitro nucleus pulposus cultures: An in silico analysis of local nutrient microenvironments
(2022)Background It is well established that the unique biochemical microenvironment of the intervertebral disc plays a predominant role in cell viability and biosynthesis. However, unless the effect of microenvironmental ... -
Two-phase flow and heat transfer in reflux thermosyphons
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 2016)Improved cooling technologies are becoming necessary in electronic applications, specifically Radio Frequency Power Amplifiers (RFPA) installed in tower-top Remote Radioheads (RRH). Current methods of cooling are becoming ... -
Ultra-broadband sound absorption in a compact multi-chamber micro-perforated panel absorber with varying depths
(2024)This study presents an enhanced multi-chamber micro-perforated panel absorber (MC-MPPA) with varying sub-chamber depths, offering ultra-broadband low-frequency sound absorption. Traditional micro-perforated panel absorbers ... -
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 ... -
Under surface pressure sensing technique for the evaluation of contact stresses
(2005)In metal forming operations, the intensity and distribution of stresses at the tool/material interface have great influence on the pattern and mode of deformation. This is due to the effect of frictional forces, being ... -
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 ... -
The Use of CFD for Investigating Fluidelastic Instability in Tube Arrays
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Engineering. Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering, 2007)There are several applications of tube arrays subject to cross flow in the industry, mostly for heat exchanging. These tubes are subject to forces arising due to the flow, and under certain conditions they can experience ...
