Analysis of failure modes for a non-crimp basalt fiber reinforced epoxy composite under flexural and interlaminar shear loading

Chowdhury, Indraneel R.; Nash, Niamh; Portela, Alexandre; O'Dowd, Noel P.; Comer, Anthony J. (Elsevier, 2020)

This study investigates the mechanical properties (inter laminar shear and flexural strength) and failure modes of a basalt/epoxy composite, manufactured using a non-crimp-fabric (NCF) with vacuum assisted resin infusion ...
The analysis of lactate-pyruvate levels and growth proliferation rates of endothelial cells on urinary bladder matrix: a potential vascular graft

Callanan, Anthony; Guihen, Elizabeth; Walsh, Michael T.; O'Connor, William T.; McGloughlin, Timothy M. (2010)

Arterial diseases are a common cause of death in the western world. The development of arterial substitute materials for the improved treatment of cardiovascular diseases is vital. One such material is urinary bladder ...
Analysis of the correlation between strength and fractal dimension of gravelly soil in debris-flow source areas

Na, He; Tao, Li; Wei, Zhong; Cosgrove, Tom; Mei, Zeng (Bentham Open, 2016)

Particle size distribution of gravelly soil plays a crucial role in debris flow initiation. For better understanding the mechanism of debris flow formation, two crucial mechanical property parameters of the gravelly soil ...
An analytical method for powder flow characterisation in direct energy deposition

Mouchard, Adrien; Pomeroy, Michael J.; Robinson, J.S.; McAuliffe, Bryan; Donovan, Simon; Tanner, David A. (Elsevier, 2021)

In Direct Energy Deposition, manufacturers require a simple and economical technique to simulate a given powder flux. This study proposes a novel analytical method based on a straightforward measurement technique to ...
Analytical plane-stress recovery of non-prismatic beams under partial cross-sectional loads and surface forces

Vilar, M.M.S.; Masjedi, P. Khaneh; Hadjiloizi, Demetra A.; Weaver, Paul M. (Elsevier, 2021)

High levels of strength- and stiffness-to-mass ratio can be achieved in slender structures by lengthwise tailoring of their cross-sectional areas. During use, a non-prismatic beam element can be subject to surface forces ...
Anticipating the need for new skills for the future aerospace and aviation professionals

Lappas, Ilias; Kourousis, Kyriakos I. (Institute of Aeronautics and Space, 2016)

This study aims to translate needed future skills to the university classroom for the aerospace and aviation industry personnel, given the fast-paced change taking place in both the industry and the education sectors. A ...
Applying lean six sigma methodology to a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility: A case study

Byrne, Brian; McDermott, Olivia; Noonan, John (MDPI, 2021)

This research examines a case study on the implementation of an effective approach to advanced Lean Six Sigma problem-solving within a pharmaceutical manufacturing site which manufactures acetaminophen (paracetamol containing ...
Assessment of intermittently loaded woodchip and sand filters to treat dairy soiled water

Murnane, John G.; Brennan, R.B.; Healy, Mark G.; Fenton, O. (Elsevier, 2016)

Land application of dairy soiled water (DSW) is expensive relative to its nutrient replacement value. The use of aerobic filters is an effective alternative method of treatment and potentially allows the final effluent ...
Assessment of technical airworthiness in military aviation: implementation and further advancement of the bow-tie model

Purton, Leon; Clothier, Reece; Kourousis, Kyriakos I. (Elsevier, 2014)

International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) serve to harmonize the safety regulation of civil aviation around the world. ICAO SARPs are only applicable to countries signatory ...
Asymptotic homogenization for modeling of wingbox structures

Hadjiloizi, Demetra A.; Weaver, Paul M. (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics:AIAA, 2018)

The asymptotic homogenization technique has been used to analyze a wing box structure consisting of trapezoidally arranged reinforcements encased within thin rectangular plates. Ignoring stress concentration effects at ...
Augmentation cystoplasty and extracellular matrix scaffolds: an ex vivo comparative study with autogenous detubularised Ileum

Davis, Niall Francis; Mooney, Rory; Callanan, Anthony; Flood, Hugh D.; McGloughlin, Timothy M. (Public Library of Science, 2011)

Background: Augmentation cystoplasty (AC) with autogenous ileum remains the current gold standard surgical treatment for many patients with end-stage bladder disease. However, the presence of mucus-secreting epithelium ...
