Carotid plaque response to arterial stenting : an experimental and numerical investigation

Lawlor, Michael Gerard (University of Limerick, 2012)

Each year, approximately 8,500 people suffer a stroke in Ireland, of which 2,500 are fatal. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the European Union attributing to over two million deaths each year. ...
Cell-seeded decellularised extracellular matrices as an advanced approach for tissue engineering

Piterina, Anna Valentinova; Davis, Laura M.; Meaney, Claire L.; Cloonan, Aidan J.; Walsh, Michael T.; McGloughlin, Timothy M. (2009)

Development and optimisation of therapeutic applications using biological scaffolds composed of naturally occurring extracellular matrix (ECM) have received significant attention in the field of tissue engineering. ...
Challenges of UK/Irish contractors regarding material management and logistics in confined site construction

Spillane, John P.; Oyedele, Lukumon O.; von Meding, Jason K.; Konanahalli, Ashwini; Jaiyeoba, Babatunde E.; Tijani, Iyabo K. (Massey University, New Zealand, 2011)

The aim of this paper is to identify the various managerial issues encountered by UK/Irish contractors in the management of materials in confined urban construction sites. Through extensive literature review, detailed ...
Characterisation of head-hardened rail steel in terms of cyclic plasticity response and microstructure for improved material modelling

Athukorala, Asitha C.; De Pellegrin, Dennis V.; Kourousis, Kyriakos I. (Elsevier, 2016)

Stress- and strain-controlled tests of heat treated high-strength rail steel (Australian Standard AS1085.1) have been performed in order to improve the characterisation of the said material׳s ratcheting and fatigue wear ...
Characterisation of OSB properties for application in gridshells

Collins, Matthew; Cosgrove, Tom; Mellad, Abdussalam (2017)

In order to establish the viability and efficiency of Orientated Strand Board (OSB) for use in bending active gridshells, the relevant material properties need to be established. Standard test methods for OSB assume the ...
Characterisation of the fundamental function(s) of bovine serum albumin in the culture of NS0 cells

McNamara, Liam (University of Limerick, 2016)

The large-scale production of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) is commonly carried out using NS0 cells, which are a cholesterol deficient mouse myeloma cell line. The non-ionic surfactant Pluronic F-68 is routinely ...
Characterising human atherosclerotic carotid plaque tissue composition and morphology using combined spectroscopic and imaging modalities

Barrett, Hilary E.; Mulvihill, John J.E.; Cunnane, Eoghan M.; Walsh, Michael T. (BioMed Central, 2015)

Calcification is a marked pathological component in carotid artery plaque. Studies have suggested that calcification may induce regions of high stress concentrations therefore increasing the potential for rupture. However, ...
The characterization of obstructed laminar channel flows for local heat transfer enhancement in microfluidic cooling applications

Waddell, Alistair Martin (University of Limerick, 2015)

Some of the largest heat fluxes that can be found in contemporary engineering applications (O ∼ 10^3 W/cm2) are generated by laser-bar arrays within Photonics Integrated Circuits (PICs) – the backbone of optical telecommunication ...
Chemically responsive hydrogel deformation mechanics: a review

Fennell, Eanna; Huyghe, Jacques M. (MDPI, 2019)

A hydrogel is a polymeric three-dimensional network structure. The applications of this material type are diversified over a broad range of fields. Their soft nature and similarity to natural tissue allows for their use ...
Cold compression of 7075 and factors influencing stress relief

Robinson, J.S.; Wimpory, R.C.; Tanner, David A.; Mooney, B.; Truman, C.E.; Panzner, T. (ASTM International, 2018)

The residual stresses in heat-treated 7075 aluminum alloy blocks have been characterized using neutron diffraction, X-ray diffraction, and incremental center-hole drilling. Specimens were quenched to induce high-magnitude ...
Combined finite element and phase field method for simulation of austenite grain growth in the heat-affected zone of a martensitic steel weld

Shi, L.; Alexandratos, S.A.; O'Dowd, Noel P. (Sage, 2019)

Engineering components operating at high temperature often fail due to the initiation and growth of cracks in the heat-affected zone (HAZ) adjacent to a weld. Understanding the effects of microstructural evolution in the ...
