The balance between safety and productivity and its relationship with human factors and safety awareness and communication in aircraft manufacturing

Karanikas, Nektarios; Melis, Damien Jose; Kourousis, Kyriakos I. (Elsevier, 2018)

Background: This paper presents the findings of a pilot research survey which assessed the degree of balance between safety and productivity, and its relationship with awareness and communication of human factors and ...
Biomechanical and computational investigation of the hip protector design and function

Madrecka, Aleksandra (University of Limerick, 2012)

and related hip fracture in the elderly population are a serious problem in health care. It is widely documented that prevention of hip fracture has the potential to improve the quality of life and substantially decrease ...
BOJCAS: Bolted joints in composite aircraft structures

McCarthy, Michael A. (University of Limerick, 2003)

The objective of BOJCAS was to develop advanced design methods for bolted joints in composite aircraft structures. This is a critical technology supporting the introduction of composites into the primary structure of ...
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

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 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.; 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 ...
Comparing the endothelialisation of extracellular matrix bioscaffolds with coated synthetic vascular graft materials

Coakley, Daniel Nicholas Martin; Shaikh, F.M; O'Sullivan, K; Kavanagh, Eamon G; Grace, P.A.; Walsh, Stewart R.; McGloughlin, Timothy M. (Elsevier, 2016)

Introduction Existing synthetic vascular grafts have unacceptably high failure rates when replacing small diameter infrapopliteal vessels [1]. The lack of a confluent endothelial lining is repeatedly cited as the most ...
A comparison of modelling techniques for computing wall stress in abdominal aortic aneurysms

Doyle, Barry J.; Callanan, Anthony; McGloughlin, Timothy M. (BioMed Central, 2007)

BACKGROUND: Aneurysms, in particular abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), form a significant portion of cardiovascular related deaths. There is much debate as to the most suitable tool for rupture prediction and interventional ...
Comparison of open hole tension characteristics of high strength glass and carbon fibre-reinforced composite materials

O'Higgins, Ronan M.; McCarthy, Michael A.; McCarthy, Conor T. (Elsevier, 2008)

An experimental study was carried out to determine the open hole tension (OHT) characteristics of carbon fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) and high strength S2-glass fibre-reinforced plastic (GFRP). Tests to failure and ...
Computational modelling of energy absorption characteristics of epoxy/CNT nanocomposites

Weidt, David (University of Limerick, 2014)

Epoxy-based composite laminates frequently behave as brittle materials under various types of loading, from quasi-static to impact, as they cannot absorb/dissipate enough energy. Matrix cracks develop due to the brittle ...
Constitutive modeling of additive manufactured Ti-6Al-4V cyclic elastoplastic behaviour

Kourousis, Kyriakos I.; Agius, Dylan J.; Wang, Chun H.; Subic, Aleksandar (Otto von Guericke Universitaet * Institut fuer Mechanik, 2016)

Metal additive manufacturing techniques have been increasingly attracting the interest of the aerospace and biomedical industry. A particular focus has been on high value and complexity parts and components, as there the ...
Constitutive modeling of Aluminum Alloy 7050 cyclic mean stress relaxation and ratcheting

Kourousis, Kyriakos I.; Dafalias, Yannis F. (2013)

The challenge of describing in a generalized mathematical pattern the inelastic behavior of metals has led to the development of several constitutive models, especially in the field of cyclic plasticity, where phenomena ...
Continuous flow digital PCR for absolute quantification of nucleic acids

Dalton, Mark A. (University of Limerick, 2012)

Digital polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has emerged as an extremely powerful technique for quantification of nucleic acids. Digital PCR offers superior quantification accuracy, precision and sensitivity compared to ...
Cyclic plasticity model with multiplicative backstress decomposition

Kourousis, Kyriakos I.; Saridis, G.J.; Dafalias, Yannis F. (Transworld Research Network, 2007)

The challenge of developing a generalized mathematical pattern to describe the plastic behaviour of metals, lead researchers to propose various constitutive models, especially in the field of cyclic plasticity, where ...
