The martensite transformation in Ni-based coatings & bulk alloys

Clancy, Marie (University of Limerick, 2010)

This thesis examines the formation of martensite in Ni-based super-alloys in both an alloy-coating system and in the bulk alloy, NiPtAl. The alloy-coating study was designed to test the hypothesis that an extra layer of ...
Material waste in the Northern Ireland construction industry: on-site management causes and methods of prevention

Marinelli, Marina; Dolan, Matthew; Spillane, John P.; Konanahalli, Ashwini (ARCOM: Association of Researchers in Construction Management, 2014)

The construction industry in Northern Ireland is one of the major contributors of construction waste to landfill each year. The aim of this research paper is to identify the core on-site management causes of material waste ...
Measurement and prediction of machining induced redistribution of residual stress in the aluminium alloy 7449

Robinson, J.S.; Tanner, David A.; Truman, C.E.; Wimpory, R.C. (Springer, 2011)

The residual stress distributions in two 7449 aluminium alloy rectilinear blocks have been determined using neutron diffraction. Heat treatment included cold water immersion quenching and a period of precipitation hardening. ...
Measurement of strain induced responses at femoral artery bypass graft junctions

Campbell, Tríona (University of Limerick, 2015)

Femoral artery bypass grafts have a predilection for failure at the distal anastomosis due to restenosis, within a short period of time, the cause of which has been attributed to altered haemodynamics. This study proposes ...
Mechanical characterisation of composite materials with 3D woven reinforcement architectures

Obande, Winifred O. (University of Limerick, 2016)

The use of traditional two-dimensional (2D) fibre preforms can be associated with poor out-of-plane and interlaminar mechanical performance, particularly in response to impact loads. Such preforms comprise multiple plies ...
Mediation within Irish construction industry: identifying success factors for appropriate competencies and processes

Spillane, John P.; Oyedele, Lukumon O.; Hande, Evelyn; von Meding, Jason K.; Konanahalli, Ashwini; Jaiyeoba, Babatunde E.; Tijani, Iyabo K. (Academic Journals, 2011)

The construction industry notoriously excels at dispute creation both in Ireland and abroad. This paper examines mediation in the Irish construction industry as a means of conflict and dispute resolution. It aims to ...
Membraneless water filtration using CO2

Shin, Sangwoo; Shardt, Orest; Warren, Patrick B.; Stone, Howard A. (Nature Publishing Group, 2017)

Water purification technologies such as microfiltration/ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis utilize porous membranes to remove suspended particles and solutes. These membranes, however, cause many drawbacks such as a ...
Mesenchymal stem cell mechanotransduction is cAMP dependent and regulated by adenylyl cyclase 6 and the primary cilium

Johnson, Gillian P.; Stavenschi, Elena; Eichholz, Kian F.; Corrigan, Michele A.; Fair, Seán; Hoey, David A. (Company of Biologists, 2018)

Mechanical loading is a potent stimulus of bone adaptation, requiring the replenishment of the osteoblast from a progenitor population. One such progenitor is themesenchymal stemcell (MSC), which undergoes osteogenic ...
Microfluidic droplet-based PCR instrumentation for high-throughput gene expression profiling and biomarker discovery

Hayes, Christopher J.; Dalton, Tara (Elsevier, 2015)

PCR is a common and often indispensable technique used in medical and biological research labs for a variety of applications. Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) has become a definitive technique for quantitating ...
Micromechanical modelling and testing of a 9Cr tempered martensitic steel

Golden, Brian J. (University of Limerick, 2016)

The work in this thesis focuses on the martensitic steel known as P91. In this work the mechanical response of the material was examined through nite element material modelling and the results validated through ...
Micromechanical modelling of damage and failure in fibre reinforced composites under loading in the transverse plane

Vaughan, Ted Joseph (University of Limerick, 2011)

Fibre reinforced composites exhibit a gradual damage accumulation to failure, with a multitude of hierarchical dissipative mechanisms responsible for the deterioration of mechanical properties. In order to predict failure ...
Microscale deformation of a tempered martensite ferritic steel:Modelling and experimental study of grain and sub-grain interactions

Golden, Brian J; Li, Dong-Feng; Guo, Yina; Tiernan, Peter; Leen, Sean B.; O'Dowd, Noel P. (Elsevier, 2015)

In this paper, a nite-element modelling framework is presented with explicit representation of polycrystalline microstructure for a tempered martensite ferritic steel. A miniature notched specimen was manufactured from ...
Microscopical analysis and characterisation of bioactive porous silicon nanosponge particles

Chadwick, Edward G. (University of Limerick, 2014)

Porous silicon finds numerous applications in the areas of bio-technology, drug delivery, energetic materials and catalysis. Vesta Sciences (US Research Company) have led the development of porous silicon nanosponge ...
Microstructural characterisation of metallurgical grade porous silicon nanosponge particles

Chadwick, Edward G.; Belochapkine, Serguei; Tanner, David A. (Springer, 2012)

Porous silicon finds numerous applications in the areas of bio-technology, drug delivery, energetic materials and catalysis. Recent studies by Vesta Sciences have led to the development of porous silicon nanosponge particles ...
Military airworthiness management frameworks: a critical review

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

Despite all current measures taken to assure their safety, aircraft are still crashing. Since 1944 there has been a global organization, International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), focused on providing rules for ...
Minimal climate change impacts on natural organic matter forecasted for a potable water supply in Ireland

O'Driscoll, Connie; Ledesma, José L. J.; Coll, John; Murnane, John G.; Nolan, Paul; Mockler, Eva M.; Futter, Martyn N.; Xiao, Liwen W. (Elsevier, 2018)

Natural organic matter poses an increasing challenge to water managers because of its potential adverse impacts on water treatment and distribution, and subsequently human health. Projections were made of impacts of climate ...
Mitigation of biological adhesion to aircraft leading edge surfaces

Kok, Mariana (University of Limerick, 2014)

Contamination caused by insects on aircraft leading edge surfaces can result in premature transition of the boundary layer, leading to an increase in skin friction drag and fuel consumption. Consequently, the use of novel ...
Modelling diffusion from drug eluting stents in compressed arterial tissue

Denny, William John (University of Limerick, 2013)

Coronary artery disease is atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries that results in blockages or narrowing of the arterial wall, is caused by the accumulation of lipid-laden atherosclerotic plaque. Drug eluting stents ...
Modelling of radiative heat transfer of a square trihedral design radiator panel on the lunar surface

Butler, Colin; Punch, Jeff; Flanagan, Ronan; Jeffers, Nicholas (2019)

In this study, a radiative thermal model is developed which can be used to predict the heat transfer performance of radiator panels on the lunar surface. It includes the effects of all environmental sources of radiation ...
Modelling the relationships between physical risk factors and operator performance in short cycle

Finneran, Aoife (University of Limerick, Department of Manufacturing & Operations Engineering, 2010)
