Open Access to Research Outputs
University of Galway policy on Open Access to Research Outputs, adopted by the Academic Council, aims to promote open access to the University’s publications. Authors of peer-reviewed articles and peer-reviewed conference papers resulting from research must deposit a copy in the ARAN (University of Galway Research Repository). ARAN enables easy discovery of publications through global search engines such as Google and complements IRIS by linking from author profiles to the full text of University publications. See Help for information on how to submit your publications to ARAN.

(Australasia Conference on Information Systems (ACIS), 2014-12-04)Two of the key themes in contemporary ISD literature are (i) how to build and release systems in shorter time frames and (ii) how to enable work group to build systems in a cohesive manner. This is reflected by today s ... -
Noninvasive measurement of local stress inside soft materials with programmed shear waves
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2023-03-08)Mechanical stresses across different length scales play a fundamental role in understanding biological systems¿ functions and engineering soft machines and devices. However, it is challenging to noninvasively probe local ... -
Analysis of in vivo skin anisotropy using elastic wave measurements and Bayesian modelling
(Springer, 2023-04-06)In vivo skin exhibits viscoelastic, hyper-elastic and non-linear characteristics. It is under a constant state of non-equibiaxial tension in its natural configuration and is reinforced with oriented collagen fibers, which ... -
Voltage-controlled topological interface states for bending waves in soft dielectric phononic crystal plates
(Elsevier, 2022-11-19)The operating frequency range of passive topological phononic crystals is generally fixed and narrow, limiting their practical applications. To overcome this difficulty, here we design and investigate a one-dimensional ...
