Technology Transfer for Product Life Cycle Extension: A Model for Successful Implementation
(2009)This paper examines the logistical and operational issues relating to technology transfer. It documents the specific problems encountered as well as the solution designed to overcome these problems. The paper presents a ... -
Technology transfer model
(2007)According to Burgleman and Maidique (1998) the ability to undertake technology transfer is a key capability for an organisation. It enables them to extend their product life cycles when older technologies mature. Technology ... -
Thermomechanical modelling for the linear friction welding process of Ni-based superalloy and verification
(SAGE Publications, 2020-01-22)This paper presents a fully coupled thermomechanical model for the linear friction welding process of Inconel-718 nickel-based superalloy by using the finite element method. Friction heat, plastic work, and contact formulation ... -
Thought-piece on the effectiveness of contemporary project management and its top performing enablers
(IEEE, 2021-06-10)One of the most important factors for project success is effective contemporary project management. The aim of this study is to provide project manager practitioners with access to the successful contemporary project ... -
Three-dimensional finite element modelling for additive manufacturing of Ti-6Al-4V components: Effect of scanning strategies on temperature history and residual stress
(Elsevier, 2022-03-22)A key challenge for metal additive manufacturing is the requirement to adapt process-structure-property methods currently under development to realistic, complex geometries. Of specific concern in the present work is the ... -
Towards a process-structure model for Ti-6Al-4V during additive manufacturing
(Elsevier, 2020-12-15)This paper presents the development of an integrated approach for microstructure prediction in laser beam powder bed fusion (PBF-LB) manufacturing of Ti-6Al-4V, primarily focused on the solidification morphology and ... -
Towards effective knowledge management: a requirements analysis of European manufacturing SMEs
(IOS Press, 2006)Knowledge is a key resource that must be managed within European organisations in general, and because of their importance to the economy Manufacturing SMEs in particular. The key challenges facing such organisations are ... -

Towards Empathic Design in the Irish Medical Device Industry
(2012-05)The goal of this study is twofold (a) to identify whether empathic design methods are used in the medical device industry in Ireland and (b) to identify the challenges faced by designers when implementing empathic design ... -
Towards holistic goal centered performance management in software development: lessons from a best practice analysis
(SciKA, 2015)There are strong motivating factors for more effective performance measurement practices in software development. Astute practices in this domain are lauded to improve efficiency and effectiveness. However previous studies ... -
Truncation error in mesh-free particle methods
(2006-06-25)A truncation error analysis has been developed for the approximation of spatial derivatives in smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) and related first-order consistent methods such as the first-order form of the reproducing ... -
Turbocharging the journey into the liminal space and beyond
(International Academy of Technology, Education and Development (IATED), 2017-03-06)In the last decade, tertiary educational environments accommodated increasing student numbers (Reidy, 2015) while remaining competitive in differentiating their programmes in an arena of MOOCs (Alraimi, Zo, & Ciganek, ... -
A two and three-dimensional CFD investigation into performance prediction and wake characterisation of a vertical axis turbine
(AIP Publishing, 2018-05-24)The emergence of tidal energy as a key renewable energy source requires the development of computational design models for accurate prediction of turbine performance and wake effects whilst also being computationally ... -

Understanding ambient intelligence: Typologies for systems development
(2006)This paper examines the concept of ambient intelligence (AmI). Currently research in this field is ambiguous. There are not many definitions and consequently it is difficult to understand the concept. This paper seeks to ... -
A unified viscoplastic model for high temperature low cycle fatigue of service-aged P91 steel
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2014-01-07)The finite element (FE) implementation of a hyperbolic sine unified cyclic viscoplasticity model is presented. The hyperbolic sine flow rule facilitates the identification of strain-rate independent material parameters for ... -
User acceptance of mandated technology: An analysis of the role of moderating factors
(Elsevier, 2020-01-28)This research assesses how the characteristics of age, gender and personality influence user acceptance of a software system in a mandated industrial setting. Guided by a conceptual framework based on the Unified Technology ... -
Using Wikis to facilitate team work: German and Irish students' perspectives
(All Ireland Society for Higher Education (AISHE), 2011)Enhanced collaboration among multicultural European countries is necessary for effective enterprise development and innovation. The current climate of an increasingly competitive global economy provides opportunities to ... -
Utility of osteoporosis self-assessment tool as a screening tool for osteoporosis in Irish men and women: Results of the DXA-HIP project
(Elsevier, 2021-03-03)Many algorithms have been developed and publicised over the past 2 decades for identifying those most likely to have osteoporosis or low BMD, or at increased risk of fragility fracture. The Osteoporosis Self-assessment ...
