Acoustic waves at the interface of a pre-stressed incompressible elastic solid and a viscous fluid
(Elsevier, 2006-11-10)We analyse the influence of pre-stress on the propagation of interfacial waves along the boundary of an incompressible hyperelastic half-space that is in contact with a viscous fluid extending to infinity in the adjoining ... -
Actively controllable topological phase transition in phononic beam systems
(Elsevier, 2020-05-01)Topological insulators, which allow edge or interface waves but forbid bulk waves, have revolutionized our scientific cognition of acoustic/elastic systems. Due to their nontrivial topological characteristics, edge (interface) ... -
An algorithm for the unit group of the Burnside ring of a finite group
(Cambridge University Press, 2007-01)In this note we present an algorithm for the construction of the unit group of the Burnside ring Ω(G) of a finite group G from a list of representatives of the conjugacy classes of subgroups of G. -
Analogues of Goldschmidt's thesis for fusion systems
(Elsevier, 2010-12-15)We extend the results of David Goldschmidt's thesis concerning fusion in finite groups to saturated fusion systems and to all primes. -
Analysis of an Observational Studies - An Example Using Data from the Irish Cancer Registry
(2011)The study presented below aimed to compare survival of colorectal cancer patients against survival of a sub-population with a secondary disease, in ammatory bowel disease (IBD). The data were taken from a observational ... -

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 ... -
Analyzing time-course microarray data using functional data analysis - a review
(Statistical Applications in Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2011-05)Gene expression over time can be viewed as a continuous process and therefore represented as a continuous curve or function. Functional data analysis (FDA) is a statistical methodology used to analyze functional data ... -
The annual GiG: Groups in Galway
(NUI Galway, 2015)The GiG (Groups in Galway) conference, and related activity, has been running annually since 1978 and is the longest running annual international mathematical conference on a special topic. It has its origin from the ... -
Asymptotic results for bifurcations in pure bending of rubber blocks
(Oxford Journals, 2008-03)The bifurcation of an incompressible neo-Hookean thick block with a ratio of thickness to length n, subject to pure bending, is considered. The two incremental equilibrium equations corresponding to a nonlinear pre-buckling ... -
At least three invariants are necessary to model the mechanical response of incompressible, transversely isotropic materials
(Springer, 2013-04-18)The modelling of off-axis simple tension experiments on transversely isotropic nonlinearly elastic materials is considered. A testing protocol is proposed where normal force is applied to one edge of a rectangular specimen ... -
Automated estimation of collagen fibre dispersion in the dermis and its contribution to the anisotropic behaviour of skin
(Springer, 2012-08)Collagen fibres play an important role in the mechanical behaviour of many soft tissues. Modelling of such tissues now often incorporates a collagen fibre distribution. However, the availability of accurate structural data ... -
Bayesian Model Specification: Some problems related to model choice and calibration
(2011)In the development of Bayesian model specification for inference and prediction we focus on the conditional distributions p([theta],[beta]) and p(D[theta],[beta]), with data D and background assumptions [beta], and ... -
Bending control and stability of functionally graded dielectric elastomers
(Elsevier, 2021-01-18)A rectangular plate of dielectric elastomer exhibiting gradients of material properties through its thickness will deform inhomogeneously when a potential difference is applied to compliant electrodes on its major surfaces, ... -
Bending instabilities of soft biological tissues
(Elsevier, 2009-12-15)Rubber components and soft biological tissues are often subjected to large bending deformations while 'in service'. The circumferential line elements on the inner face of a bent block can contract up to a certain critical ... -
Bimodular rubber buckles early in bending
(Elsevier, 2009-12-03)A block of rubber eventually buckles under severe flexure, and several axial wrinkles appear on the inner curved face of the bent block. Experimental measurements reveal that the buckling occurs earlier - at lower compressive ... -
Bioassay models with natural mortality and random effects
(2011)In fitting dose-response models to entomological data it is often necessary to take account of natural mortality and/or overdispersion. The standard approach to handle natural mortality is to use Abbott¿s formula. Standard ... -
Bioassays with natural mortality: handling overdispersion using random effects
(2011)In fitting dose-response models to entomological data it is often necessary to take account of natural mortality and/or overdispersion. The standard approach to handle natural mortality is to use Abbott's formula (Abbott, ... -
Bleustein-Gulyaev waves in some functionally graded materials
(Elsevier, 2006-02-28)Functionally Graded Materials are inhomogeneous elastic bodies whose properties vary continuously with space. Hence consider a half-space (x2>0) occupied by a special Functionally Graded Material made of an hexagonal (6 ... -
The BMR freeness conjecture for the 2-reflection groups
(American Mathematical Society, 2016-10-12)We prove the freeness conjecture of Broue, Malle and Rouquier for the Hecke algebras associated to the primitive complex 2-reflection groups with a single conjugacy class of reflections.
